The Walkaway Test
Would your funds survive if MoniPay disappeared tonight?
The Walkaway Test is a simple question: If MoniPay as a company disappeared tonight, what would happen to your money?
Answer for MoniPay: Your funds would be perfectly safe.
Why Your Funds Survive
- On-Chain Reality: Your USDC/USDT lives on-chain (Base/BSC) — verifiable by anyone with a block explorer.
- Local Keys: Your encrypted key lives on your device, not on MoniPay's servers.
- Immutable Contracts: The
MoniPayRoutersmart contract is deployed and immutable. It doesn't need MoniPay the company to function. - Standard Recovery: You can export your private key and import it into any standard wallet like MetaMask or Rabby.
The Hammer vs. Dishwasher
Think of a traditional bank like a dishwasher. If the manufacturer goes bust and the machine breaks, you can't get your dishes out without a specialist.
MoniPay is like a hammer. If the company that made the hammer goes out of business, the hammer still works exactly the same way. It's a tool you own, not a service you rent.
