You seal the envelope
You pick an amount. Your browser generates a fresh key, you sign two quick transactions to fund it with USDG plus a dust of gas, and the key is folded into the link itself.
Send dollars in a text message — the link is the money, accepted with one tap, no wallet needed.

Your balance
50.00 USDG
Your money lives under a key in this browser. If this browser's data is cleared without a backup, the money is gone — and nobody, including us, can bring it back.
Move your 50 USDG anywhere — today or next month. No rush; it's parked safely.
Any Robinhood Chain / EVM address works.

From a text message to a wallet Mom owns — and Usher never touched the money once.
Working…
Everything above is a simulation with embedded example data. The real flow signs real transactions on Robinhood Chain — but the steps are exactly these.
How it works
Usher never holds anything. The money moves from your keys, to a key inside a link, to a key your recipient owns.
You pick an amount. Your browser generates a fresh key, you sign two quick transactions to fund it with USDG plus a dust of gas, and the key is folded into the link itself.
Your recipient opens the link — no wallet, no app, no account. One tap creates a brand-new key on their device and sweeps the funds over to it. This is the ownership handoff.
The balance sits on Robinhood Chain under their key, stored in their browser. They back it up (we make sure), and it patiently waits — a day, a month, whenever.
When they're ready, a two-minute guide helps them install any wallet — or they paste an address they already have. One transaction sweeps everything out.
The honest trick
There's no magic and no custodian. Just one old, boring property of the web, used carefully.
Security & honesty
Simple systems have simple truths. Here are ours, stated plainly — because trust that skips the caveats isn't trust.
Before it's accepted, an Usher link is a bearer instrument: whoever holds it can claim it. Send it the way you'd hand over cash — a direct text to a person you trust, not a public post. After your recipient accepts, the link is spent and worthless to anyone else.
Parked funds live under a key in your recipient's browser. That's real self-custody, and it comes with a real duty: back up the key. We put an unavoidable backup step in the flow and we will nag about it, because cleared browser data without a backup means the money is gone. No support ticket can undo math.
Until your recipient taps Accept, you can cancel and sweep the funds back — the unclaimed envelope is still yours. The moment they accept, ownership hands off completely and permanently. We think that's exactly how a gift should work, and we won't pretend otherwise.
Cash-out guide
The last mile matters most for someone new. Here's the honest version, not the brochure version.
USDG is Global Dollar — a regulated, dollar-backed stablecoin issued by Paxos. One USDG is designed to hold the value of one US dollar. It's the dollar rail of Robinhood Chain, which is why Usher links carry it by default.
$USHER
$USHER is the community token of the Usher project on Robinhood Chain. It has not launched: there is no contract address yet, and any address claiming to be $USHER today is fake. When it launches, the CA will be announced here and on @usher_rh — nowhere else first.
