Hey PH community!! Thank you so much for taking a look at Doshi!. We’ve worked SUPER hard to get this product out here. Right now, the web3 is the wild wild west of the internet, making young and excitable people vulnerable to scams and mistakes. From lost seed phrases, to unethical tokens and projects, there is no shortage of pitfalls for beginners in this ecosystem. That said, younger generations are one of the most motivated demographics in web3, and I believe we owe them a space on it to learn, invest and play safely. We’ve worked very hard at Doshi to overcome the main issues when onboarding beginners into crypto, and we’re extremely proud to present to this wonderful community we owe so much to our product: The first web3 wallet for 13+. Some of our favourite features in Doshi are: * Create a real crypto wallet in minutes without seed phrases or weird password (while remaining non-custodial!) * Create real NFTs using AI and trade with your friends. * Learn in our academy and earn crypto and NFTs from up and coming digital artists. * Test your skills with Fantasy Trading and join competitions against your friends. Thank you so much for your support. Please give us your honest feedback to help us make Doshi better.

@jacobo_koenig2 does this wallet work with android or only ios? Great idea by the way

Fantasy trading is a huge feature, you can get a real taste of the market and experiment multiple investment strategies before risking your own money, plus learning all the how-to's while having fun.
Jaco Koenig
@daniel_truzman1 Thanks! Indeed, Fantasy Trading is one of my favourite things in Doshi!

Kasra Khosravi
You made wallets easy to understand and fun. congrats πŸŽ‰ I think in the upcoming holiday season, sharing crypto and NFT gifts with family should be very useful
Jaco Koenig
@kasra_khosravi Thank you so much!! That's the whole point. Glad you like the progress so far
Markus Sigel
Given the recent developments, how are you making sure funds are safe?
Jaco Koenig
@markus_sigel Great question Markus, we are fully non-custodial. We're also avoiding centralised DeFi solutions that might put users funds at risk inadvertently. The point is to avoid scams, and even common mistakes.
Markus Sigel
@jacobo_koenig2 I like this. One thing I never understood: If someone hacks my phone, could this person then access my funds. I do not think it is specific to you but to all mobile non-custodial wallets. Wondering how this could be made even more securely.
Jaco Koenig
@markus_sigel for our part, we have Face ID (and other biometrics) enabled in the app so that we check its you when doing sensitive actions like sending funds. It's still a concern in general though.
Ryan Hoover
Congrats on the launch. What makes Doshi more "gen z"?
Jaco Koenig
@rrhoover Thanks, and great question Ryan. It's the UX. If you ask GenZ-ers, they'll tell you that they are curious about web3, but there are 2 barriers to jumping in: 1) They find it way to confusing or they don't know where to start, and 2) They struggle to find a safe and comfortable workaround to the fact that exchanges require them to be over 18. Doshi is better for GenZ-ers because it functions as the training wheels for crypto. It's easier to onboard than pretty much any wallet out there because it doesn't require them to know anything in advance (like what is their private key and how to safeguard it), and it also allows them to jump right into learning, creating and exploring with features like fantasy trading, a learning academy, requesting crypto gifts from family in one click, and free NFT creation. There's so much more to say, but I'd love it if you just saw it for yourself. I'm proud of the experience that the team has created and I hope you'll like it too!

Mehak Mahajan
It's so fun and so easy to understand especially the learning academy, I absolutely loved that part. Great product!!
Jaco Koenig
@mehak_mahajan1 Thank you so much! We love the academy. I think there's still much to do there, but we're working on it every day!

This is exactly what the Crypto world needs to educate the next generation. Well done!

Megha Poojari
Curious to know what does Doshi (name) mean?! Congratulations on the launch!
Jaco Koenig
@megha_poojari It's a mistery!! Some people thinks it comes from "Dosh" (slang for money in the UK). Some people think Doshi is Satoshi Nakamoto's lost offspring πŸ«₯
Furkan Kâseoğlu
Doshi is the one of the few startups that I follow from beginning. They have made amazing progress. The idea itself is also brilliant. Congratulations!
Daniel Rose
@furkan_koseoglu thank you so much for your support Furkan. Much appreciated!

Nara Moripen
This is so cool, the app looks sick! I'll recommend this to my younger brother who is crypto-curious, he's gonna love it.
Jaco Koenig
@nara_moripen Thank you so much for your support! We would love to hear his comments once he's in 🦾

This sounds pretty cool! I’m a newbie on this crypto world, so your Fantasy Trading will certainly help people like me that are looking to get into the crypto market.
Jaco Koenig
@german_ucar Thank you. I agree, and we hope it really does help.
Ruperto Calatrava
This is a super interesting concept, great job. I have a couple of questions; if you are so kind to tell me more about the following: Question 0: is this the right channel to engage with you guys or do you have any social media or discord channel for example. 1. What is your target audience? Is it especially for kids (+13) or not necessarily? And why did you decide to go in this direction? 2. What is your business model? 3. Is there or will be a 'family' membership? (e.g., including parental control just to name one potential feature). 4. Are you already in the market? When can I start using it?!! 5. How can we help? What are you looking for? beta users, investment....? If I have more questions, I'd probably ask again, but this is all for now. Thanks in advance, and keep up the hard work. I love it already!
Jaco Koenig
@ruperto_calatrava We have a discord and intercom channels on both the website and app. Here's our Discord link: https://discord.gg/8NgrUsaw 1. We are open for everyone, but we mainly we want to allow people over 13 safe access to the ecosystem. They are one of the most motivated groups of people, but also one of the most underserved! 2. We're 100% free for the time being. We might opt in the future to gamify the experience and offer paid customisations and such, but don't want to close the doors to anyone by asking for payment of any kind at this point. 3. Yes!! Keep your eyes open. Coming soon! 4. Yes sir. Visit our site or app store links in this page. 5. Feedback of any kind is massively helpful!! Thank you so much for your insightful questions.
