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.
