The Infrastructure Moment for the Consumer Layer of Stablecoins

In January 2026, EXTRA SAFE was sending 8,300 messages a day. We cut ad spend by 88%. Today: 130,000 messages a day. Organic. 6.8x growth.
We don’t know every use case yet, and that’s intentional – EXTRA SAFE is built as an end-to-end encrypted system where users own their keys and their data stays with them. But that curve of organic growth tells us something is working.

The financial system is moving onto new rails. In 2025, stablecoin transaction volume crossed $33 trillion - surpassing Visa's annual throughput for the first time. This isn't a prediction anymore.
Rain's CEO Farooq Malik said it clearly when they closed their $250M Series C in January:
"Stablecoins are quickly becoming the way money moves in the 21st century, but adoption by users worldwide requires cards and apps that just work." – Farooq Malik.
That last part is the gap we're building into.
The infrastructure for stablecoin payments is maturing fast. What's still missing is the consumer interface - something people already want to use, that makes sending digital dollars as natural as sending a message.
EXTRA SAFE is that interface.
From the beginning, we built on the same cryptographic foundation as Ethereum. Non-custodial. Fully owned by the user. That same foundation is now the infrastructure for a new money rail, where stablecoin payments happen inside a conversation, with the same tap you'd use to send a photo.
USDT - 70% market share, $184B market cap, the digital dollar the world already chose, moves inside EXTRA SAFE Chat. Our vision is simple: stablecoins should feel as familiar as the money people already use - with none of the friction. The interface they'll use to get there is the one humans have relied on for the past 30 years. Chat.

ICONIQ's Kamran Zaki, lead investor in Rain's Series C, described what they were looking for: "making tokenized money mainstream, rather than a niche financial experiment."
That's the only thing we're building toward.
600K+ downloads. 130K daily messages. Organic growth that started the day we stopped paying for it.
