Everyone keeps calling EdgeURL a link-in-bio tool. It isn't. Here's the category we're actually building -- and why the old frame breaks three ways.
This article framed EdgeURL as a link shortener that does extra. That frame was wrong. Read the current take on what we actually are.
Create shortened links, generate QR codes, and track analytics with EdgeURL.
Thank you to everyone who's signed up during the public beta. We are a small startup, and the people who showed up early shaped what's in the product right now.
I'm Luis. I'm the founder.
The link-in-bio category stops short of what creators actually need: a single place their presence lives, so every new follower, link, or agent call accrues to the same identity.
A bio page is a poster on a wall. An identity is a graph. One record that routes traffic, earns trust, surfaces you in Discover, and is usable by both humans and AI agents.
That's why EdgeURL is a Social Identity Platform, not a Linktree alternative. The bio page is real and most of you will use it. It's also the smallest piece.
Prove you control an account on Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, GitHub, Reddit, Threads, Bluesky, Facebook, Pinterest, Snapchat, Twitch, Medium, Substack, or Spotify, and your profile shows a checkmark. Anyone landing there knows it's actually you.
Through our AT Protocol bridge, you can claim @ as your Bluesky handle in two clicks. Most people pay for a domain to do this. You don't have to.
Some social platforms actively block scraping from servers, so verifying those accounts used to be awkward. Now you scan a QR code on your phone, copy your verification code with one tap, paste it into your bio, screenshot, and upload.
EdgeURL is the only identity platform with a live Model Context Protocol server. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or your own agent to mcp.edgeurl.io. Approve specific scopes. Read your links, create new ones, update your bio, never anything destructive without explicit permission. Every action gets a hash-chained, cryptographically signed receipt that you can verify offline. Revoke access at any time.
The ai Bearer tokens are scoped to specific actions, rate-limited per token, and auditable per call. You don't share your session cookie with an agent. You don't share your sk API key. The agent has its own credential, its own permissions, and its own attribution.
EdgeURL does not run your store. You paste a product link from Shopify, Etsy, Gumroad, Bandcamp, or your own site. We render a clean product card on your bio with image, title, price, and an in-stock indicator if you set one. When someone clicks, they land on your existing checkout. We never see the sale and we don't take a cent because there's nothing to take. The transaction stays between you and the customer.
Same model as the Store. EdgeURL doesn't process tips. Link your PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, Ko-fi, Patreon, or your own custom payment URL, and a Tip button appears on your profile. When someone clicks, they land on the tipping platform you chose. We never see the money.
This is the one place we run actual rails. Set rates and availability on your bio. When someone books, you and the client chat in the platform, AI drafts a contract from your conversation, and Stripe Connect handles payment. We take fifteen percent. You keep eighty-five.
Lose access to your email and the recovery flow is forgot-password style, keyed on your username. The way every other app works. No security-question theater. No social-platform proof gauntlet. Type your username and click the link.
Your email is masked everywhere. Not on your profile, not in support views. The only canonical identity others see is the username you choose.
On every plan, including Free.
Bio Pro adds full custom CSS for designing your own.
Real-time click analytics that don't sell your visitors' data. Custom domains, smart routing by device or location or time, A/B testing, and a UTM builder unlock on paid plans.
If you've been telling yourself you'll set up your links properly someday, this is a low-friction someday. The Free plan is real and stays free. Claim a username, verify a couple of handles, drop your products in.
If you've been burned by platforms that hiked prices the moment you depended on them, the pricing is published. We don't take a cut of your store. Hire Me is the only place we charge a percentage.
If your work spans a dozen platforms and you've been waiting for one address that ties them together, that's the product.
We're building this with the people who show up early. Your feedback has shaped what landed this month. Keep telling us what's missing.
EdgeURL is still in public beta. The product is here, the rails are running, and we're shipping with the people who showed up first. We're slowly building the team around it, and I'm looking for someone in New York City to help grow EdgeURL from beta into something creators rely on.
Here's the shape of it: founding partner. Equity-share now, salary as we grow. You grow as we grow.
What I'm looking for: experience across sales, tech, AI, negotiation, and leadership. If you don't tick every box but you're clearly the right person, send the message anyway.
If you're also into anime, that's a plus.
Interested? Reach out through any of the socials on edgeurl.io/p/rex0lux.
If you haven't signed up yet, the door is at edgeurl.io. Your username is probably still available.
