About

Sudo Messenger

Read full description

A messenger built for people who actually move onchain. Sudo puts a self-custody wallet, real research tools and a chat app in one place β€” so you stop switching between six tabs to send someone $20 or check whether a contract is safe. CHAT THAT CARRIES VALUE Send crypto inside a conversation the way you'd send a photo. Split a group payment by custom percentage per member. Paste any contract address and see what it is before you tap send. Share a video link and it plays right in the thread. A WALLET YOU ACTUALLY OWN Self-custody across 16+ networks β€” Ethereum, Polygon, BNB, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Avalanche, zkSync and more. Multiple accounts, import your existing wallet, QR send and receive with network-aware warnings so funds don't land on the wrong chain. Swap and bridge with rates compared across providers and slippage you control. Buy and sell through Alchemy Pay, MoonPay, Transfi and Banxa with card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. AI EXPLORER Ask about a wallet or token in normal language and get an answer, not a dashboard. Where did these funds come from. Why did this token move. Who's holding it. What actually happened in this transaction. It picks the right network on its own, and it tells you when it can't find something instead of making it up. TOOLS THAT CHECK BEFORE YOU TRUST Audit Scan reviews a contract against multiple risk sources β€” honeypot behaviour, buy and sell tax, mint permissions, hidden ownership. Watcher follows funds hop by hop across a chain until they reach an exchange. And if something goes wrong, flag it from the chat itself. COMMUNITIES WITH REAL DOORS Token-gated groups that verify contract ownership. Subscription groups for creators. Group-level audit reports. Community signal channels carry a track-record score, so you can see how a channel has actually performed before you follow it. BUILT-IN DAPP BROWSER Open Uniswap or any dapp with your wallet already connected. No copy-paste, no separate extension. SPEAKS THE WAY YOU DO Set your language once and every message arrives in it. Not just Hindi or Tamil β€” Hinglish, Tanglish, Tenglish, Benglish, Punglish, Manglish and more. You type how you talk, they read how they talk. MINI APPS A growing app centre inside Sudo β€” escrow with independent dispute resolution, encrypted mail, domains, calculators, calling and more. Your keys stay on your device. Sudo never holds them. Sudo is free to use. Optional premium plans unlock higher AI Explorer limits, deeper fund tracing and team features.

PalliTalk: messaging built for the people you actually talk to PalliTalk is a private messenger for real friends. Sign up with an email, add a friend with a 6-character code, and start chatting. No phone number. No address-book scraping. No public profile. Chat that does more than text - Text, voice notes with waveform playback, photos, videos, GIFs, animated stickers - Snap β€” disappearing photos, one view, screenshot-protected - Mines β€” drop a hidden message on the map; your friend has to walk there to unlock it - Drops β€” pin a message, photo, or voice note to a place; recipient sees it on arrival - Gawibawibo β€” rock-paper-scissors duel right inside any chat - @mentions and a built-in @GPT assistant - Reactions, replies, edit, delete-for-me on any message - Custom backgrounds, themes, and per-chat color packs Day Vlog β€” your day, unfiltered One short photo or video per hour, straight from the camera. No filters. No camera-roll uploads. No retakes. Day Vlog is for what's happening right now β€” the coffee, the walk home, the small thing you'd never post on a feed. Voice rooms Drop into a walkie-talkie style voice room with one friend or a small group. Push to talk, leave the channel idle in the background, hear someone the moment they hop in. The map is part of the conversation - Real-time positions for friends you've added β€” never strangers - Chat directly from the map: bubbles float over locations - Footprints replay your last trip as an animated trail - Photo Map pins every shared photo at the place it was taken - Place alerts when a friend arrives somewhere Lock Screen presence Send a message, GIF, or animated reaction directly to your friend's Lock Screen via Live Activity. It stays visible until they tap it. Live Activity also covers incoming voice and active chats. Ambient awareness, not surveillance Motion-aware status quietly shows when you're walking, driving, or stationary β€” only to friends you've added. Online status never leaks beyond your circle. Private journal Face ID-locked daily journal: mood, free-form text, photos, calendar view, monthly grouping. Stored on your phone, never synced to a public profile. The one place that's just for you. Statistics on your own activity Messages exchanged, voice minutes, photos shared, places visited together, top hours, trip summaries with maps and distance, storage breakdown β€” all computed locally. Privacy you can feel Screenshot protection on Snap, Mines, Drops, disappearing messages, secret bubbles, and the journal. Per-chat disappearing-message timers. Per-friend visibility control: you decide who sees what. Weather data Weather information is provided by Apple Weather. Legal source: https://weatherkit.apple.com/legal-attribution.html
