The Dapper team has done all of that and I am excited to watch what they do next. It is rare in the crypto sector to find a team that has successfully launched a blockchain, a wallet, and a number of popular applications.
#DAPPER WALLET UPDATE#
If youve watched any of my EDC update videos, then youve probably seen this wallet. The success of NBA Top Shot has led many developers to Flow seeking to build additional collectible experiences and I expect that we will see many more great games and experiences on Flow in the coming months and years. This is the Dango D01 Dapper wallet, and its not an ideal product. Pack drops sell out more or less instantly. Hundreds of millions of dollars of transactions a month happen between collectors on NBA Top Shot. Slowly but surely Dapper let more users into NBA Top Shot and iterated on the experience and by the end of the year, they had a hit on their hands. Ready to add Dapper to your project Its a cakewalk. Get a firsthand look at what your users will experience- the best gaming experience on the blockchain. Building all of that was quite a task but they got it all done by the middle of last year and launched NBA Top Shot into beta last summer. Learn more about how Dapper works and why its the wallet your users will love. And it required a crypto wallet experience that was tightly integrated into the game that allowed new users to fund their wallets with credit cards in addition to crypto assets.
#DAPPER WALLET FULL#
The full scope of services Dapper offers includes payment rails, wallet custodianship, fraud/risk mitigation, compliance, customer support, and. Dapper will continue onboarding new platforms via a queue until then, with a request form live here. That required a deal with the NBA which they made happen a few years ago. First, while Dapper is currently in Alpha, the team expects a broader Beta launch in May 2022. Flow is a proof of stake blockchain that was designed from the ground up for consumer experiences that require scale and performance and more.Īnd then they started building NBA Top Shot on Flow.

We are only seeing the entire vision now.Īfter building a few more collectible experiences on Ethereum, the Dapper Labs team concluded that the NFT experiences they wanted to create needed a different blockchain and they started building Flow. I wrote a short post on the USV blog announcing that we had invested in Cryptokitties, but in truth, we invested in much more. That got our attention and led to a financing that spun out the team and Cryptokitties into Dapper Labs.


They contributed to the ERC 721 standard for non-fungible tokens and started building an NFT collectible game that became Cryptokitties. The Axiom Zen team was looking at interesting things they could build using Ethereum. And this is a fascinating company.ĭapper Labs came out of an incubator called Axiom Zen back in 2017. But I am writing again as there is likely to be a bunch of chatter about Dapper, Flow, and NBA Top Shot as the news of a financing round comes out today.įinancings don’t really interest me but companies do. I have written about all of these things here at AVC before.
