Travel the world on a crypto eSIM.
One eSIM profile that works in 180+ countries. Pay in USDC, activate in 60 seconds, keep your IP private with built-in VPN. No SIM swaps, no roaming fees, no carrier signups in every new country.
The best eSIM for digital nomads.
For nomads who care about privacy and already pay in crypto, GeSIM is the only eSIM that combines on-chain payments, no-KYC activation, and a built-in VPN — in a single profile that follows you across borders.
What that means in practice:
- One profile, every country. No buying a new eSIM each time you land. Top up once in USDC, use it from Lisbon to Tokyo to Buenos Aires.
- No bank account needed. Most travel-eSIMs require a card. GeSIM is paid on-chain in stablecoins, which matters if you live abroad and your card gets flagged.
- Built-in VPN — a premium feature, unlocked by holding $GSIM. Banking apps that geo-block, streaming that follows your home country — handled with one toggle.
We documented 30 days of nomad use ourselves: we traveled with only GeSIM for 30 days — here's what broke.
Which countries does GeSIM cover?
180+ countries across all major regions. North America, Europe, LATAM, MENA, South and Southeast Asia, Oceania. The service is not available where restricted by law.
Coverage runs on top of partner MVNO networks. In each country, GeSIM connects to whichever local carrier has the strongest signal at your location, so the quality matches what residents experience — not the typical degraded roaming experience tourists get.
You don't need to pre-select countries. The same profile reattaches as you move.
Can I keep my home IP while abroad?
Yes. The built-in VPN lets you pick the exit country. Choose your home country to keep banking apps and streaming services unblocked while traveling.
Common use cases:
- Banking. US bank apps that lock when they see a foreign IP — set the exit to US, log in normally.
- Streaming. Keep your Netflix library when you cross a border.
- Work tools. SSO providers that flag overseas logins — eliminate the noise.
The VPN is a premium feature unlocked by holding $GSIM; once unlocked you can leave it on by default. You can switch exit country in the app without losing the connection.
