Dear Backers,

First and foremost, a heartfelt thank you to each of you. Your generous contributions have propelled us to reach our 100% funding goal. It's a big milestone, and it's all thanks to your belief in our vision for a more secure and user-friendly web3 world.

The enthusiastic response from the web3 community has been astounding, and we're thrilled to see such active engagement this early on. We've received numerous technical inquiries from passionate users curious about the secure design behind Ryder One, as well as from sceptics who find it hard to believe that the experience of using a hardware wallet could be simplified.

Our mission is clear: we can't truly mainstream self-custody without revolutionizing the status quo into something everyone can grasp and use daily. However, we recognize that this vision raises important technical questions.

To address these queries head-on, we're excited to announce our first Q&A session with our CTO, Marvin. We will tackle your most pressing questions, including:

  • Why trust Shamir Secret Sharing, the algorithm that powers TapSafe Recovery over traditional seed phrases?
  • If I am uncomfortable using my social circle, what can I do instead?
  • Can my friend, holding a TapSafe social share, access my wallet?
  • Is there a risk of my friends colluding with their key shares to access my funds?
  • If I don't have trusted friends for social recovery, how can I control my secret key shares?

Mark your calendars for our Twitter/X space session next Tuesday at 1 p.m. CET. Confirm your attendance here and get ready for an engaging discussion.

We're also keen to hear from you - your feedback is invaluable. If you have thoughts on how we can improve or questions that need answers, please don't hesitate to reach out. Message us, or set up a call; we're all ears.

Together, let's pioneer a change in the world of hardware wallets!

Regards,
The Ryder Team
