The company now has more than 250 customers including Trust Wallet, Coinfund, the Algorand foundation and the French Ledger.

She will use this new funding to further develop in Europe, with the opening of offices in Germany, and on the asian continent thanks to the help of several investors (Fenbushi and Kenetic) based in this region.
