For most of history, money didn’t carry meaning beyond the transaction.
It moved quietly, between two parties, without an audience.

That’s changed.

Onchain, money is visible with Send, it becomes social.

When money becomes visible, expressive, and tied to identity, it becomes a form of communication.

And like any form of communication, it requires norms.

## What Good Sending Looks Like

Good sending is intentional.

It reflects the moment, the relationship and the reason behind it.

That does not mean every /send needs to be large.

It means every /send should be intentional.

The amount, the timing, and the message all work together to create that meaning.

This is what turns /sending into something more than a payment.

It becomes a form of social expression.

## Why This Matters

Send is not just building infrastructure for peer-to-peer money. .

It is building a layer where money and identity intersect.

That changes how people use it.

When money is tied to identity:

- It becomes visible
- It becomes expressive
- It becomes relational

And once that happens, behavior matters. Sending etiquette will not be defined in a single post.

It will emerge through how people choose to use the product.

Through moments, interactions and what feels right and what does not.

## The Shift

We are moving from: Money as a transaction → to money as interaction

A /send is not just money.

- It is signal.
- It is intentional.
- It is social.

Use it that way.

/send it like it matters.
