About

Dial is a programmable communications infrastructure company. We build the verified endpoint layer that sits under communication — the stack that makes it possible to call, message, gate, pay, and authenticate any person, business, community, or AI agent, regardless of which platform or number they're on.

The core product is a communication API and embeddable SDK. Partners drop in a single widget to add verified calling, gated rooms, broadcast, and programmable monetization to their products — without building telephony, identity verification, or payment infrastructure. We provision real phone numbers, manage TURN/SFU media relay, handle cryptographic authentication, and expose all of it via a developer API that is payable per-use, including by AI agents.

The enabling layer is wallet infrastructure: cryptographic signing for tamper-resistant authentication, on-chain settlement for instant programmable payments, and wallet addresses as verified identity endpoints. This lets Dial do things legacy CPaaS platforms cannot — verified caller identity without a phone carrier, payments embedded in a call without a payment processor intermediary, and machine-payable APIs accessible to AI agents without human authentication flow.

Problem

Communication is fragmented, unverified, and disconnected from payment.

The average business, creator, or organization uses 6–10 communication tools simultaneously: phone, SMS, email, Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Zoom, X, and streaming platforms. None of them talk to each other. None of them verify identity. None of them let you charge for access or embed payment in the interaction itself.

This creates three structural failures:

  1. Reachability is platform-trapped. Your audience, customers, and community are distributed across platforms you don't own. There is no universal, persistent address for a person, business, or AI agent that works across channels. Phone numbers get spoofed. Email addresses get abandoned. Social handles get banned. The endpoint is rented, not owned.
  1. Trust is broken — and AI is accelerating the collapse. Impersonation attacks on communication channels have increased 1,400% year-over-year (Chainalysis, 2026). AI voice cloning, deepfake video, and automated phishing have made it impossible to verify who is actually calling, messaging, or hosting you — on any of the existing platforms. Businesses lose customers to impersonation scams. Support channels are spoofed. Brand communications are faked. The existing telecom and messaging infrastructure has no cryptographic solution to this.
  1. Communication and payments are artificially separated. Attention, access, and reach are enormously valuable — but converting them into revenue requires leaving the communication context (link to Stripe, redirect to Eventbrite, subscription via another platform). There is no native way to charge for a call, gate a live room by subscription status, or let an AI agent pay per message received. Every existing CPaaS platform treats communication and payment as separate products.

**The result: **businesses, creators, communities, and developers are stuck with unowned, unverified, un-monetized communication infrastructure built for a 1990s phone network — while AI agents, crypto wallets, and programmable payment rails have made something fundamentally better technically possible.

Solution

Our vision

We have built the communication layer for the wallet-native internet, an omnichannel, real-time attention layer governed by wallet identity.

The four pillars (ownership thesis)
Big Social owns your feed, your reach, your network, and the money. Dial returns all four to the user, in priority order:

Own what you see, a curated, cross-platform feed you control, not an algorithm.
Own who reaches you, verified, permissioned, monetizable contact by wallet identity.
Own your network, relationships and audience that move with you, not the platform.
Own the money, payments, paid access, and monetized attention native to every interaction.

About this raise

Dial is raising a $3M seed to scale wallet-native communication from live alpha into a monetizable platform. Capital funds the SDK and core call/room/broadcast infrastructure, reliability and scaling, on-chain monetization rails, and creator and community growth ahead of a Q3 2026 token generation event. We're looking for a lead with conviction in consumer crypto and creator monetization who can open doors across wallets, ecosystems, and creator networks. The timing is the thesis: wallets have become the identity and money layer for 741M+ owners, AI impersonation is breaking trust in the Web2 channels they rely on, and no one yet owns the verified, monetizable communication layer around wallet identity.

PrivacyTerms

Dial is the programmable communications layer. What we do is create a network of verified endpoints, embedded payments, and developer APIs that work across human and machine interaction.

We make any endpoint (phone number, wallet address, domain, community, app, AI agent) into a verified, payable, programmable communication channel.

The three primitives:

Verified Reachability Every Dial endpoint is cryptographically authenticated. Calls and messages carry proof of sender identity. Basically eliminating spoofing and impersonation. Businesses get verified support lines. Creators get authenticated broadcast channels. AI agents get signed API endpoints. This works whether the endpoint is a phone number, a wallet address, a social handle, or an ENS name.

Programmable Access Rooms, calls, communities, and channels can be gated by subscription status, credential ownership, payment, or any programmable condition — enforced on-chain without a middleman. This enables ticketed events, membership communities, paid AMAs, and enterprise access-controlled meetings in one surface.

Embedded Payments Pay-to-call, pay-per-message, paid room access, and API usage fees are all settled instantly and programmatically. This works at any scale — from a $0.10 AI agent API call to a $500 private consulting call. We do this without payment processor integration, chargeback risk, or payout delays.

The SDK / API layer Everything above is exposed via an embeddable widget (one-line integration for partners) and a developer API (x402) that is fully machine-payable — meaning AI agents can authenticate, pay, and use Dial communications primitives autonomously, without human OAuth flows.
Partners embed once. They get verified calling, programmable rooms, broadcast, pay-to-reach, and agent-ready APIs, all in one SDK.

Use of funds

SDK & core infrastructure, 35% (~$1.05M)
Build out the embeddable SDK and widget, wallet-to-wallet calls and messaging, token/NFT/community-gated rooms, and the curated cross-platform feed. This is the surface partners integrate and the core that turns a wallet into a reachable, ownable endpoint.
Reliability & scaling, 25% (~$750K)
Real-time media infrastructure, TURN/SFU relay and the RTMP broadcast pipeline, plus observability, uptime, and capacity to support concurrent rooms, calls, and live streams as usage scales from alpha to production.
Monetization smart contracts, 20% (~$600K)
On-chain payment and access rails: pay-to-call, paid rooms, protocol take-rate, and $DIAL utility integration, including third-party security audits of all payment-handling contracts before mainnet.
Growth & community, 20% (~$600K)
Creator and KOL acquisition, community programs, and ecosystem/partner business development, converting the live product into adopted, monetizing surfaces ahead of the Q3 2026 TGE.
