Can I send funds to an EXTRA SAFE contact who is in a different country?
Yes. Crypto is borderless – location is irrelevant. Speed and cost depend on the network, not where anyone is.
A transfer from Paris to São Paulo works exactly the same as one across the street. The blockchain doesn't have borders. SWIFT does – which is why international bank transfers average 3.5% in fees and take up to three days. On Avalanche, the same transfer costs cents and settles in less than a second.
This is particularly useful for sending stablecoins to contacts in countries with limited banking infrastructure or volatile local currencies. They receive tokenized dollars, pegged to USD, instantly.
