"Joining Altitude Networks with CoinList was based on the explosive growth CoinList is facing with their existing offerings and the need to supercharge the next phase with security critical capabilities, an area where we're experts at Altitude," Coates told Insider. CoinList said the number of its users has multiplied by 27 times in the past year. "With Michael and Amir, we can expand our existing wallet and custody services and dramatically improve our ability to support the newest networks," Jenkin said. Beyond pumping up security for trading of digital goods and currency and digital wallets, Coates said his work at CoinList will take into account things like "lending, staking and governance," all of which are becoming a bigger part of digital assets. Security breaches have been a major pitfall of Web3, with thefts and scams occurring regularly. For Coates, one of the most overlooked challenges in Web3 is the "entirety" of an operation's security controls, including more traditional internet functions that Web3 companies still often use. Companies like CoinList need "rock solid Web2 security with applicable and diligent processes across the entire tech stack," he added. He's one of many high-level internet executives to join a company focused on or building Web3, a catchall term for decentralized digital goods and platforms like blockchain, cryptocurrencies and NFTs. Executives and developers alike are leaving older, more established tech companies like Facebook, Amazon and Google for the new challenge of Web3, as well as the chance to get in early on what could be the next trillion-dollar company.
