The smartest wallet you’ve never used

Most crypto wallets are glorified token vaults. They store assets—but don’t help users interact with them in any meaningful way. Tychi flips that model.

With an emphasis on smart abstraction, AI, and modular UX, Tychi aims to deliver the kind of user experience you’d expect from Web2—while retaining the values of Web3: self-custody, composability, and privacy.

Key innovations from Tychi

Universal Gas Framework (UGF)

Tychi’s UGF allows you to pay gas fees on any supported chain (including Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon) using just BNB or Tychi’s native token.
No more scrambling for native tokens. Just transact.

Cold wallet security—on your terms

USB sticks, old phones, even your laptop—Tychi lets you turn them into secure cold wallets. Everything stays local and encrypted, with optional Shamir Secret Sharing for social recovery via trusted contacts or family members.

Embedded AI tools

From swap recommendations to on-chain alerts, AI plays a core role in helping users make smarter decisions. And because it’s built into the wallet, there’s no need for dashboards or extensions.

Gamified learning + in-wallet games

Education meets retention. Tychi offers learn-to-earn modules tied to airdrops, plus built-in games that enhance wallet stickiness. It’s fun, but also foundational.

Built-in launchpad and swaps

Whether you're launching a token, swapping assets, or integrating NFTs, Tychi is designed to be full-stack—everything you need in one place.

Built by builders, not marketers

The Tychi team—spread across New Zealand and India—has been quietly building for over a year. They’ve onboarded 600+ early testers, prioritized security audits, and are gearing up for a public launch in July.

At its core, Tychi is focused on making self-custody feel like a feature—not a burden.

Why it matters

Web3 adoption is bottlenecked not by technology—but by experience. If we want real-world users to join this movement, we need tools that abstract complexity without compromising values. Tychi is a bold step in that direction.

Whether it’s universal gas, secure cold storage, or AI-enhanced UX, this wallet is building with clarity of purpose: make decentralization usable.

Final thoughts from Rishi

In the final part of the conversation, Rishi shares the origin story of Tychi—rooted in his own frustrations using current wallets. He also puts out a call for early users, seed investors, and marketers who believe in a smarter, more accessible crypto future.
