Today, we are announcing our integration with TipLink.

TipLink enables users to send digital assets, such as crypto and NFTs, to anyone via a link or QR code. To receive these digital assets, recipients simply have to click on the link or scan the QR code — regardless of whether they have a crypto wallet or not. By abstracting the complexity of blockchains, TipLink aims to drive broader adoption of crypto, bridging the gap between tech-savvy users and the general public.

By integrating TipLink, you can now create and use a Squads account with your email. Also, TipLink enables you to send tokens — such as SOL, USDC, and more — simply by entering the email address of the recipient. This feature is particularly useful to enterprises using Squads for paying contractors and service providers who do not have a crypto wallet.

By avoiding wallet addresses — which come as long, complex strings of alphanumeric characters, and are prone to errors when copied or typed manually — the overall transaction experience can also be made more intuitive and user-friendly.

Apart from that, wallet addresses can also expose users to phishing attacks, where malicious actors trick them into sending funds to fraudulent addresses that look similar to legitimate ones. With our TipLink integration, however, we're able to prevent this right from the outset.

TipLinks that are sent through Squads can only be accessed through the email account of the intended recipient. And if a TipLink has been sent to a wrong email address or the TipLink funds are not being claimed, Squads enables you to recover the associated tokens back to the vault.
