Abstract

Stablecoins are a $291 billion market, and Sui settles a stablecoin payment in under a second. Yet less than 0.2% of that supply lives on Sui, because using it still means seed phrases, gas tokens and 66-character addresses. Talise removes all three. It is a self-custody wallet built on USDsui, with zkLogin sign-in, names instead of addresses, and rails to banks in more than 30 countries, a dollar card and other chains. Since its first transaction on 19 May 2026 it has reached 2,359 accounts, doubled monthly transactions and paid ₦10.26 million into bank accounts.

Thesis

Every dollar on Sui should be money people can use: sent to a name, spent with a card, cashed out to a bank, without ever touching a seed phrase or a gas token.

Talise is the gasless stablecoin wallet for Sui users, powered by USDsui. People hold dollars as USDsui and send them to a name instead of an address. Payments are final in under a second, and there is no gas token to hold: USDsui transfers are gasless on the Sui Network.

Sign-in is Google or Apple through zkLogin, so there is no seed phrase, and every payment is signed on the user’s own device. Around that core, Talise connects Sui to the rest of the money world: USDC in from EVM chains, yield from Sui DeFi, a virtual dollar card, and cash-outs to bank accounts and mobile money in more than 30 countries.

Sui already moves dollars in under a second. Talise makes those dollars feel like a bank account, without a bank holding them.

Why now

Stablecoins have become the internet’s dollar, but the chains that settle them best are the hardest for ordinary people to use.

Sui finalises a payment in under a second and supports zkLogin natively, yet holds a sliver of stablecoin supply. The gap is not settlement; it is the experience. USDsui, already the second-largest stablecoin on Sui after USDC ($319.8M), gives Talise a native dollar to build that experience on.

The problem

Each step a wallet asks of a newcomer loses people, and a dollar that can’t be spent stays a crypto asset.

  • Seed phrases. Twelve words to write down, and the money is gone if they are lost.
  • Gas. Buying and topping up SUI before any dollar can move.
  • Addresses. 66 characters copied without a typo, for every payment.
  • Dead ends. No simple way from on-chain dollars to a bank account or a card.

Talise removes each step. Balances are USDsui, which moves gasless on Sui. Every user can claim name@talise and be paid by it. zkLogin turns a Google or Apple sign-in into a wallet whose key stays on the device. And rails at the edges reach banks, cards and other chains, while Talise’s servers can never move a user’s money on their own.

The product

One wallet on three platforms, sharing one backend: native iOS, Android and the web.

  1. Sign in

    With Google or Apple. zkLogin creates a Sui wallet whose key stays on the device. No seed phrase.

  2. Hold and send

    Dollars as USDsui, sent to a name like maya@talise. Gasless on Sui, final in under a second.

  3. Spend or cash out

    With the Talise card, or to banks and mobile money in more than 30 countries.

The apps sign every payment on the device. The server prepares, records and talks to partners; licensed partners convert between USDsui and bank money.

Money rails

Inside Talise everything is USDsui; every rail converts at the edge, and each can be switched off in seconds without shipping an app.

The card is the bridge between the two worlds: it turns on-chain dollars into a regulated US-dollar account, which pays out to banks abroad. Inside the network, sends and swaps stay on Sui and final in under a second.

Identity and compliance

One identity check unlocks the card, cash-outs abroad and higher limits, and a tier only ever goes up.

TierHow it is reachedDaily send limitUnlocks
0Signing in with Google or Apple$1,000Hold, send, receive, local cash-out
1Passing the identity check$5,000The card, cash-outs abroad
2Full ID, address and sanctions screening$10,000Higher limits
3Enhanced due diligence, source of fundsBy reviewCase by case

The check asks for name, date of birth, address, phone and an ID document. A passport can be scanned instead of typed: the app reads its machine-readable zone on the device, verifies every check digit and fills the form, and it never guesses a document number. Every fiat rail runs through a licensed partner, with a $1,000 daily cash-out cap, a per-deposit cap on local add-money, and bank account numbers encrypted at rest.

