The product
Send crypto and message anyone. No wallet required to receive.
Aphanite is the easiest way to send and receive crypto and message anyone, even someone who's never used crypto. Send money and start a private, end-to-end encrypted conversation with a link; there's no wallet, app, or bank required to receive it. Recipients get a self-custodial account created for them invisibly, every message is sealed on your device (X3DH + Double Ratchet), and no bank, exchange, or Aphanite sits in the flow of funds.
What you get
Send crypto to anyone, with no wallet needed to receive
Send money and a message as a link. The recipient opens it in any browser (no wallet, no app to install, no bank) and a self-custodial account is created for them invisibly, keys held only on their device.
End-to-end encrypted messaging
Every message is sealed on your device with the Signal protocol (X3DH + Double Ratchet). Aphanite only ever handles ciphertext content and can’t read a word.
Self-custodial, wallet-to-wallet money
Funds move straight from your keys to theirs, with no exchange or bank in the middle and no one who can freeze your on-chain funds. Sign in with a wallet or a link; no email or phone number needed.
Verifiable, not just promised
The name-to-key directory is an append-only log anchored on Ethereum and verified in your browser. The relay is open source and independently audited.
