Question 1

What is Minisend and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Minisend is a crypto-to-fiat conversion platform built on the Base blockchain. It helps users — especially creators and builders in Africa — convert USDC (a stablecoin) into local currency quickly and send it to bank accounts or mobile money wallets (like M-PESA in Kenya). You get a single deposit address that accepts USDC and USDT from Base, Lisk, Polygon, or Celo. Send stablecoins from any of these chains, and Minisend converts them to local currency — settling directly to M-Pesa or your bank account.

Question 2

How much does Minisend cost?

Accepted Answer

Competitive fees with real-time exchange rates. Base transactions are gasless which means you pay zero gas fees for conversions on Base.
