Building
Dial
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.
Bio
CMO at Dial, building the wallet-native communications layer for Web3. Dial turns wallets, ENS names, socials, phone numbers, and communities into reachable endpoints for calls, messages, rooms, broadcasts, and payments.
We’re focused on solving a simple problem: Web3 has wallets, assets, and on-chain identity, but no native way to communicate with them securely. Dial makes it possible to reach the right person, community, contract, or organization without relying on fragmented Telegram groups, Discord servers, phone numbers, or impersonation-prone accounts.
Our unique edge is combining verified identity, encrypted communication, live rooms, token-gated access, broadcast tools, and programmable payments in one network. The goal is to make communication in Web3 more trusted, more useful, and more monetizable, not another feed, but a real coordination layer for builders, creators, communities, and protocols.
Open to
- Introductions to the network
- Partnership conversations
- Investor conversations
Open to introductions, strategic partnerships, and investor conversations with teams across wallets, Web3 infrastructure, creator networks, DAOs, launchpads, DeFi, identity, telecom, and community platforms. Looking for partners who want to integrate wallet-to-wallet calling, token-gated rooms, verified community communications, broadcast infrastructure, x402 payments, or programmable messaging into their product or ecosystem. Also open to investors and operators who understand the need for a native communication layer for on-chain identity, trust, and monetization.

Payphone
Payphone by Dial is programmable telecom infrastructure built for AI agents, applications and automations. The platform enables software to provision real phone numbers, send and receive SMS, process replies through webhooks and connect human communication directly to automated workflows. Developers can integrate through a simple API, while agents can access telecom services through MCP integrations and machine-compatible payment methods. Payphone is live and generating revenue from paid telecom usage. The initial product is focused on programmable messaging and phone lines, with a broader roadmap covering human-approval workflows, agent phone identities, team routing, verification and programmable voice. Payphone is being developed as a focused business using Dial’s underlying communications technology and infrastructure.
