Shared Ethos between Giddy and THORChain
Giddy shares the values of self-custody with THORChain and the Nine Realms team. Self-custody is one of the core value propositions of Bitcoin and Ethereum — centralized custodians don’t cut it. THORChain enables Giddy users to be able to trade Bitcoin for Ethereum or Stablecoins without having to rely on a central intermediary.

What’s so special about Giddy?
Giddy is crypto and DeFi made easy. Seed phrases are made recoverable with Giddy Multi-Identity Authentication, network gas requirements are made painless with Giddy Auto Gas, and DeFi staking is easier than ever with One-Tap Staking technology. Giddy’s goal is to democratize finance and make it easy and safe for anyone to start earning on the blockchain.
Giddy users can currently hold and trade crypto assets on the Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum networks, as well as earn with DeFi on Ethereum and Polygon. Built-in fiat on and off ramps make funding your wallet and cashing out simple, and you can even shop at major retailers using crypto right in the app.
With Giddy you get frictionless web2-style login and recovery, without having to sacrifice security or self-custody.
Where did Giddy come from?
Giddy was founded by a small team of developers and is led by Eric Parker.
Eric started his crypto journey many years ago trading Bitcoin, mining Ethereum, and as the industry continued to develop, exploring the rapidly expanding world of DeFi. As crypto gained more mainstream popularity the calls from crypto-curious friends and family seeking help to get tokens out of staking contracts, or recover lost wallets, started coming more and more frequently. It quickly became clear that we didn’t just need more accessible crypto wallets, but a more streamlined way for new users to be able to safely get involved with DeFi.
Fast forward a few years and Eric, joined by a crew of incredibly talented co-founders, secure their first round of $8M in seed funding for the Giddy app. With a commitment to democratizing finance and making everything web3 has to offer made more easily accessible, Eric and the team continue to drive Giddy Wallet’s mission forward with each new update to the ever expanding Giddy mobile wallet.
