Description
Roll is a financial operating system for social tokens. It provides infrastructure and APIs that allow online communities to create and integrate social tokens into both financial systems and social platforms.\n\nOur mission is to upgrade human economic connection across the internet. \n\nSocial tokens create units of value for your community that exist independent of the platforms you are currently using. Roll provides the tooling to grow markets for social tokens in the DeFi space while connecting each social token to the traditional social and fintech platforms we use everyday. \n\nRoll is designed for anyone with a loyal following that wants to interact with their community across the web.\n\nWe recently raised a $10M Series A led by IOSG Ventures [1] and have raised from other luminaries across the blockchain space. Roll is growing rapidly and actively hiring. You can get in touch through our AngelList job opportunities or shoot us an email anytime at hi@tryroll.com\n\n[1] https://decrypt.co/82080/roll-raises-10m-expand-social-tokens-service-creators
