Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Privy sells developer infrastructure for creating and operating crypto wallets and moving digital assets inside third-party applications. Its core offering is a set of SDKs and APIs that let a web or mobile product spin up embedded wallets, authenticate users, sign transactions and connect to onchain systems without requiring end users to install a separate wallet, manage seed phrases or handle gas (sources 4, 6).

The product line spans user wallets, wallets for autonomous agents, key management, a policy engine for programmable rules and transfer controls, roles and permissions, funding (fiat and digital asset on/off ramps and bridging), card programs linked to wallet balances, treasury management and onchain yield integrations. Authentication supports email, SMS, socials, passkeys and JWT-based integration with providers such as Auth0 and Firebase, and wallet connectors cover EVM and Solana chains. SDKs are published for web, mobile and gaming, including Node, Go, Ruby, Rust, iOS and Unity, alongside example repositories and an open-source Shamir's Secret Sharing implementation (sources 0, 2, 3).

Privy markets solutions by vertical: institutions (banking, asset management), fintechs (payments, neobanks, payroll, remittances), trading (DeFi, exchanges, prediction markets), consumer applications (gaming, social and creator platforms, marketplaces) and AI/agentic systems (sources 0, 1).
