About Trust Machines

While other blockchains have evolved to become programmable platforms for applications, Bitcoin remains the only truly decentralized platform for trust. Trust Machines therefore saw it as the best choice for a final settlement layer for transactions.

They envisioned expanding the capabilities of Bitcoin beyond just being a store of value to also serving as the foundation for a computational platform for a new economy of applications.

The Situation

Trust Machines needed a minimal viable product (MVP) to show investors so they came to Dakai to help build something that hadn’t been done before. Trust Machines sought a wallet that generated new wallets as well as importing existing ones.

With a tight turnaround and the reputation of the fledgling company at stake, Dakai stepped in and helped design and architect the application from start to finish.

The Results

Dakai delivered to Trust Machines the MVP they needed to grow. They finally had a mobile app for Bitcoin wallets that allowed users to create new wallets and import existing wallets to transfer money into them. Using React Native, Dakai integrated Electrum, an open source Bitcoin wallet helper, into the application.

As a testament to the extensibility and quality of the code, Trust Machines was able to reuse Dakai’s technology in various places across their stack.

Looking Ahead

Dakai ensured a seamless handoff by helping El Salvador hire a team of engineers to maintain the code. They did multiple rounds of interviews to build out the right team for the project.

With millions of users and a smooth user experience, Dakai helped repair trust with the population and drive Bitcoin adoption.
