TL;DR

- Base is live
- $HANDL is now on 3 chains
- External wallets have been phased out

1\. Base is now live

You can now receive payments to your username and have it deposited as $USDC on Base.

This means HandlPay now supports:
• Polygon
• Base
• Canton Network (privacy layer)

1 social media handle. 3 blockchains. No friction.

We focus on chains that actually matter for payments:
• Base & Polygon → USDC + scale
• Canton → privacy for real-world use cases

2\. $HANDL is now multichain

$HANDL is now live across all 3 ecosystems.

➡️ $HANDL powers the HandlPay network: the token is used for fees, gas payments, and ecosystem growth
➡️ The token is swappable with $USDC (at a fixed price on Polygon and at market prices on all chains following the listing on 25 March).
➡️ Our in-app bridge is live (Polygon ↔ Canton, Base coming next).

3\. External wallets are no longer supported

We’re moving towards a simpler UX: Smart contract wallets (powered by Circle):

• No gas management
• Seamless experience

External wallets on Polygon have been deprecated.

To switch to a smart contract wallet:

→ Tap the 3 dots on your Polygon USDC
→ Disconnect
→ Restore default wallet

If you can DM someone, you can pay them.

Now on 3 chains.
