Tally Ho Tackles ETHDenver

Matthew Luongo -

What's Tally Ho?

👉 Tally Ho is the first Web3 wallet that's owned by its users. It's 100% open source and designed so all profits flow directly to the community.

We asked ourselves, "why not build on MetaMask?"  

In August 2020, MetaMask abandoned free and open-source software shortly before raising $65 million from JP Morgan and others. Web3 deserves a wallet with Web3 values. That’s why we’re building Tally Ho. (Take a deeper look at how Tally Ho and MetaMask stack up here.)

Today, our developers and our community members are working relentlessly to finish fine-tuning the code as we prepare for the DAO launch. We’re also rapidly expanding our community (currently at 10,000 Discord members), hosting weekly community calls (averaging 400-600 attendees!), and laying the foundation for our DAO launch.

Here’s a quick recap of the Tally Ho timeline:

Who are we sniffing out at ETHDenver?

The Tally Ho hounds are stoked to play with everyone and anyone at the ETHDenver dog park. We’re especially keen on exchanging bones with:

  • Developers - Both seasoned dApp teams and developers new to Web3. We're interested to chat with anyone who wants to add Tally Ho support to their dApp and join us in reimagining the Web3 wallet from the ground up.
  • New FOSS projects we can support! - We recently became the very first sponsor of the ethers.js library and are always on the lookout for new projects to support.
  • The thousands of our Discord doggos - Who will also be together on the IRL hunting grounds in Denver.
  • Designers, artists, users, and dreamers - Anyone who can help us reimagine what public goods wallet can be.

How we’re supporting ETHDenver

We’re proud to be the headline sponsors of BUIDLWeek and a Cypher Sponsor of the Main Event.

Although this is Tally Ho’s first ETHDenver, many of our team has been to the main event and participated in BUIDLWeek in years past. ETHDenver is a starting point for many in their Ethereum journey and is also an ecosystem reunion where remote teams come together on-site and explore what we can build when we come together.

Here’s where you can find us:

  • BUIDLWeek Panels - As the headline sponsor for BUIDLWeek, we're partnering with ETHDenver to host some awesome panels + firesides with some of the biggest names in Web3 (plus Happy Hours after!)
