About

Theya is the world’s simplest Bitcoin self-custody app for users who find crypto exchanges risky and hardware wallets overwhelming. We are making the self-custody UX seamless with our multi-sig wallet that users can set up using smartphones, giving them the functionality and convenience of centralized exchanges without sacrificing control and security of hardware wallets. We aim to be the default consumer app for Bitcoin - offering products like accumulation, lending, investments and payments - all built on top of our intuitive self-custody platform.
