Fine-grained access control in web3

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're building a developer platform for web3 apps that handles login, role-based access control, and data storage. Our product lets developers add secure, fine-grained access control tailored to web3 environments, something existing tools lack.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan for the company to be based here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in San Francisco because it's the center of crypto and web3 innovation, and it gives us direct access to early customers and investors in this space.
