Abra is a next generation digital wallet that, through modern blockchain technology, allows users to invest in, store, deposit, and withdraw cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies without the technical complications. Led by CEO Bill Barhydt, Abra gives users the freedom to invest in over 30 cryptocurrencies and 50 fiat currencies. Its users hold the keys to their funds and have complete control over their money. Inherently, Abra is more secure than most cryptocurrency exchanges since users are the only ones who can access their recovery phrase. Abra never has access to a user's recovery phrase. Its app is available on iOS smartphones and Android devices.

A limited number of sponsorships are still available. More information can be found here.
