Tribes (Tribes Protocol, Inc.) is a web3-native social wallet and messaging application that lets people co-own and manage digital assets together while communicating directly from within the wallet itself. Its "co-wallets" combine group messaging and shared custody so crypto communities, creators, and DAOs can coordinate and make decisions without relying on external tools like Discord or Twitter. Founded by former Coinbase engineer Hish Bouabdallah, Tribes raised a $3.3M pre-seed round in January 2023 led by Kindred Ventures, with South Park Commons and Script Capital. It is a consumer crypto product; its public code surface is the tribes-protocol GitHub organization (smart-contract libraries and tooling) rather than a hosted REST/GraphQL developer API.
