THE GAP
iMessage + WhatsApp are the world's largest unbanked network.
3.3 billion people message every day — with no way to send, earn, or grow money without leaving the app.
THE PROBLEM
Sending money home is still broken.

SHOULD BE
a text.
HOW IT WORKS
One agent. Four jobs.
Send · Earn · Trade · Save. Cross-border send is the front door — once your money's in, Basemate does the other three.
Send money home in a text
Money to anyone with a phone number, across any border. Text “send $200 to Mum” and it moves in seconds.
Idle USDC earns ~5% automatically
Tell Basemate to earn and it finds the best onchain rate on Base — Moonwell, Morpho, or Aave — in one message.
Swap in a text. Trade in Base App
Spot swaps on Uniswap and Aerodrome from the chat. Perps and full trading live in Base App.
USDC as your base currency
Stable, dollar-denominated money that stays in your agent wallet — ready to send, earn, or trade.
THE MOAT
Built on the rails remittances actually run on.
Every incumbent makes the recipient do the work. We flipped it. The sender uses iMessage. The receiver uses WhatsApp. Nobody installs anything.
The sender side — iMessage
Where the money comes from. 1.3B users across the US, EU, and Gulf — the world's remittance senders.
The receiver side — WhatsApp
Where the money goes. Dominant in the Philippines, India, Mexico, Nigeria, and Brazil.
The unlock
Zero apps, zero accounts, zero crypto knowledge. A text arrives. The money's there.
