🔥 PhoenixWire is now open to everyone!

Send NIM, USDC or USDT by email through a protected payment card. The recipient opens the card and verifies their email with a code to claim the funds. The link alone isn’t enough.

Think of it as a digital paper wallet, delivered by email with an extra layer of protection. Each card holds its funds at its own address, ready for the intended recipient to claim.

How it started

PhoenixWire grew out of PhoenixMail. After integrating Nimiq Cashlinks into emails, I wondered: what if we could protect a payment link with an email verification code?

That idea grew into a standalone app for sending NIM, USDC and USDT to an email address—making crypto a little more approachable for people who have never used it before.

What can you do?

Send and receive NIM through Nimpay or Nimiq Wallet.
Send USDC on Polygon, or USDT on Polygon and Ethereum.
Add a personal message to your payment card.
Follow your cards and recover unclaimed funds.
Use Wire in English, French, Spanish, German or Chinese.

Cards are valid for 24 hours. Unclaimed NIM is returned automatically. For USDC and USDT, return to Wire to recover your funds; the relay’s fees are retained.

📱 On mobile: choose Nimpay or use Nimiq Wallet through your browser.

💻 On desktop: use the web app with Nimiq Wallet.

Invitation-only testing is over—public access is now open! 🚀
