We get the world’s best developers building on the world’s leading chains ⛓️ EasyA founders are backed by a16z, YC and more 🚀 App of the Day 🏆 1M+ users 📲
The EasyA ecosystem recently surpassed a massive $4 billion valuation.
Our founders @kwok_phil and @dom_kwok sat down at the New York Stock Exchange to share how they're bringing the whole world into crypto at breakneck speed.
i see lots of early-stage founders looking for shortcuts to success.
the most common is running ads.
“if we run ads we’ll get customers”
“if we pay for ads we’ll make revenue”
don’t fall into that trap.
it never works.
there are no shortcuts.
the only way to win is to hustle harder.
when it happens.
it will happen in a flash.
but those of us who are here now.
will remember what it took to get there.
the blood. the sweat. the grind.
EasyA developers have built multi-billion dollar companies over the past few years.
And now, we’re going to supercharge their abilities even further with our own AI tools.
Our co-founders @kwok_phil and @dom_kwok gave a sneak peak at what we’re building to accelerate the future even faster @waibsummit.
from over 1 million users on @easya_app to accelerating the future of crypto and ai with @easya_labs ��
our co-founders @kwok_phil and @dom_kwok sit down to share what’s up and what’s coming in the world of EasyA 👀
"Every crypto company wants to talk about TPS, consensus mechanisms or cryptography. It goes straight over everyone's head.
What's brought people together for thousands of years?
Stories.
So that's how we teach crypto. We know the founders. We know why they built it. That's what people actually care about."
That's how @easya_app hit a million users.

"What's drawn people together for thousands of years is stories."
My full conversation with Phil & Dom, co-founders of EasyA - the Duolingo for blockchain, with over a million users learning crypto.
We covered what it's really like building a company with your brother, why they left promising careers in finance and law, their partnerships with Ripple, Solana and Sui, why crypto matters in a post-quantum AI world, and why every brand will need a face to survive.
