Pearl Shell Overview

Pearl Shell is the daily home of MercyChain — the surface where a long, careful project arrives in your hand. It is available on the App Store, and it is your portal to the whole ecosystem: one account that opens everything.

A shell, not a wallet

We do not call it a wallet because a wallet is a tool for transactions. A shell is a vessel for what you have collected — and a place from which much else, in time, will come.

A shell belongs to a single human being. Two people cannot share one.

What lives inside

• Your collection — every pearl that has come to you, sorted by the moment it arrived
• The people closest to you, surfaced quietly
• The actions you take in a single tap: send a pearl, receive one, request one, or pass your shell to someone in front of you
• The "+" in the middle of the bottom bar — a door into R2E, where each new pearl begins its life

The home screen

A greeting. The full sum of what you carry — called your collection, never your balance. The denominations of the pearls you hold, if you choose to see them. A short row of recent activity. And the people, the SONO Card, and the actions you most often reach for.

Speaks when it has something to say

Pearl Shell speaks when you open it, and goes quiet when you close it. The daily ritual is brief by design — a few moments of presence, then the shell returns to rest. It earns your time only when there is something worth saying.

No fee to hold

Holding a shell costs nothing. Small network fees apply only when a pearl moves between two shells, taken from the pearl in transit. Holding, reading, gathering — none of those carry a fee.
