Background of the Investment

Reown provides an on-chain UX platform designed to revolutionize the Web3 user experience. Formerly known as WalletConnect Inc., the company has built on its track record of setting the industry standard for wallet connectivity, developing the underlying technology for the future of the decentralized Internet, and providing intuitive interfaces and tools that enable developers to more smoothly leverage blockchain.

Reown is one of the leading companies in the two most important areas of Web3 adoption, “Wallet” and “Payments”, and we saw great potential in their technology and vision, which led us to invest. Through this investment, Pacific Meta will actively support Reown’s entry into the Japanese market and connection with domestic developers, and contribute to further development of the Web3 ecosystem.

We’re very proud to have Pacific Meta join Reown’s Series B round. Pacific Meta’s belief in the importance of onchain UX and developer tools is a testament to their commitment to blockchain adoption. Reown and Pacific Meta will continue to collaborate and ensure that crypto is usable and accessible for everyone.

Reown’s predecessor, WalletConnect, has become so widespread that it’s now impossible to overlook its name when connecting a wallet. This achievement was only possible because the team excels at balancing the core philosophy of Web3 with a user and developer experience that is both seamless and valuable. Shopify Ventures is also part of this round, and I’m looking forward to seeing Onchain technology continue to expand into markets that were once referred to as Web2.
