Web3 developer platform
thirdweb is a web3 development platform that provides tools for building decentralized applications, deploying smart contracts, and integrating blockchain functionality into software products.1 It was co-founded in 2021 by Furqan Rydhan—who also founded Founders, Inc. (f.inc) and was AppLovin's founding CTO—alongside Steven Bartlett and Jake Loo.26
thirdweb offers a suite of developer tools including pre-built smart contracts, SDKs for multiple programming languages, wallet infrastructure, and payment processing for on-chain transactions.1 The platform supports multiple blockchains including Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, and over 2,000 EVM-compatible chains.1 Developers can deploy smart contracts for NFTs, tokens, marketplaces, and governance without writing Solidity from scratch.1
thirdweb raised a $5 million seed round in 2021.2 In August 2022, the company closed a $24 million Series A at a $160 million valuation, led by Haun Ventures with participation from Shopify, Coinbase Ventures, and Protocol Labs.34 Total funding stands at $29 million.2
Furqan Rydhan serves as CEO.2 He was previously the founding CTO of AppLovin, which grew to a market capitalization exceeding $100 billion.2 Steven Bartlett, co-founder and board member, is a British entrepreneur known as the host of the podcast The Diary of a CEO and as a former investor on the BBC television series Dragons' Den.6 Jake Loo serves as CTO and previously worked as a senior engineer at Coinbase.5
thirdweb's tools have been integrated by tens of thousands of developers building web3 applications.1 The platform processes contract deployments and transactions across its supported chains, providing analytics and infrastructure management through a dashboard interface.1