Security

Keys never leave the device, and the server can prepare a payment but never make one.

On the device

  • zkLogin: no seed phrase to steal or lose
  • A PIN and biometric confirmation on every payment
  • Auto-lock when the app is left; a privacy cover in the iOS app switcher

On the server

  • Secrets server-side only, verified by audit
  • AES-256-GCM encryption at rest for sign-in salts, sessions and bank numbers
  • OAuth 2.1 with mandatory PKCE and rotating tokens for AI assistants
  • Signed-first, nonce-managed payouts, so a retry can never pay twice

On-chain programs

Where money must wait, it waits in a contract on Sui, not in a Talise account.

Permissionless by design. Scheduled payments need no server: execute_due can be called by anyone, but it can only send the owner-set amount to the owner-set recipient once the on-chain clock says it is due.

Private transfers. A shielded pool hides amounts and the link between sender and receiver with zero-knowledge proofs (Groth16, Poseidon commitments). The first private round-trip on mainnet ran on 21 June 2026; a multi-party trusted setup comes next, before limits rise.

AI and agents

Talise is built for a world where people ask an assistant to move money, and the assistant still needs their approval.

Figure 3

The Talise connector at app.talise.io/mcp, live since 4 November 2026.

Talise Copilot answers questions about the account and turns a request into a payment the user confirms. The Talise connector lets Claude, ChatGPT and Grok check a balance and prepare cash-outs over OAuth 2.1; a stolen connection can only ever prepare requests the owner must approve. The Talise CLI gives developers and agents the same wallet from a terminal, including agent-to-agent payments. Connect an assistant.

Business model

A small, visible fee where money touches the outside world; nothing on dollar-to-dollar transfers inside the network.

Fees are shown before the user confirms, added on top so the recipient gets exactly what was asked, and paid in the same signed transaction to Talise’s treasury on Sui. Talise does not compete on being cheapest. Its edge is the network (a name anyone can pay, final in under a second, no seed phrase) and business flows, where margin comes from volume.

Six months from the first settled transaction to a multi-rail wallet on three platforms.

Roadmap

Now finishes what November started, Next puts Talise in the app stores, and Later depends on Talise’s own licence and float.

Figure 5

Approvals in the apps, store launches, then Talise’s own corridors

  1. Now

    November 2026

    • Approve AI-prepared cash-outs inside the apps
    • Sign in with Apple on the web
    • Security hardening release
  2. Next

    Once Now ships

    • App Store and Google Play launch
    • AI assistants that send abroad
    • Talise CLI on npm
    • One-tap identity for people already verified
  3. Later

    Gated on a licence and float

    • Talise's own licence and first business corridor
    • Private transfers in the apps
    • Tier 2 limits with proof of address
    • More local add-money rails

    Gate: Talise's own licence and float in place before it runs a corridor.

Phases in order, not to scale; only work already identified.

Risks

The largest risks are regulatory and partner concentration, not technology.

RiskWhy it mattersMitigation
LicensingMoving money across borders needs licensed partners or Talise's own licence in each market.Every fiat rail runs through a licensed partner; the plan anchors on a Singapore licence before Talise runs a corridor itself.
Partner concentrationThe card and cash-outs abroad rely on one partner; local rails on two.Each rail can be switched off in seconds, and local rails already run on two partners.
Engagement depthSign-ups arrived in a launch wave; the transacting base is smaller.The October focus on payments, open add-money and the card target repeat use.
Smart-contract riskGoals, cheques, streams and the shielded pool hold funds in contracts.Audited and republished with version gating; the shielded pool is capped while its ceremony completes.
Exchange ratesLocal currencies move through the day.Rates are fixed when a deposit's details are issued or a cash-out is created.
FloatRunning corridors directly needs an estimated $8–15M of float.Partner-funded rails until that capital is raised.
