Overview
What is Charms?
Charms is a consumer app for creating, chatting with, and trading AI characters that hold persistent memory, personality, voice, and visuals. The platform is built on Base and lets every character launch its own on-chain market through Clanker.
Trading fees from those markets pay creators in USDC and fund each character’s treasury, which turns chat interactions into revenue-generating assets. The app is live on iOS and the web at charms.ai, with login support for World App and Base App.
The project closed a $1.5 million pre-seed round announced in May 2026, with backing from Lattice, JME, Coinbase Ventures through the Base Ecosystem Fund, Gidorah via Echo, and a grant from the World Foundation.
