handlHow it works
X identity. Real on-chain settlement.
handl turns your X handle into a real wallet on Robinhood Chain. Payments are ordinary on-chain transfers, addressed by @username instead of by 0x address.
Sign in with your X account. Your X user ID becomes the primary key for your handl identity, no password, and no claiming anyone else’s handle.
handl creates a wallet for your account the first time you sign in and hands you its address. It is the same address every time you come back, and there is nothing to register.
Send USDG to your handl address on Robinhood Chain, plus a little ETH for gas — gas is charged in ETH even when you are sending USDG. It appears in your balance once the transfer confirms, and there is no convert step.
Enter a recipient’s X username and an amount. handl resolves the handle to that person’s wallet and moves the funds straight from your wallet to theirs. They have to have signed in at least once, so there is an address to pay.
Your wallet signs the transfer and handl broadcasts it to the chain. The payment moves pending → completed or failed, with a real transaction hash you can look up. Nothing is faked, and nothing is simulated.
Security, by design
- Identity is your X account, never a made-up username.
- Your wallet key is held by our custody provider: it is never stored on handl servers and never reaches your browser.
- Balances and statuses come from the backend and the chain, never the client.
- Idempotency keys make double-clicks and retries safe, you can never spend twice.
- The wallet is custodial. handl signs on your instruction, so treat an handl balance the way you would treat an exchange balance.
- Payments are public. Amounts, addresses and timing are visible to anyone reading the chain, exactly like any other transfer.
- Every transfer has a ceiling — currently 10,000 USDG or 5 ETH — so a rounding or interface bug cannot drain a wallet.
