Split expenses. Settle instantly on-chain.
The on-chain Splitwise for wallet-native groups.
Settle shared costs in stablecoins across chains.
Stop chasing friends for money after the trip.
The on-chain Splitwise for wallet-native groups.
This is the clearest category frame because the page explicitly positions itself against Splitwise's biggest weakness: tracking is easy, collection is not. The product is not just an expense logger; it completes the money movement.
The fastest way to settle shared expenses in stablecoins across chains.
The product supports USDC/USDT, six mainnets, and claims sub-30-second settlement with near-zero fees. That makes speed and cross-chain flexibility a stronger differentiator than generic bill splitting.
Stop chasing friends for money after the trip ends.
The page leans hard into the emotional pain of awkward reminders and dead-end payment methods. This angle works because Owe3 turns the final step of reimbursement into a wallet signature instead of a social chore.
Primary user
Crypto-native roommates and travel groups who already use wallets and need to settle shared costs without Venmo or bank transfers
ICP #1
Crypto-native traveler coordinating a 6-12 person international trip
Pain
Everyone owes different amounts, people are in different countries, and traditional apps break down when Venmo, Wise, or local bank transfers don't work cleanly.
Why this solves
Owe3 keeps the split in-app and settles directly in stablecoins on-chain, so the group can clear balances without chasing bank details or dealing with cross-border transfer friction.
ICP #2
Roommate in a Web3-savvy household splitting rent and bills
Pain
Shared household expenses are constant, annoying to reconcile, and hard to collect when roommates use different payment rails or avoid paying on time.
Why this solves
Owe3 supports recurring-style group expense tracking with live balances and instant on-chain settlement, making it easier to clear rent, utilities, and shared household costs with one wallet flow.
ICP #3
Small Web3 agency or freelance pod paying contributors in USDC
Pain
Project payouts get messy when one invoice has to be divided across designers, developers, and PMs, especially when the team spans countries and wallets.
Why this solves
Owe3's exact and percentage splits plus direct USDC settlement make it a practical alternative to spreadsheet-based payout reconciliation and manual transfers.
Strengths
- +The Splitwise comparison is sharp and instantly understandable: it nails the gap between tracking and actually collecting money.
- +The page uses concrete proof points that matter to the target user, like '<$0.002 per settlement,' '<30s time to settle,' and support for multiple chains.
- +The real-life scenarios are strong because they map the product to actual use cases: roommates, Bali trips, office lunches, and freelance payouts.
Weaknesses
- −The product is overloaded with crypto jargon for a mainstream bill-splitting audience; 'non-custodial,' 'Base,' and 'on-chain' are not self-evident benefits to normal users.
- −The landing page doesn't show the actual product UI enough, so it's hard to understand how expense creation, group management, and settlement workflows work in practice.
- −The phrase 'on-chain' is repeated so often that the copy starts to feel like a thesis statement instead of a buyer-facing explanation.
- −The audience is too broad on the page: friends, roommates, travel groups, offices, and freelance payouts are all different ICPs with different motivations and acquisition channels.
- −The fee messaging is slightly confusing because it says '0% platform fee · today' but also mentions a future capped protocol fee, which may create trust questions if not explained better.
Fix these
- Split the homepage into two versions or two above-the-fold paths: one for travel/roommates and one for crypto-native stablecoin users.
- Show the actual flow with screenshots or a short product demo: add expense, balance updates, settle in wallet, transaction confirmation.
- Replace some crypto-native language with user outcomes: 'no bank details,' 'no chasing,' 'no foreign transfer failures,' 'no IOU tabs.'
- Add trust and safety proof: explain smart contract security, how settlements work, and what happens if a wallet is wrong or a transaction fails.
- Lead with the strongest wedge use case, probably travel groups and roommates, instead of trying to be everything from Splitwise to freelancer payroll.

Headline
Split bills. Settle in stablecoins.
For roommates, trips, and teams that already use wallets.
Split the way real groups do
Use equal, exact, or percentage-based splits for dinners, rent, trips, and project costs. Owe3 handles weird bills without forcing everyone into the same formula.
See who owes what in real time
Balances update live as expenses are added, so nobody has to keep mental math in a group chat. The whole group sees the same numbers instantly.
Settle without bank details
When it’s time to pay up, users sign a wallet transaction and send USDC or USDT directly. No card linking, no IBANs, no chasing people for transfers.
Built for crypto-native groups
Base is the default network, with support for other EVM chains too. That makes it a better fit for people who already move money on-chain.
FAQ
Do I need to be a crypto expert to use this?
No. If you already use a wallet, you can use Owe3. The app is designed around simple actions: add a bill, see balances, settle.
What tokens do you support?
Owe3 supports USDC and USDT for settlement.
What networks work?
Base is the default network, with support for Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, and Ethereum.
What happens if I split something weird?
You can split expenses equally, by exact amounts, or by percentage. That covers most group bills, from a simple dinner to a mixed trip expense.
Is this only for friends on trips?
No. It also works for roommates, remote teams, freelance pods, and any group that needs to track and settle shared costs.
Splitwise stops at tracking. Owe3 settles. Split expenses with roommates, trips, or your Web3 team. Equal, exact, or percentage splits. Live balances. Settle in USDC or USDT with one wallet signature. No bank details. No chasing. Just done.
