After adding features like Git repos and file storage, keybase started their own currency called Stallar (XLM).

They airdropped XLM to Keybase users. About 2 billion IIRC. It resulted in bit accounts for obvious reasons, so they had to make many changes to their original plan.

I converted what I received into BTC, and it looks like XLM is still functional to this date though.

Keybase was a very well regarded app, but users lost a lot of trust with the cryptocurrency news.

Zoom bought Keybase, and we didn't really hear any big news from them lately.
