Cherum vs Multisender: batch payments on one chain vs. cross‑chain fan‑out
Where the two overlap, where they do not, and which one your list actually needs.
What Multisender does well
Multisender has been doing batch payments since 2018 and covers a lot of ground: 46+ EVM chains in one dApp, plus dedicated apps for Solana, TON, Tron, Sui and Aptos, NFT batch sends, CSV upload and pre-send simulation. If you hold one token and want it delivered to a long list of addresses on that same network, it's a proven tool with more chain coverage for that specific job than almost anyone.
Pricing is a flat service fee per batch, set per network in the native coin, on top of gas — and a VIP membership removes the service fee entirely, which pays off at large volumes.
Where Cherum is different
Every Multisender operation is one network, one token. Cherum handles the case where that isn't true: recipients on different chains, each receiving a different token, settled from a single signature. There's no standing approval of your token balance to a contract — you sign a Permit2 message scoped to the exact amount of this transfer. Bridging and swapping are built in, recipients get gas on arrival, and any leg that can't fill keeps its amount reserved for you to claim back on-chain — nobody else can touch it.
| Feature | Multisender | Cherum |
|---|---|---|
| Send to many recipients | Yes (large lists) | Yes |
| Multiple chains in one action | No — one network per operation | Yes |
| Different token per recipient | No — one token per operation | Yes |
| Built-in swap / bridge | No | Yes |
| Non-EVM chains | Yes — separate apps (Solana, TON, Tron, Sui, Aptos) | Yes — 26 networks in one flow, incl. Bitcoin, XRP, Cardano |
| NFT batch sends | Yes | No |
| Gas delivered to recipients | No | Yes |
| Token allowance | Contract approval for the batch total | Permit2 signature scoped to this transfer |
| CSV import | Yes | Yes |
| Custody | Non-custodial | Non-custodial |
| Cost | Flat service fee per batch (per network) + gas; VIP removes it | Small routing fee in the quote |
When to use which
Use Multisender when…
You're distributing one token (or NFTs) to many wallets on a single network you already hold it on — especially at volumes where the per-batch fee or VIP membership is cheap relative to the send.
Use Cherum when…
Recipients sit on different chains or want different tokens — contributors paid in USDC on Base, TON and Tron from one balance — and you want one signature instead of bridging and swapping first.
