Meemaw – Trustless and grandma-friendly wallet as a service
Hey HN, Marceau here, founder of Meemaw. I was working on a different project (communities with better aligned incentives) for which I needed users to have access to a crypto wallet. I couldn't afford users to have to deal with private keys and what not, and I did not feel comfortable being locked to a non-transparent third-party provider for something as important. So I built an internal "wallet-as-a-service" around audited librairies. I dropped the original project since then and that service evolved into Meemaw. Many "web3 projects" would be better off without any web3 component. But if…
In plain words
Meemaw is a wallet-as-a-service platform that allows applications to provide cryptocurrency wallet functionality to users without requiring them to manage private keys or seed phrases. Built on audited libraries using multiparty computation for security, it offers customizable user experience and straightforward developer integration. The service is designed for projects that need wallet capabilities but want to avoid complex cryptographic management and reliance on non-transparent third-party providers.

Hey HN, Marceau here, founder of Meemaw. I was working on a different project (communities with better aligned incentives) for which I needed users to have access to a crypto wallet.

So I built an internal "wallet-as-a-service" around audited librairies. I dropped the original project since then and that service evolved into Meemaw. Many "web3 projects" would be better off without any web3 component. But if you do need your users to have a wallet, there are a few good reasons to use something like Meemaw: - great UX (no faffing around with private keys or seed phrases, easily customisable) - great DX (get up and running quickly, integrate with your existing system easily) - more secure (MPC, trustless) - low dependency risk (you've always got the option to self-host or export existing wallets) If you'd like a refresher on MPC wallets or Wallet-as-a-Service, I did my best to explain it without BS industry jargon: https://getmeemaw.com/blog/mpc-wallet If you have Docker and Node installed on your machine, you can have a full example running in less than 5 minutes: https://getmeemaw.com/docs/getting-started You can already self-host Meemaw, and there will soon be cloud hosting as well, with the option to easily switch from one to the other at any time. The closed-source competitors are all (very) well-funded, but I think we can provide a better developer experience with higher security and reduced dependency risks. Right now, Meemaw is probably not ready for production, but we'll get there sooner rather than later. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated to continue moving in the right direction :)

Hey we are Computable. We spent years building trading infrastructure at Jump Trading and Coinbase. From that point of view, compute looks like energy markets before 2000: everything trades through private bilateral leases, there’s no visible price, and nothing can be resold. The same H100 rents at a 2x spread depending on who’s asking, and once you sign a 24-month lease, it can never change hands. So we built a market for GPU nodes, sold by the calendar week. Here are three things you can do on it that you can’t do anywhere else: - Buy exactly the weeks you need. Three nodes for the last…
