About Fire Wallet
🔥FIRE WALLET 🔥 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeXDDegwhgA TL;DR: Fire Wallet is a fast, end-to-end encrypted, non-custodial stablecoin wallet with built-in payment processing and fiat on/off ramps, built by the team that created MobileCoin, the cryptocurrency inside Signal. Hey Bookface! We're Josh, Michael, and Manny and we're building Fire Wallet! 🔥Why we built this Most wallets and payment processors don’t work FOR you. They're slow, route your payments in the way that earns them the most, and they leak your financial life to anyone asking. Worse: every single one hold the keys to your money. We believe your financial tools should act in your interest and, frankly, that your money should be yours. 🔥What Fire does Multi-chain, non-custodial, end-to-end encrypted wallet. Your keys, your money, your assets: you are in full control of your funds at all times. Least Cost Routing. Every swap and payment takes the cheapest path, not the one that pays a middleman the most. Self-sovereign payment processing. Send an invoice straight from the wallet. Get paid from your web checkout. No middleman. Easy fiat on/off ramps. Move stablecoins to USD and back without the pain. Built for agentic commerce. Manage per-agent sub-wallets for agentic workflows. Encrypted by default. Protecting you from bad actors and surveillance capitalism. 🔥Early traction Signed our first major LOI with @Trustboop (founded by Justice Laub of Drone Racing League and Rob Rhinehart of Soylent). Onboarding our first enterprise customer in ecommerce packaging and marketing, doing about $1.5M/month in volume. They've connected us to 10 more companies in the same vertical at similar volume, roughly a $100M/yr GMV opportunity. 🔥Why us Josh and Manuel led the creation of MobileCoin, the cryptocurrency in Signal Messenger: $100M+ raised, $1.16B peak valuation, $4B+ peak coin market cap, acquired in 2026. They understand what it takes to build a cryptographic business. Michael runs product and design. He's an internationally exhibited artist with two published art books, and he builds beautiful products. Manuel runs operations and orchestrates systems that actually work at scale. 🔥Asks Intros to businesses moving $1M+/month in payments, especially cross-border, ecommerce, and DTC, who want lower fees and more control over their funds. Strategic partners in fintech and payments interested in integrating our infrastructure. Tell us what's broken. Reply here or email founders@fire.co. We're looking for our first 100 customers. If that's you or someone you know, we'd love to talk.
