Peanut is a self-custodial digital-dollar payments app that lets users send and receive money through links and QR codes without exposing wallet addresses, gas fees, or chain differences. Peanut's Twitter Score is 54 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of August 2026, ranking #16,373 (top 5%) among 482,999 tracked accounts.
Peanut was co-founded by Konrad Urban and Hugo Montenegro. The protocol is fully non-custodial: each account is backed by a personal smart account on Arbitrum, with a private key generated through device biometrics and stored in the device's Secure Enclave, meaning Peanut itself cannot access or freeze user funds. Transactions are authorized with passkeys rather than seed phrases or manual signing.
Peanut supports crypto deposits in USDC, USDT and DAI across networks including Solana, Arbitrum, Base, Avalanche, Polygon, Ethereum and Tron, with USDT and DAI deposits converted to USDC. For local payment connectivity, the service integrates with SEPA, ACH, SPEI, PIX and Mercado Pago through payment partners, and its website states support for more than 140 countries, more than 50 currencies and zero transfer fees. A virtual payment card, fundable via bank transfers, exchange withdrawals, USDC or USDT, is available in closed beta.
Peanut participated in the LongHashX Accelerator cohort and selected Axelar Network as its cross-chain protocol. The project completed a $1.5 million pre-seed round in February 2025, backed by Blockscout, WalletConnect and Clave Wallet, among others. Co-founder Konrad Urban noted in March 2026 that users had shared Peanut 40,000 times, alongside the launch of a referral-rewards system funded from revenue generated by referred-user activity.
