About

Peanut Protocol revolutionizes cross-chain crypto transfers through simple link sharing. Using secret-protected vault smart contracts, users can securely deposit tokens, share a unique link, and recipients can withdraw funds using the embedded secret—no complex wallet addresses needed. This DeFi solution simplifies blockchain payments across Ethereum and other networks, leveraging advanced technologies like Account Abstraction (ERC-4337) and secure smart contract architecture to make decentralized transactions accessible to everyone, regardless of technical expertise.
