Taylor Monahan: From Side Project to Center Stage – The Story of MyEtherWallet & MyCrypto

Episode Summary

Taylor Monahan, CEO of MyCrypto, discusses her history in the crypto-space, why she created MyEtherWallet, and what life was like running one of the most popular tools for cryptocurrency in 2017.

Episode Notes

Many people find that the crypto-finance space is quite difficult for non-technical people to understand and interact with the technologies. Some projects and people have made tremendous progress in creating tools and interfaces that allow a broader audience to participate, speculate, and learn.

Taylor Monahan started MyEtherWallet as a side project in 2015, only for it to grow into one of the significant pieces of software people used to participate in the 2017 ICO boom. She has since "design-forked" the codebase and created MyCrypto, an open-source tool for generating ether wallets, handling ERC-20 tokens, and interacting with the blockchain with a clean and intuitive design.
