iMe

iMe is a feature-extended Telegram alternative that layers an AI assistant, a multichain self-custodial crypto wallet, and DeFi tooling directly into a familiar messaging interface. Built on Telegram's open-source code and running on the Telegram API, iMe retains full compatibility with existing Telegram contacts, chats, groups, and channels while adding capabilities absent from the standard client.

The Problem iMe Addresses

Accessing AI tools and managing crypto assets typically requires switching between several separate applications. iMe targets the friction this creates for users who want AI assistance and on-chain activity without leaving their primary chat environment. Because it is built on Telegram's infrastructure, existing Telegram users can switch clients without losing conversation history or contacts.

How iMe Works

iMe is distributed as a native app for Android and iOS and as a desktop client. It authenticates against Telegram servers using the Telegram API, so all contacts and chat history remain in sync with standard Telegram. The additional layers — AI assistant, wallet, DeFi tools — are proprietary additions built on top of that foundation.

The app crossed 12.5 million downloads on Google Play and the App Store as of 2025.

Key Features

AI Assistant iMe integrates a free AI assistant powered by multiple large language models including ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. Users access it directly inside chats without geographic restrictions or separate subscriptions. The assistant handles text generation, translation, summarization, and code tasks within the messaging interface.

Neurobots Neurobots are user-created AI agents trained on personal datasets and minted as NFTs on the iMe platform. Ownership is recorded on-chain, giving creators verifiable rights over their trained models. Users can deploy neurobots for their own use or sell them on the iMe AI marketplace.

Multichain Crypto Wallet The built-in wallet is self-custodial with Multi-Seed support, meaning users hold their own private keys. It spans 20 integrated blockchains and allows users to send tokens directly inside chat conversations — the same way they would share a photo. The wallet functions as both an integrated client feature and as a Telegram Mini App, covering all device types.

DeFi Aggregation Token swaps are handled through integrations with 1inch, Changelly, and Symbiosis, aggregating liquidity across DEXs without requiring users to leave the app. Staking campaigns are also accessible inside the wallet interface.

CryptoBoxes CryptoBoxes are token envelopes that admins or users can send inside group chats, similar to the red envelope mechanic in some Asian messaging apps. Recipients claim tokens directly in the chat. LIME tokens are used to pay for CryptoBox creation and as gas for related transactions.

Productivity Tools Beyond crypto, iMe adds a built-in to-do list, cloud storage enhancements, a picture-to-text reader, improved folder and topic management, a Google Translate integration in chats, and advanced chat sorting.

LIME Token

LIME is iMe's native utility token. It was originally issued on Solana, but the project migrated it to BNB Smart Chain in 2025. iMe stated publicly that Solana's ecosystem had become dominated by short-lived meme trends and that BNB Chain offered a more stable environment for a utility-focused token tied to a large application. Solana LIME balances were swapped to BNB Chain equivalents and the Solana-side tokens were burned. Exchange users had swaps handled automatically; self-custody holders contacted the iMe team directly.

Post-migration, LIME exists on three chains: BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20, primary with active liquidity), Ethereum (ERC-20, limited liquidity), and Polygon. The BNB contract address is 0x7bc75e291e656e8658d66be1cc8154a3769a35dd.

Supply and market data (as of mid-2025):

• Total supply: approximately 996 million LIME
• Circulating supply: approximately 754 million LIME (75.7%)
• Market cap: approximately $1.3 million USD
• Trading pairs active on Gate.io and AscendEx

Token utility:

• Grants iMe Premium access to higher-tier holders at no additional subscription cost
• Used to pay for CryptoBox creation and gas
• Earns staking rewards (campaigns offered up to 70% APR on partner exchanges)
• Will be used for NFT avatar creation, group and channel promotion, and DAO governance voting in planned future releases
• Deflationary mechanism: a portion of fees collected by the platform is used to burn LIME monthly

Security and Custody

The iMe wallet is non-custodial. Private keys remain with the user, and Multi-Seed support allows managing multiple seed phrases within a single interface. The wallet is available as an integrated client feature and as a standalone Telegram Mini App, with state synchronized across devices.

Background and Team

iMe Smart Platform was founded in 2019. The team has not disclosed detailed founder information publicly. The project is community-published on Solana Compass, reflecting its original Solana presence via the LIME token. Development appears continuous based on app store update history and migration announcements made through 2025.

Solana Connection

iMe's link to Solana is historical rather than current. The LIME token had a Solana-native contract during an earlier phase of the project's token strategy. That contract has since been sunset as part of the migration to BNB Chain. iMe does not list Solana among the 20 blockchains supported in its multichain wallet at the time of writing, and there are no on-chain programs registered to the project on Solana. The project remains active on BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Polygon.
