According to local news outlet FinanceFWD, German entrepreneur Bastian Lehmann is making his foray into the cryptocurrency industry with the creation of a new startup called “TipTop Labs.” Although the details surrounding the company are unknown, its website states that the firm intends to offer “consumer financing solutions for an emerging web.”
On your career page, It appears that TipTop Labs is hiring a blockchain engineer whose primary responsibilities include “Building protocol components that integrate across different blockchain systems,” and “leading the design and architecture of the core protocols and tokens.” The company has been registered in the State of Delaware since February. On Lehmann’s Linkedin page, he claims that he is the current founder of a “stealth startup.”
Lehmann founded the food delivery giant Postmates in 2011. In December 2020, Uber acquired Postmates for $2.65 billion in an all-stock deal. By then, Postmates had grown to cover 80% of US households, with more than 600,000 restaurants listed on its platform for delivery and takeout.
Cointelegraph previously reported that Chinese food delivery giant Meituan Dianping is joining the country’s central bank’s digital currency efforts. Around the world, Grubhub is allowing its users to earn Bitcoin (BTC) rewards as part of its partnership with Lolli. Meanwhile, the city of Liverpool has taken an interest in a blockchain-powered food delivery platform built on top of the Fuse blockchain.
At this time, it is unclear whether Lehman’s Tiptop Labs plans to integrate payments or cryptocurrency solutions into the Postmates platform or is an independent blockchain-related company.
