The Team
Founded in 2020, Synonym is building the world’s first digital free-market society, including any necessary R&D required to deliver “The Atomic Economy.” The Atomic Economy is a civic-engineering initiative to replace traditional institutions with open protocols and products that empower individuals.
Our current products include Pubky (self-sovereign identity & open social graph), Pubky Ring (Pubky keychain & auth), Bitkit (Bitcoin & Lightning wallet), and Blocktank (Lightning Service Provider). Each product demonstrates building blocks for a new society. It is our mission to prove a complete, interoperable alternative to today’s centralized systems, rooted in digital autonomy, and open-source technology.
Synonym is an entirely remote team working to bring new integrated products to open source protocols and cutting-edge peer-to-peer technology.
