Brookwell just came out out of stealth. It's a flagship app on Seismic, founded by Ravi & Rohan, entrepreneurs who've built businesses generating millions in revenue. Now they're creating an account that lets you pay through legacy rails while earning DeFi yield.

Why are fintechs integrating crypto? They may want to: 1. Launch in new markets. 2. Support international payments. 3. Hold deposits. 4. Accept alternative payment methods. 5. Bootstrap liquidity.

This wouldn't have been possible without the incredible work of the Reth team. Seismic Reth is a fork of Reth – surprise! Our implementation can be found here: https://t.co/Vvj0pmAcwi

Seismic Reth is a blockchain execution client with native privacy. It's complete with private storage, encrypted transactions, and TEE integration. Today, we're open-sourcing the code.
