Wouldn't it be great if you didn't need extensive explanations to understand a crypto project fully?&#x20;

Well, today is your lucky day.&#x20;

**Why SELF?**&#x20;

Cryptocurrencies and blockchains are growing in adoption; utilities are infinite, but the barrier that continues to separate them from the general public is the first step we must take to use them: transactions. Complex and endless addresses change based on the network, and ways of communicating project objectives are far from simple to understand where new users of crypto cannot relate ideas to real-world experiences. SELF is here to solve this.&#x20;
