2026 Project Outlook

2026 Project Outlook

Happy new years! ๐ŸŽ‰ As we're gearing up for an exciting 2026 and an incoming listing details announcement, let's start by sharing some of our accomplishments during 2025.

- Onboarded 320,000 social media users with their Instagram, Telegram, and X handles, WhatsApp numbers, and Google emails.

- Processed over 3 million transactions to social media handles.

- Integrated routing across Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, and most recently Canton Network.

- We rebranded with intent and did an app UI update as well.

- Launched $HANDL token with in-app utility (1,700+ holders), trading will commence on exchanges in early 2026.

- Integrated Stellar anchor network, Moonpay, and Mercuryo to enable easy offramp options.

HandlPay is fantastically positioned to ride the massive wave of stablecoin adoption in payments.

Weโ€™re solving a true global problem: reducing payment complexity so that anyone ๐ŸŒŽ can receive money privately with no thinking required.

People will soon laugh at the idea that it used to take 20 minutes to figure out how to send money to each other.

โœ… $USDC support across Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, and Canton Network

โœ… UI design revamp

โœ… Complete project rebrand to HandlPay

โœ… New feature: Fiat payments and pay via Apple Pay

โœ… New feature: Multi-chain wallet creation for Web2 users via Circle programmable wallets

โœ… New off-ramp integration: Stellar anchor partners, MoonPay, and Mercuryo

โœ… Added support for Telegram and Whatsapp

โœ… Rewards program launch in collaboration with Canton Network

The new year holds a lot in store for us and here is a little sneak peak of what we're most excited about:

๐Ÿช™ $HANDL LISTING

Weโ€™re flipping the script on token launches by building real token demand from in-app utility before the token starts trading. โ˜๏ธ

There are already over 1,700 unique token holders. All of them purchased the token at a price of $0.01, translating to a $10m fully diluted valuation, which reflects the expected listing price.

We are now finalizing exchange agreements and are preparing for the start of trading. Expect an announcement with more details in the coming weeks.

๐Ÿฅท PRIVACY

Privacy will be a core moat for the HandlPay ecosystem and we are actively working to privatize our payment flows in a compliant way. We have started  by integrating the Canton Network and we're looking forward to releasing more features and updates powered by their private chain.

๐Ÿ“ฑ NATIVE APP

The HandlPay web app MVP was a great start. Our next major milestone is to bring it all together in a native Android and iOS app.

The series of features we will launch in this new app experience have been highly requested by you and will continue to smoothen the experience.

Examples include QR codes and the ability for users to connect all their social media accounts and manage their payment rules for their handles in one central place.

Read our full roadmap here (a detailed update will be shared soon).

STAY TUNED FOR WHAT'S NEXT

Weโ€™re committed to utility-driven growth: Privacy, speed, and rewards tied to real use. We appreciate you following our journey and your participation in our community! ๐Ÿงก
