USV participated in a seed financing of Code, which is building a global payments app on the Solana blockchain. Code [announced the financing today on their blog](https://getcode.com/blog/seed-round).

You can see a nice visualization of the Code payments experience [here](https://getcode.com/) and you can download the Code app [here](https://getcode.com/#download-1).

The Code team is the same team that USV invested in back in 2011 when they were working on the Kik messenger app and I wrote a bit about their journey from messenger to crypto to payments [here](https://avc.xyz/from-kik-to-kin-to-code).

We are big believers in the potential of payments applications built on web3 rails and we are also excited to work with this team again.
