Hi Product Hunt Community!
I’m Uchi. Uchi as in Gucci.😉 I’m the CEO of Chimoney, a fintech infrastructure company that created Unispend. Our philosophy is to create products that allow easy transfer of value from anywhere to everywhere, and from anything to everything.
Unispend was born out of a simple idea to provide crypto natives the fastest and most secure way to convert their digital assets into real-world products.
What is Unispend?
We created Unispend as a global crypto-to-commerce protocol. It introduces spending functionality directly within non-custodial wallets.
Users can connect their wallets with Unispend and pay for
- Over 500 million products on Amazon or Shopify product
- 1,000+ gift cards
- Airtime in 8 countries
- Mobile money in 9 countries
Unispend is now live on and integrated with Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, Celo and the XRPL. Token holders of any of these 5 chains can easily spend most of their digital assets on all of the products listed above.
We are working hard to expand to more chains as well as to add more product categories and geographic coverage.
Why Unispend?
We believe crypto is for spending also. Our goal for Unispend is to be the go-to application, a universal marketplace for digital asset holders to spend their assets in real life. As such, we have built the following key features into the protocol.
- Unispend helps its users preserve their self-sovereignty. 🛡️ Users pay directly from their non-custodial wallets. Each transaction needs to be signed and approved individually. You don’t give any third party direct access to your assets. It is “spending on demand”.
- Unispend provides a one-STEP shopping experience for crypto holders. 👣
You no longer need to send crypto to exchanges and convert to fiat and then transfer fiat to bank accounts in order to spend! Unispend eliminates all the cumbersome steps.
- Unispend adopts an ecosystem-first approach 🌄. It allows users to spend most tokens on a supported chain. Spend your block rewards, DeFi earnings and yield farming gains with Unispend.
- Unispend provides a wide selection for localized products and services right where you are. 🛒 We are currently in 21 countries and offer 500 million+ products and 1,000+ global gift cards, with more to come.
What’s Next?
More chains, more products, more geographical coverage, and more users like you! 😃

Finally, we welcome any and all suggestions to help us improve Unispend. To reiterate, our goal is to make Unispend the go-to application, a universal marketplace for digital asset holders to spend their assets in real life. The only way to get there is together.
