One small vote for Bitrefill, one giant cashback for you

The vote has concluded, and the results are summarized below.

Ambire’s App Catalog first appeared in our web wallet in 2022 as a curated, whitelisted way to use apps safely inside the wallet—reducing phishing risk and cutting tab-hopping for a faster, cleaner UX. With the Ambire Wallet Extension, that idea evolves into a community-curated catalog: you’re at the center of decision-making, with the power to choose and vote on what gets listed.

By popular demand, we’re kicking off a series of community votes to decide which apps will get listed next in the catalog. First up: Bitrefill. If approved, Bitrefill will launch in Ambire with an exclusive 20% cashback on your first order (only for Ambire users).

What is Bitrefill?

Bitrefill lets you buy digital gift cards, eSIMs, Phone top-ups/, and travel cards using crypto, with near-instant digital delivery. Popular brands include Amazon, Starbucks, Airbnb, Uber, Netflix, and more. It supports payments in ETH, BTC, SOL, stablecoins like USDC/USDT, and 6000+ other ERC-20 tokens which can be swapped to a store credit in USD via Li.Fi Pay. Web3 wallets like Ambire are natively supported.

Proposal overview

If approved, Bitrefill will appear as a featured app in Ambire. You’ll be able to pay for purchases using ETH, BTC, SOL, stablecoins, and other ERC-20s (via Li.Fi Pay to USD store credit) and get instant digital delivery - plus the exclusive 20% first-order cashback for Ambire users at launch.
