Maqassa Documentation
What is Maqassa?
Maqassa is a non-custodial wallet for sending stablecoins (USDC) to anyone and cashing out at local merchants. It currently runs as a Telegram bot — no app downloads required.
How it works
1. Create a wallet
Open the Maqassa bot on Telegram and press Start. A wallet is automatically created for you on the Base network.
2. Top up
Top up your wallet via:
- EUR bank transfer — Send euros from any EU/SEPA bank account. Funds are converted to USDC and arrive on Base via Compose Finance.
- Crypto deposit — Send USDC directly to your wallet address from any other wallet or exchange.
3. Send
Pick a recipient by Telegram contact or email. Enter the amount. The transfer is instant, peer-to-peer, with zero fees.
4. Cash out
Your recipient finds a local merchant in our network, sends USDC to the merchant's wallet, and collects cash on the spot.
Security

Maqassa is non-custodial — we never hold your funds. Your wallet exists on-chain and you are the sole owner.

FAQ
Do I need crypto experience?
No. Sign up with Telegram, top up via bank transfer, send to a contact name. No addresses, no gas — we handle everything.
What is USDC?
A digital dollar — 1 USDC = 1 USD. Issued by Circle and backed by real reserves.
Are there fees?
Zero transfer fees. Zero gas fees. Onramp providers may charge their own processing fee.
How does cash out work?
The recipient visits a merchant listed in the app, sends USDC to the merchant's address, shows a confirmation, and receives cash.
What if I lose my device?
Your wallet is linked to your email address. Contact support to recover access.
What if Maqassa shuts down?
Your funds stay on-chain. You can log in to Privy Home with your email to recover access, export your private key, and use the wallet in any compatible EVM wallet such as MetaMask.
