Crypto often feels like everyone's speaking a different language and you weren't invited into the group chat. It's no surprise to us that almost 40% of people take one look at crypto and go "no thanks, I'm good" (Swyftx Survey, 2024).
Lance Morginn, president of Blockchain Intelligence Group, explains:
“On first impressions, it can appear too technical and irrelevant to traditional money. Words such as blockchain, tokens and technology can lead to a sense of intimidation, discouraging people from checking crypto out.”
When crypto is complicated, most people give up. We built Bankr to make crypto simple and accessible for everyone.
Here's what's actually happening: 28% of people want to get into crypto but can't figure it out (CryptoLiteracy.org). In the UK, it's even worse. 30% of adults took one look at crypto and said 'absolutely not' (FCA, 2023).
Good news though...Bankr isn't alone in recognizing the need for simplification. Ethereum’s founder Vitalik Buterin emphasized the need for more intuitive design when he stated:
“If we want crypto to be something that a billion people use, we need to make wallets and applications much more intuitive and much more user-friendly.” (DevCon Keynote)
That's literally our whole vibe. Making crypto so clean, everyone can use it.
Bankr removes all the complexity, sprinkles in some friendly vibes and makes crypto simple and enjoyable. No more juggling exchanges, wallets, and seed phrases. Just tell Bankr what you want.
That's it. Boom. Done. Bankr handles everything. Trading, checking your balance, moving crypto between chains... it all works the same way.
So yes, Bankr is super simple, but what really makes this all feel so easy is that Bankr already lives in your social feed. Tag @bankrbot on X/Twitter or @bankr Farcaster or connect through your personal Bankr Terminal (bankr.bot). No new apps to download, no new passwords to remember. Just hit Bankr up wherever you're already scrolling.
Whether you just learned what ETH stands for or you've been hodling since 2017, Bankr's got your back. Complete beginners love it because Bankr is always there to hold your hand and answer all your questions. Advanced traders love it because it's a full on trading app that is fast, secure and ensures you have full control over funds at all times. Win-win for everyone and we are just getting started.
Bankr started on Farcaster which is full of people experimenting, building and shipping real products weekly or even daily. That culture of collaboration, feedback, and transparency shaped a lot about how Bankr was developed. Bankr was and continues to be built alongside our community, regularly turning community input into new features people actually want, need and use.
Did you know that a community member used @bankrbot to deploy a token through Clanker. They called it $BNKR. Plot twist? Our team had no idea it was happening. Most teams would've panicked. We said "this is our token now." This is what it looks like when you truly build with your community, not just for them.
Because Bankr isn't just about making crypto simple; it's about exploring what's possible when AI, social, and crypto collide in the wildest ways.
We don’t believe in staying stuck in one lane. Our $BNKR token lives on Base (shoutout to Coinbase’s speedy Layer-2). We’re cross-chain by design—supporting Polygon, Ethereum Mainnet, and Solana too. Whether you’re swapping, sending, or building, we make sure you’re not limited to one ecosystem.
Why? Because crypto isn’t just one network anymore. We want you to move seamlessly, skip the crazy fees, and access everything the multi-chain world has to offer. So go ahead—explore, build, and connect, wherever your wallet takes you. Bankr’s there.
So that's Bankr. That's why we built it. That's why we brought together a team who genuinely believes crypto should be for everyone.
We made something different. Something that just works. Something our friends actually use, and hopefully something you and your friends will love too.
If you've been with us from the beginning, thank you. If you're new, welcome.
Give it a shot. Send a transaction. See what crypto feels like when it's not trying to be complicated.
