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 — 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 — it can’t read a word.
Self-custodial, wallet-to-wallet money
Funds move straight from your keys to theirs — 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, phone number, or KYC to use the app.
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.
