# Verbwire

> Verbwire was a Web3 infrastructure company that collapsed the entire smart-contract stack into a single REST API. Founded by two former Wall Street quants, it let developers in any language - Python, Java, JavaScript, C++ - deploy contracts, mint NFTs, manage wallets, store files on IPFS and query on-chain data without ever touching Solidity or Hardhat. With 60+ endpoints across 10+ EVM blockchains, it served tens of thousands of developers and processed millions of API calls before the founders wound it down, noting that AI had begun to close the very complexity gap they were built to bridge.

- **Founded:** 2022