We built the app for one annoying job: figuring out who owes what after the trip ends. If your group already uses wallets, why move money through Venmo, Wise, or bank transfers? Track it in Owe3. Settle it on-chain.
Three people. Six currencies. One mess. That’s what shared expenses look like for crypto-native travel groups. Owe3 keeps the split in one place and lets everyone settle directly in USDC or USDT. No more "I'll send it tomorrow."
Watch a group bill disappear in 20 seconds: 1. Add the expense 2. Split equally, exactly, or by % 3. See balances update live 4. Sign once in your wallet 5. Done in USDC or USDT Beyond the spreadsheet, we settle on-chain.
The best compliment so far: "This is what Splitwise should've been for crypto people." That was the whole idea. Track shared expenses like normal. Settle them like you actually live on-chain.
Roommates deserve better than IOUs. Rent, utilities, groceries, random dinner tabs - all in one group. Owe3 keeps balances visible and settlement wallet-native, so nobody has to ask for a bank transfer again.
The hardest part wasn’t splitting money. It was making settlement feel as easy as adding the bill. So we made Owe3 work with Base by default, plus other EVM chains, and kept the flow to one clean wallet signature.
If your group uses wallets, Venmo is just extra friction. Why collect bank details, wait on transfers, or deal with cross-border nonsense? Split in Owe3. Settle in USDC or USDT. Move on with your life.
Exact splits are great until the bill is weird. Some items shared 50/50. Some charged by percentage. Some exact amounts. Owe3 handles all three, then shows everyone’s live balance so nobody has to math in the group chat.
Freelance pods keep asking for this. Designers, devs, PMs, contractors - one invoice, split across wallets, settle in stablecoins. That’s the use case we kept hearing again and again. So we built the simplest version of it.
Angle: Why we built the on-chain Splitwise wedge
Most expense apps solve the easy part. They let you log the bill. They do not solve the annoying part: actually getting paid. That gap is exactly why we built Owe3. For crypto-native roommates, travel groups, and small teams, the old flow breaks down fast: - Venmo doesn’t work for everyone - bank transfers are slow and clunky - cross-border payments are a headache - chasing people in chat is a waste of time Owe3 lets groups split expenses equally, exactly, or by percentage. Balances update live. When it’s time to settle, users sign a wallet transaction and funds move directly in USDC or USDT. No custodial nonsense. No spreadsheet archaeology. No "I’ll send it later." The bigger lesson: if your users already live in wallets, don’t force them back into bank rails just to reimburse each other. Meet them where the money already is. We’re launching with travel groups and roommates first, because that’s the sharpest pain. Then we’ll keep expanding from there.
Angle: A founder story about shipping to a narrow ICP first
We almost made Owe3 too broad. Roommates. Travel groups. Remote teams. Freelancers. Agencies. All valid. All different. The mistake would’ve been trying to speak to everyone at once. So we started with the wedge that hurts most: crypto-native groups that already use wallets and need a clean way to settle shared expenses. That means: - a group trip with 8 people in 4 countries - a shared house where everyone pays differently - a small Web3 team splitting lunches, tools, or contractor payouts The product is simple on purpose: add expense, split it, track balances, settle in stablecoins. Not because simplicity is trendy. Because the friction is social, not technical. The app should disappear once the money moves. That’s what we’re optimizing for. Fewer clicks. Fewer reminders. Less “who still owes what?” If you’ve ever been the person collecting money after a trip, you already know why this matters.
Angle: Trust, clarity, and avoiding crypto jargon
A lot of crypto products make one mistake: they explain the infrastructure before they explain the outcome. Users do not care about your stack. They care that they can split a dinner bill without hunting for bank details. They care that travel reimbursements actually clear. They care that the transaction is quick, predictable, and visible. That’s the bar we set for Owe3. Yes, it’s on-chain. Yes, it supports USDC and USDT. Yes, it works on Base by default and other EVM networks too. But the user-facing promise is simpler: split shared costs, see live balances, settle instantly. We also know trust matters. If a wallet is wrong, the transaction needs to fail safely. If a payment doesn’t go through, the group should understand what happened. If people are moving real money, the flow has to be obvious. The product should feel boring in the best possible way. That’s the whole point. I’d rather have users say “that was easy” than “cool tech.”

Split bills and settle in stablecoins
Description
Owe3 is the on-chain Splitwise for wallet-native groups. Split shared expenses equally, exactly, or by percentage, track live balances, and settle directly in USDC or USDT.
Maker's first comment
We built Owe3 because shared expenses kept breaking down at the exact moment people wanted to settle up. Trips end, roommates move around, teammates are in different countries, and suddenly the simple part becomes a pile of DMs, bank details, and “I’ll send it later.” Owe3 keeps the split in one place and makes settlement a wallet action instead of a social chore. Add an expense, split it the way your group actually uses money, watch balances update, then settle directly in USDC or USDT. We’re starting with the people who already live in wallets: crypto-native roommates, travel groups, and small teams. I’d love feedback on the workflow, the clarity of the value prop, and whether the app feels obvious enough for someone who has never used an on-chain payment product before.
Pinned maker comment
Would love feedback on two things: 1) does the product instantly make sense to someone who’s used Splitwise, and 2) is the settlement flow obvious and trustworthy enough that you’d actually use it with friends?
