the interesting thing about @UsePaid isn’t just the amount of fees flowing through it

it’s the fact that creator fees are turned into actual dollars and paid through @XMoney without the recipient needing to connect a wallet

now imagine being able to take that balance and send it to basically anyone with @Numpayapp

token fees → USD → real person
that’s a pretty clean flow imo.

Gonna be filing Numpay on Product hunt using the MCP.
Heard you loud and clear! 🫡

[Rajiv Ayyangar @rajivayyangar]

Product Hunt insider tip (I'm the CEO):

Launches submitted via MCP are 3 times more likely to be featured than manual launches.

Our MCP actually helps you create a better launch.

@homentheomen What's there on the doc that is confusing?

[Albert Jones @albjodan]

DID I ACTUALLY WORK AT PAYPAL?

Yes. And today I'm answering every question the community has asked, one by one.

**PayPal and the team**
From 2021 to 2025 I was a Senior Telecommunications Expert at PayPal. That's where I saw firsthand how slow, expensive and restrictive cross-border payments still are. I left to fix that, and Numpay is the result.

**Is this a relaunch?**
No. We've been building for about a year across several chains, which is why Solana and Base still show up in the app. We took part in the Solana and Near hackathons, but we never launched a token before $NUM, and you can verify that on-chain. We moved our whole infrastructure to Elysium. That's a migration, not a relaunch.

**Why Elysium?**
Elysium has 100ms blocks and near-instant receipts. That's 10x faster than HyperEVM's small blocks and 600x faster than its big blocks. In payments, speed is the product. Elysium also settles to Hyperliquid, the powerhouse of finance.

**Why not Solana?**
We built there first. But fast-rotating capital makes it hard to find long-term holders and build in public. On Elysium we found a community that backs real utility.

**Why x402?**
It's part of our long-term vision. x402 is an open standard that lets apps and AI agents pay each other over the web, and we want Numpay ready for that future. Today the focus is simple: send any currency, anywhere in the world, to a phone number or email.

**What if I send money to someone who isn't on Numpay?**
They get a link to claim it. They sign up with that phone number or email and the money is theirs, with no bank forms and no crypto knowledge needed. Every transfer to a new person brings in a new user.

**What's up with the linked wallets?**
Because we'd been building for so long, Numpay had attention before launch. To stop any single buyer from taking enough supply to wreck the chart, we acquired part of the supply ourselves. We disclosed this on Telegram, and we're repeating it here.

**Which wallets are selling?**
We work with a market maker to support volume. That volume is a big part of why Numpay is trending on Elysium and getting organic traction. Some of the selling is the market maker doing its job of providing liquidity on both sides.

We're building in the open. Keep the questions coming.

[Albert Jones @albjodan]

Tomorrow is going to be a big day for Numpay!

[Albert Jones @albjodan]

@dmistre97 Hey nope.
We were focusing on building the infra side and simply stopped posting.
There were a few vc's we were in talks with as well to find the right GTM strategy but decided to do a fair launch since we wanted to build in public.

[Albert Jones @albjodan]

What happens to payments when your agent is the one asking for the thing, not you?

"Book the flight." "Order it." "Get it done."

And it just happens.

Muse just opened its platform for developers to build agent connectors, so an agent can find any service and use it.

[Mark Zuckerberg @finkd]

Opening access for developers to build Muse connectors. You bring the API -- Muse brings the agent, the browser, and the context of what the person actually wants. People reach your service just by asking for it, and their agent takes it from there.

New connectors are live today. Come build with us. https://t.co/o6oTf1Sj9y

[Albert Jones @albjodan]

Yeah the Dapp has been live for a while now.
It has gone through various testing phases and had approximately 400-500 users before we launched our token.
There were a lot of people who had stress tested the Dapp.
These users we acquired by participating in such hackathons and events.

But we never had our token live.

[Albert Jones @albjodan]

@TheDucksRun @Numpayapp Any reason for calling this a scam?

[Albert Jones @albjodan]

That's completely a false narrative.
We have clarified in several chats and conversations that since we have been building for a while we have had Numpay work on multiple chains.
Therefore you see solana chain & base chain even now on the application.
We even filed for the solana and Near Hackathon but we had never launched a token.
You can verify this onchain.

@MCGlive @fomo @MetaDAOProject @Kinetiq_xyz @Enter_Elysium @AscendLaunch @CryptoTomYT @TeseraLab @met_lparmy When will you guys bring Numpay team @MCGlive

[Numpay @Numpayapp]

@timtim2078552 We have been building for more than a year now.
Initially we had planned to launch the product earlier and work on adoption.
But we pivoted to launching the token first and then launching the dapp.
We are launching the dapp in 24 hours from now.

[Albert Jones @albjodan]

@timtim2078552 Hey!
I don't understand where the hate comes from brother.
We have bundled the supply and it's disclosed in the tokenomics.

None the less we have a market making agency onboarded who are handling the chart.

Numpay on Elysium: We just completed our first full end-to-end payment test.

From depositing USDC to sending, receiving, requesting, and withdrawing funds, the entire payment flow is now working on Elysium testnet.

We wanted to prove that Numpay could deliver the same simple payment experience on Elysium without users needing to understand the blockchain infrastructure underneath.

Here's what we tested:

Adding funds: We deposited USDC from an external wallet into Numpay. Once the transaction was confirmed on Elysium, the balance updated automatically.

Sending money using an email: We sent USDC directly to an email address without needing the recipient's wallet address. The payment was processed successfully and appeared in transaction history.

Payments to people who haven't signed up: This is one of the most important parts of Numpay. We sent USDC to someone who didn't have an account yet. They signed up using their email and OTP, and the payment appeared in their account.

Requesting money: The recipient created a payment request, entered the amount, and added a message. We switched back to the sender's account, reviewed the request, approved it, and completed the payment.

Gasless withdrawals: We withdrew 0.55 USDC to an external Elysium address. The user didn't need HYPE to cover gas. Numpay sponsored the network fee through Pimlico.

Onchain verification: We opened the Elysium explorer and confirmed the withdrawal transaction. Transaction history also provides explorer links for tracking payments.

What's happening behind the scenes:

-vWeb3Auth handles phone and email authentication.
- Kernel v3.3 smart accounts manage onchain transactions.
- Pimlico provides the bundler and paymaster infrastructure for gas sponsorship.
- USDC moves on Elysium testnet, with transactions verifiable onchain.

The important part is that users don't have to interact with any of this infrastructure.

They can log in using an email or phone number, send money to someone who hasn't joined yet, request payments, and withdraw funds.

No seed phrases. No HYPE required. No complicated crypto setup.

This is the experience we're building toward: sending dollars should feel as simple as sending a text.

Full payment flow tested successfully on testnet.
