Bringing Onchain Micro-Loans to Millions through
Identity-Backed Access on Telegram
Magnify Cash, a leader in onchain lending, has
launched MAGBot, the world’s first Telegram-based
micro-lending bot, establishing a new paradigm for onchain,
identity-backed lending. MAGBot is built on top of the Magnify Cash
V1 smart contracts, which automate the lending process and issue
loans directly on Base Chain, with future
chains to be announced.
MAGBot offers users in emerging markets, including over 7
million Orb-verified World ID holders, an innovative way to access
micro-loans without paying transaction (gas) fees. This
breakthrough is made possible by the power of Magnify Cash’s
decentralized smart contracts, designed to streamline the loan
process while minimizing costs. By leveraging the Coinbase Paymaster infrastructure, Magnify Cash
ensures that all gas fees are covered, making the loan process
entirely frictionless for users.
With MAGBot, users can create a wallet, verify their identity
using World ID, and gain immediate access to
loans—all without worrying about gas fees or collateral, which
often serve as a barrier to entry for onchain lending. MAGBot marks
the first of many applications to be built using the Magnify Cash
V1 contracts, which are designed to scale and power a wide range of
onchain lending applications.
Users can try MAGBot now by visiting t.me/MAGBotIntro and start their journey into onchain
lending.
