Tabi has been continuously building in the consumer crypto space, building infrastructure like our L1 blockchain, focused on distribution & scalability, as well as ecosystem dApps, focused on onboarding users from Web2 social platforms & offering new yet simplified experiences.
And as we build, the world around us evolves rapidly, both within our Web3 world and the wider Web2 world, with real institutional and consumer adoption of crypto.
We now have:
Dozens of Crypto ETFs approved, with pension funds & corporate treasuries already allocated to crypto
The largest banks, like JP Morgan launching crypto services and even their own stablecoin for settlements
Payment incumbents like Stripe with billion-dollar acquisitions of startups like Bridge and Privy
Therefore, as we build, we watch, adapt, and remind ourselves of the 3 things that matter the most:
1. To build leveraging the most important qualities of Web3
Decentralization: Distributed & open ecosystems unlock accessibility
Provenance: Guaranteed provenance & security unlock cost efficiencies and real-time settlements
Composability & Interoperability: Permissionless creation on top of & across others unlocks new use-cases, choices, and experiences
2. To build optimizing for the use-cases proven to actually have PMF
Payments and settlements
DeFi and open financial products & services
Consumer dApps with unique experiences baked in, that would otherwise be impossible without crypto
3. To build for what truly matters in the long run
Mass adoption of Web3, because all of the above unlocks Financial Sovereignty
Tabi is the world’s first decentralized network for consumer finance.
Our vision is straightforward - To empower the world’s 8 billion population with financial sovereignty by building the crypto rails necessary for inclusive financial systems, thus unlocking economic opportunities for everyone.
To put it simply - Financial Sovereignty for 8 Billy.
This is how we achieve mainstream adoption.
Tabi tackles the opportunities of:
Crypto can greatly improve the inefficiencies & inaccessibility of legacy financial systems, in order to empower the unbanked
Web2 Social has proven to be & is the only way to solve the persistent distribution problem in Web3
Web2 users once onboarded onto crypto rails will want access to safer institutional/RWA-backed yields, and not purely degen APY
So how does Tabi capture this opportunity?
By leveraging TabiChain and TabiPay, Tabi combines Web3 technology with a Web2 onboarding and user experience, building a consumer finance network on top of the most popular Web2 social platforms like TikTok.
Tabi aggregates both user AND capital liquidity across social platforms, brings them on-chain to TabiChain, and bridges underbanked capital with RWA & institutional yield opportunities via TabiPay, while at the same time directing these Web2 users to Web3 crypto consumer dApps and financial opportunities.
In a nutshell, TabiChain is a next gen, full-stack Consumer L1 chain, that serves as the underlying blockchain infrastructure for Consumer Finance within the Tabi ecosystem.
TabiChain is:
Powered by Polymorphic VM (PVM), that empowers developers to use Web2 programming languages to deploy Web3 dApps with multi-chain compatibility
Fueled by Proof-of-Attention (PoA) tokenomics, whereby users and capital alike are incentivized to direct their productive attention on TabiChain, be it to any kind of dApp or yield sources
A truly abstracted consumer experience, with our focus of building on top of Web2 social platforms, creating multi-platform & multi-chain interoperable dApps
All players within the ecosystem can be rewarded for their attention & liquidity and are equipped with the potential to bootstrap flywheel effects from 0 to 1.
As blockchain infrastructure - TabiChain is purpose-built for maximum distribution and mass adoption of Web3 consumer finance.
On top of TabiChain is TabiPay, the first Web3 financial layer built on top of TikTok, optimized for consumer finance, starting with TikTok consumer use-cases.
TabiPay serves as the entry point to onboard billions of Web2 users onto crypto rails, equipping them with their own sovereign Web3 wallet, to access all the financial opportunities that both Web3 and Web2 have to offer.

Tabi Liquidity Pool, building open on-chain liquidity solutions. Tabi’s initial key partner to provide RWA yields is Formic.
Formic is a digital asset and cross-border payments service provider, with a strong track record and experience in providing financial services to global enterprises, already operating in scale with monthly transaction volumes of hundreds of millions in USD.
Together with Formic, Tabi can ensure that funds deployed through the LP are:
Verifiable – Every loan is traceable and controllable, with strict access control in place, & only regulated tier 1 and 2 licensed institutions with comprehensive KYB are accepted
Legally-Protected – Institutions must provide proof of funds flow and commit to using collected funds as source of repayments + provide first-loss protections with legal agreements to aim for zero bad debts
Compliant – Formic holds the required licenses to meet compliance needs globally, including US MSB, HK MSO, EU EMI, etc.
Apart from Formic, Tabi will also onboard multiple service providers in the future, providing users with more diversity in RWA yield sources, to both maximize yield and minimize risk, according to users’ preferences and risk tolerance.
Cross-border and offline payments in emerging markets such as SEA, LATAM, and Africa regions have become fully accessible and unlocked. Users can freely make payments locally offline via QR code scanning for instance & make cross-border payments with the lowest fees available, settled via TabiChain.
On-chain credit systems built on individuals’ financial profiles, social capital, and consumer behavior from TikTok as well as businesses’ past cashflows and repayment history, all recorded & analyzed on-chain. Anyone within the Tabi ecosystem can then build upon & leverage these to create better consumer dApps & consumer finance experiences.
Long-tail creator economy where even small to mid-creators (starting from TikTok) are empowered as they can receive small payments & revenue streams without restrictions, take out short-term, micro-loans based on their predicted future income, or even earn future revenue in advance based on their IP and goods/services produced.
Diverse RWA yield ecosystem built on TabiChain where additional protocols can be developed & yield sources can be specialized based on varying risk parameters, with yields coming from businesses requiring capital for OTC businesses, for trade finance & receivables financing, or even from micro-P2P loan pools, etc.
All other consumer crypto dApps that want to leverage the Tabi ecosystem for distribution and user growth, built upon a robust consumer finance network with real Web2 users looking for new consumer experiences and crypto-yield opportunities.
Tabi’s mission has always been Web3 mass adoption, and we’ve already achieved:
20M wallets and 100M transactions on our previous TabiChain testnets
10M+ users within the Tabi ecosystem, from our existing dApps built on top of Telegram, X, and Line
Millions in revenue generated from our ecosystem dApps & partners already
Now with TabiPay as our flagship dApp, Tabi will be one step closer to our goal, with Tabi serving as the consumer finance network for:
The average user in SEA who is still under-banked, without access to low-cost payments & adequate financial services
The small-medium sized business that lacks 24/7 available capital to operate efficiently & grow fully
The aspiring content creator who’s not quite big enough to earn stable income on TikTok yet
The crypto-native degen who has wallet & app fatigue, and just needs a single place to manage both their crypto and real-world financial & spending needs
And our vision is much larger.
But first we start off by onboarding Web2 users onto TabiPay via TikTok with a product that actually adds value & fun to their lives.
Then we onboard them onto the wider Web3 ecosystem via TabiChain.
And finally, we work towards our end destination - where everyone in the world is onboarded onto crypto rails, because we believe Web3 does actually open up access to inclusive financial systems & services, and Web3 can actually empower the average person with financial freedom & greater economic opportunities.
Tabi becomes financial sovereignty for 8 billy.
