Overview
Revuto is a subscription-payments app that lets you pay for services like streaming or software with virtual debit cards funded by crypto. You create a card for a subscription, top it up with USDT (a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar) or ADA, and use the card to pay that subscription1. Revuto offers these cards without a full KYC (know-your-customer) identity check1.
Revuto OU, a company registered in Estonia, runs the app2. REVU, the token Revuto uses for cashback and referral rewards, is a Cardano native token, meaning the Cardano blockchain itself records and transfers it, as it does ADA3. Cardano's Project Catalyst grant program funded Revuto's project to build subscription debit cards that Cardano tokens can top up4.
Key Features
- A separate card for each subscription. Revuto users create virtual debit cards meant only for subscription payments, up to three a month on the basic plan1.
- Two wallets in one app. The custodial Crypto Wallet, where Revuto's provider holds the keys, stores and swaps coins such as BTC, ETH, SOL, USDT, and ADA. A separate non-custodial Cardano wallet leaves the recovery phrase with you5.
- Free transfers to phone contacts. Revuto's Crypto Wallet sends funds to anyone in your phone's contact list with no fee. A recipient who is not yet on Revuto has 48 hours to sign up and claim the funds before they return to the sender5.
- Cashback for paying subscribers. Revuto Pro, the paid plan, adds more cards, lower top-up fees, and cashback earned in REVU1. The Earn page sets Pro cashback at 4% of subscription payments, with extra REVU from referred friends6.
What to Expect
Revuto is a phone app for iPhone, Android, and Huawei devices7. After signing up, you add USDT or ADA to the Crypto Wallet, open the Subscriptions section, set up a profile for the service, and request a virtual card8. Some merchants ask for a one-time security code when you first link the card, and Revuto delivers that code inside the app1.
The cards are built for recurring payments, so they do not work everywhere. Revuto blocks merchant types such as money transfers, investments, gambling, and luxury goods on its subscription cards1. For other purchases, Android users can also get a card issued from the Crypto Wallet and topped up with USDT, which can be added to Google Wallet for contactless payments9,10.
The Crypto Wallet runs on Fireblocks, a company that supplies wallet security systems to businesses, and handles quick swaps through an integration with the KuCoin exchange5. ADA and REVU move between the Crypto Wallet and the Cardano wallet without typing an address5. Revuto built the Cardano wallet together with AdaLite, a lightweight Cardano browser wallet11. REVU also trades outside the app, and Revuto's token site lists markets on KuCoin and Gate.io3.
