These repositories (talise-frontend, talise-mobile, talise-contracts, talise-infra, and this talise-docs) are the clean, organized submission. The original day to day development happened in the primary working repository above, which we migrated into focused repositories for clarity.

The problem

Moving money across a border still costs an average of 6.4 percent, takes one to five days, and assumes you have a bank. 1.4 billion adults do not. The people who feel it most are the ones who can least afford it.

The solution

Talise is a dollar account that lives inside a conversation. You sign in with Google, hold dollars, and send them to a name like vanessa@talise.sui, not a 0x address. No seed phrase, no gas, no waiting. And you can send privately, with the amount hidden on chain.

How it works

Four invisible layers, one obvious experience:

1. Identity. zkLogin turns a Google account into a self-custodial Sui wallet. The user never sees a key.
2. Settlement. Balances are USDsui, a US dollar token on Sui, moved with sub-second finality.
3. Gas. Every send is sponsored, so the user pays nothing to transact.
4. Names. Everyone claims name@talise.sui, a real on-chain SuiNS identity that money routes to.

On top of that core: private (shielded) transfers, claim links, streaming, an on-chain savings vault, and bank cash-out.

Privacy

Public chains leak every balance and every payment. Talise private send uses a Groth16 shielded pool to hide the amount on chain and break the link between sender and recipient through a relayer. It is real zero-knowledge settlement, live on Sui mainnet today.

What is live

• Gasless sends to a name@talise.sui handle, settling in under a second.
• Private sends with the amount hidden on chain.
• Claim links (money in a link) and streaming (money over time).
• On and off ramps to a bank through licensed partners.
• Public beta on iOS via TestFlight. The website is at talise.io.

Traction

• 1,900+ names on the waitlist.
• 1,400+ @handles already claimed on chain.
• Live on Sui mainnet.
