2/ Why are simple URL links better?

📲 Share them on any platform—WhatsApp, iMessage, Signal.

🤝 No username needed. Send it directly to someone you trust.

🤳No account necessary. BeerMe helps them create an account and a self-custody wallet in seconds with just their phone #.

4/ But don't users need a wallet for USDC?

BeerMe uses Privy to embed self-custody wallets for every user with a seamless onboarding flow that makes it feel like signing up for any modern app.

This allows BeerMe to be powered by USDC without any existing crypto/wallet required.

5/ BeerMe sets out to be the digital wallet of the future, unlocking true P2P—paying anyone, anywhere with no extra coordination or infrastructure needed.

3/ How does it work?

BeerMe's Token Locker Protocol removes the need for wallet addresses. Think of it like any other package locker:

1️⃣ Tokens are stored in a secure onchain "locker"
2️⃣ The link acts as the key
3️⃣ Only the recipient with the link can unlock and claim tokens
