Minisend rolls out v2.0 beta with cross‑chain wallets, zero‑gas deposits on Base and instant payout links

The update also adds payment‑link functionality that lets creators receive funds from any chain, automate subscription billing and push payouts directly to bank accounts or mobile‑money wallets.

The startup said the upgrade is the result of “feedback from our users,” a nod to the growing demand among developers and merchants for frictionless, multi‑chain payment solutions. By integrating Lisk, Celo and Polygon, Minisend aims to bridge the gap between emerging layer‑1 ecosystems and the rapidly expanding Base ecosystem, which has attracted a wave of DeFi projects looking to sidestep Ethereum’s high gas costs.

The new payment‑link feature could be a game‑changer for subscription‑based services and content creators who have traditionally struggled with the latency and cost of on‑chain settlements. By allowing instant cash‑out to traditional banking channels, Minisend blurs the line between crypto wallets and conventional payment processors, a trend echoed by rivals such as Circle and Stripe’s recent crypto pilots.

Industry observers note that the move aligns with a broader push toward “gas‑free” experiences on layer‑2 and alternative rollups. Base, a Layer‑2 solution built by Coinbase, has been positioning itself as a low‑cost alternative to Ethereum, and Minisend’s integration adds a practical use case for its fee‑less environment. The partnership with BlockradarHQ, which powers the backend infrastructure, suggests the startup is leaning on established analytics and compliance tools to meet regulatory expectations, especially in jurisdictions where mobile‑money is regulated tightly.

While the v2.0 release is still in beta, early adopters have reportedly begun testing the cross‑chain deposit flow, noting the seamless experience of moving assets from Polygon to Base without the usual “gas‑spike” headaches. If the rollout scales, Minisend could become a pivotal layer in the growing stack of tools that enable developers to build on any chain while keeping the user experience simple.

The announcement underscores a maturing DeFi landscape where interoperability and cost‑efficiency are becoming as important as raw liquidity. As more projects look to tap into Africa’s mobile‑money ecosystem, Minisend’s focus on instant payouts could position it as a preferred bridge between crypto and fiat for creators worldwide.
