Netki Gains 100,000 Users in Three Months

Integrations with Purse.io, Gem, ChangeTip, Holy Transaction and others has allowed Netki to rapidly gain market adoption of it’s Wallet Name Service standard.
Netki’s Wallet Name Service allows users to share an easy to remember name, like “justinwnewton.tip.me” instead of a complicated, difficult to remember wallet address like “1P5faasXEt4BVgMaQjVo6TmvFXdGgZ8FF9”. Additionally, with HD Wallets (BIP 0032) and Payment Requests (BIP 0070) already integrated into their initial product, Netki further enhances privacy and security beyond the current practice of sharing your wallet address directly.
“Our partners and others in the ecosystem have built really great products for their users. Our Wallet Name Service makes it easy for users to connect all of these services together.” said Justin Newton, Netki CEO.
Based on open source software and standards, Netki provides developers with libraries and APIs that make it easy for companies to quickly integrate Wallet Names into their own applications.
