## Quick summary

ChainATM differs from the rest on five axes:
- **AI-first interface** (voice on iOS, text on web — plain language, no slash commands)
- **Self-custody by default** (unlike Bankr, Maestro, or the Coinbase exchange product)
- **Built-in fiat onramp at 0% on USDC and EURC** (unlike wallets that route to MoonPay/Transak with their fees)
- **Cross-chain in one command** (LI.FI routing across 9 networks)
- **Buy + swap + send in one chat** (unlike pure onramps, pure agents, or memecoin bots)
