# Ready > The onchain alternative to your bank Ready is a self-custody digital asset company offering a mobile app, card, and wallet built on Starknet. It serves everyday users and crypto natives who want to hold, spend, and earn on their own tokens without giving up control of their keys. Ready is a self-custody digital asset company that provides a mobile app, a linked payment card, and a dedicated wallet for managing cryptocurrency. It is designed for people who want to hold, spend, and grow their digital assets without relying on a bank or handing custody of their funds to a third party. The company targets both everyday consumers looking for a bank alternative and crypto natives who want deeper access to decentralized finance features. Its products are built on a rollup network that scales an existing base blockchain, using smart contract based accounts rather than traditional seed phrase wallets. This approach allows for features such as social recovery, spending controls, and security monitoring while keeping users in sole control of their assets. The company positions its offering as a practical alternative to conventional banking rails, with worldwide card spending and reward earning built into the app. The product lineup centers on Ready X, a wallet aimed at active decentralized finance participants, alongside a consumer app and payment card for general users. Both remain fully self-custodial and share the same underlying infrastructure and security model. The company was formerly known under a different brand name and completed a rebrand to its current name and product structure, with existing users and balances unaffected by the change. Ready is used by retail crypto holders, payment card users, and decentralized finance participants across its consumer and wallet product lines. - Type: Company - Sector: Custody and Wallets - Status: Active - Founded: 2017-02-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/ready ## Products - [Ready Wallet](https://thegrid.id/profiles/ready): Ready Wallet is a self-custodial smart wallet that lets users manage digital assets on Starknet.
