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.
