Born in 2001 in Argentina just as the country began to experience a devastating economic crisis, Amanu founder Gianluca Minoprio saw firsthand how traditional banking systems can fail their users. This experience shaped his mission to create a new type of crypto wallet, one that aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and blockchain technology.
Fresh off multiple wins at the Consensus 2024 hackathon in Texas last May, Amanu is now challenging conventional notions of what a crypto wallet should be (if you’d like to apply for the EasyA Hackathon at Consensus Hong Kong 2025, please go here). The startup is developing a suite of features that extend far beyond traditional wallet functionality: users will soon be able to send crypto payments through their keyboard via any messaging app, make contactless transfers via ultrasound technology and manage transactions without dealing with gas fees or having to choose a blockchain.
