At Molecule, we’re transforming scientific research through democratized research funding and tokenized intellectual property. Our platform, Catalyst, empowers individuals to directly back scientific research projects that resonate with them. We are thrilled to announce our integration with Privy, a step that amplifies accessibility and usability for our community. This integration furthers our mission that the future of science belongs to everyone by ensuring a seamless and inclusive user experience.

Privy: Accelerating Crypto Adoption Through Frictionless Onboarding 

The future of science funding belongs to everyone. With Privy’s embedded wallet, engaging with Catalyst is easy. This integration introduces a streamlined onboarding process, robust security, and universal authentication, catering to both crypto newcomers and seasoned users.

For those new to the crypto world, onboarding to Catalyst is straightforward—simply sign up using an email or social login. Behind the scenes, Privy sets up a fully self-custodial wallet, abstracting away some of the complexities of crypto while still allowing users to send and receive funds securely. For experienced users, Privy offers reliable wallet connectors that integrate seamlessly with existing wallet setups, eliminating unnecessary transitions; instead, you can focus on contributing to the research that resonates with you.

Security remains a top priority. Privy ensures that your private keys are exclusively yours and that no third party, including Privy, can access them. This commitment to self-custody means your assets are always under your control, providing peace of mind as you focus on advancing science.

But Privy doesn’t just stop at making things simple—it also makes them powerful. By enabling features like gas sponsorship and account abstraction, Privy allows users to engage with Catalyst even if they’ve never touched crypto before. This lowers the barriers to entry, ensuring that everyone can play a part in advancing scientific research.

Empowering a Broader Audience

Our integration with Privy is a significant step forward in making Catalyst a truly democratized platform where users can fund science regardless of crypto experience. We’re excited to see how this integration will help us onboard more users into the world of decentralized science.
