Fair question - and silent.link is genuinely good, I won't pretend otherwise. Their Lightning flow and never-expiring balance are excellent.
Where we differ today:
- Everything works inside Telegram - buy, get your QR, manage plans, top up. No dashboard, no account, nothing to log into
- Payment breadth: on-chain BTC + Monero, plus stables with network choice (TRC-20 / BEP-20 / Arbitrum / Solana)
- Plans from $1 at local rates instead of one global per-GB rate - for a 1-2 week trip it usually comes out cheaper
- Tor mirror, and we publish what we DON'T collect
Where they beat us today, honestly: Lightning (being fixed) and US numbers — our answer is EU numbers with voice + SMS on August 1.
The longer bet: one no-KYC flow for the whole stack — data, a real number, and more coming. That's the differentiation

This is a great use case for Bitcoin: non kyc esims make so much sense. Especially when you get to accepting lightning.
I currently use silent.link for this when travelling. I'm curious if you all have a plan to distinguish your service from theirs.
