The write-up

A dollar should move like a message.

Read Introducing Talise

Talise exists because sending ten dollars is still harder than sending a photo. We built a wallet where it is not.

You hold real, dollar-backed stablecoins on Sui. You send them to a name like eromonsele@talise.sui, not a 0x address. The payment settles in under a second, the network fee is sponsored, and there is no seed phrase to write down and lose. Sign in the way you already sign in to everything else.

The details that make it usable took the most time: gasless on every transfer, yield of up to 8 percent on idle USDsui, cheque links, a private send you switch on rather than a promise we made for you, and a Nigeria bank cash-out that settles 1:1. Privacy is optional and honest. By default a payment is a normal on-chain transaction; the shielded pool is there when the amount is nobody else’s business.

Talise took 2nd place in DeFi & Payments at Sui Overflow 2026, with a $15,000 prize. As of 18 Sep 2026: 1,416 on-chain transactions, ~$9.5k ledger volume, ~49 transacting users (2,258 registered). The product in people’s hands is the point.

Send

Send to a name, not an address.
