See how ÆSI works
Watch how easy it is to create digital cash, pay a friend for coffee, and cash out whenever you want—all without fees or needing the internet.
Welcome to ÆSI
This is your ÆSI home screen! It shows your total balance in one simple number—combining both your digital cash (device notes) and regular crypto. Think of device notes like having cash in your pocket that you can hand to friends instantly, while your crypto stays in your normal wallet for everything else.
Your Digital Cash
Swipe right and here are your device notes—those floating bubbles! Each bubble is like a bill in your wallet, and you can send them to anyone nearby without internet or fees. This is where you create new cash (we call it "minting") or turn your digital cash back into regular crypto like USDT whenever you want. It's your money, totally private and ready to go.
Your Crypto Wallet
Swipe once more and you're in your regular crypto wallet. This works just like any other wallet app—you can send and receive crypto, check your balance, and see your transaction history. The cool part? You get the best of both worlds: use device notes when you want instant, free payments with friends, and use your crypto wallet for everything else.
Creating Your Digital Cash
Tap "Mint" and you can create digital cash in whatever amounts you need—just like getting different bill sizes from an ATM! Pick your favorite stablecoin (USDT, USDC, DAI—they all work) and choose your denominations. Your crypto gets safely locked up, and you get digital cash that you can send to anyone, anytime, even when you're offline. No internet needed until you want to cash out!
Cash Ready to Go!
Done! Your new digital cash shows up right away as those fun floating bubbles. Each one has its own value, and now you can send them to friends or family in seconds—no internet needed. They're locked to your phone so nobody can copy or steal them. You're all set to pay for coffee, split a dinner bill, or send money to anyone nearby!
Time to Pay for Coffee
Over on your friend's phone, they're ready to get paid for that delicious coffee they just made you! Their home screen shows what they currently have. In a second, they'll ask you to send them some money. The cool thing? This all happens directly between your two phones—no apps watching, no fees, no internet needed. Just like handing over a $5 bill, but way cooler.
Asking for Payment
Your friend taps "Receive" and types in how much they want—say $5.50 for that coffee. They can add a little note too, like "Thanks for the coffee money!" It's perfect for keeping track of who owes what when you're splitting bills with friends. Best part? No internet needed, no fees charged. Everything happens directly between your phones.
Pick How to Send
Now your friend gets to choose how to receive the money: tap your phones together (so satisfying!), scan a QR code if you're sitting across the table, or just use Discovery to find each other's phones automatically. All three work in seconds, no wifi or cell service needed. Works great everywhere—busy cafes, basements, even camping in the middle of nowhere!
Finding Each Other
Let's say you pick Discovery—this is what you see. Your phone looks for other ÆSI users nearby (Tap and QR work the same way, just with different screens). Don't worry about privacy—phones only share random codes, not your name or anything personal. It connects super fast, and boom—you can send money to anyone around you without even having their number!
Double-Check Before Sending
Before the money moves, you get to see exactly what you're sending—how much, who's getting it, and their note. If you're extra careful, you can even verify their security code to make sure it's really them. You're always in control—check everything, and if something looks weird, just tap cancel. Simple as that!
Money Sent!
Tap "Send" and—done! You see this success screen. The money's gone from your balance in about two seconds, no fees, no internet needed. Your phone keeps a record of the payment, and if you want, you can back it up to the cloud. But here's the best part: ÆSI never sees your payments. It's completely private, just between you and your friend.
Money Received!
Your friend sees this happy success screen too! The money is now safely in their phone and ready to spend. They could literally turn around and pay someone else with it right now—it works just like cash getting passed from person to person. Private like cash, but protected by your phone's security. Pretty neat, right?
Balance Updated
Back on their home screen, your friend can see their new balance—it went up! The bubbles on their device notes page got bigger too. Now they can do whatever they want: keep the cash for later, send it to someone else, or turn it back into regular crypto. The money keeps its value forever and can be passed around as many times as people want before anyone cashes out.
Cashing Out
When your friend wants to turn their digital cash back into regular crypto, they just tap "Redeem" and pick how much. The device notes disappear and the same amount in USDT (or whatever stablecoin they used) shows up in their crypto wallet. For this part, you do need internet, and there's a small network fee—but no company is taking a cut. Cash out whenever you want, however much you want!
All Cashed Out!
Success! This screen confirms the digital cash is gone and the same amount in USDT (or whatever they picked) is now in their crypto wallet. The transaction gets saved on the blockchain so there's proof it happened. Now they can use that crypto however they want—send it to another wallet, use it in other apps, swap it for different coins, whatever! And that's the full circle: crypto to cash to crypto again.
Back in the Crypto Wallet
And we're back where we started—your friend's crypto wallet now shows the USDT that just got cashed out. It's right there with all their other crypto, ready to use. That's the magic of ÆSI: use digital cash when you want instant, private, free payments with people around you. Use your regular crypto wallet for everything else. Best of both worlds, all in one app!
