We’re excited to announce that we’re leading Senpi’s $4 million seed round. Senpi is an AI-powered wallet designed to meet the scale and complexities of crypto today.

Crypto’s user gateway – the wallet – remains stuck in the past. Most wallets today are still little more than basic key managers, leaving users to navigate the complexities of onchain finance without proactive support. They offer little to no strategic guidance around trading and portfolio management, and few protections against scams that result in billions of stolen funds annually. User comprehension and protection is more paramount than ever for our industry.

Meanwhile, volumes are increasing and the surface area of onchain finance keeps expanding and fragmenting: dozens of L1s and L2s, countless new tokens, standalone DEXs, yield strategies, points programs, etc. all vying for attention. Each addition to this growing onchain labyrinth adds new decisions: which chain, which token, which venue, what reward, what risk? Add 24/7 token trading and reflexive reward programs that update continually, and the cognitive burden quickly overwhelms even sophisticated traders. Opportunity now outpaces human bandwidth, and without automation, most users can’t track or capture them, nor do proper due diligence before making decisions.

The time is ripe for a smart wallet experience that can scale with the market and its complexity.

Senpi reframes the wallet as an AI copilot that “thinks, trades, and protects” on behalf of its users. Available on iOS, Android, and web, the wallet weaves AI throughout the experience: automated copy trading allows users to easily copy the best traders with only a few clicks. While chat-based features and intelligent recommendations bring down the entry barrier for setting up and executing complex trading strategies that were previously only done by professionals. The market for trading and speculation is facing a major UX overhaul.

Depending on the content of the page, Senpi provides relevant prompts to the user – a kind of “choice architecture” to nudge users toward better decisions.

In just four months post-launch on Base, Senpi processed 300,000+ autonomous trades with a 75% trader retention rate and a 45% win rate – triple typical exchange benchmarks. Over 200 early users already crossed 1,000%+ gains. 

On top of this, Senpi’s offers an open-source Skills platform that lets third-party developers build and plug their own strategies into Senpi. Anyone can write their own plugins and publish it on the Skills Marketplace. This creates a unique flywheel effect other wallets lack – all skills drive onchain transactions, more users attract more third-party integrations, and a growing Skills ecosystem makes it harder for other wallets to compete.

Senpi was spun out from Airstack, a pioneering AI-powered developer platform built upon a decentralized data network that made onchain data more browsable, discoverable, and consumable. This experience itself gives the Senpi team a head start in building an industry-leading AI wallet.

The team is led by CEO Jason Goldberg, CTO Sarvesh Jain, and COO Ignas Peciura. Early innovators in the crypto space since 2016, they also built the Moxie protocol (decentralized creator economy on Farcaster), OpenST, Hem (acquired), Fab (unicorn), and Social Median (social newsfeed, acquired). 

Jason has proven himself to not only be a world-class builder, but also having a knack for design. He previously won both the Webby Award and TechCrunch’s Crunchi Award for best website UX and best mobile app.

Senpi will continue expanding its intelligence, memory, and strategies. As Senpi further expands across chains, strategies, and markets, the Senpi token will launch to fuel transactions across the platform. In the future, as tokenization expands categorically, the Senpi token is designed to serve as the clearing layer for agent-to-agent coordination – powering portfolio optimization, trading, and commerce across assets, platforms, and chains.
