What they use Compass for, in the words they sent us, with their record on Compass beside it so you can check every number yourself.
Elfa AI, in their own words.
Compass' API access to Telegram contacts has made cold outreach so much easier. X DMs are clunky, and email isn't always the best channel in crypto. Plugging into Compass' API lets me reach the right people directly on Telegram, making outreach far more effective.

The API they're talking about.
Yong Ming Yang is describing our developer API. Keys are self-serve, the docs are public, and every line below is in them.
- Five endpoints/api/v1/me, /projects, /people, /investors, /search.
- The revealGET /api/v1/people/{id}?include=private returns the channels we hold for one contact: telegram, email, phone and LinkedIn.
- One at a timeThe list endpoint answers 400 if you ask it for private channels. Reveals happen per contact, on purpose.
- CreditsA data call costs 5. The first reveal of a contact costs 10. /api/v1/me is free.
- Reveals are permanentRead the same contact again later and it costs 5, with the channels still there.
- Scopesread:metadata for data, read:contacts for the reveal.
- Same price as the appA reveal is 10 credits either way. The API exists so it can run inside your own tools, on your own schedule.

Digital Liquidity Partners, in their own words.
At DLP we're constantly sourcing token projects ahead of listing, and the hard part was never identifying who to talk to — it was reaching them.
Sent to us on 31 August 2026Compass solved that. We use it to prospect against our target list, pull verified contacts for the people actually making liquidity decisions, and request warm intros where a cold Telegram wouldn't land. The people layer is what sets it apart: crypto runs on Telegram, and Compass is the only tool we've found that treats that as first-class data rather than an afterthought. Research that used to take an afternoon now takes one search.

The people layer they're talking about.
Evan is describing the app: the record, the channels on it, and the intros. Every line below is a thing Compass does today.
- Telegram is a column, not a noteA contact carries telegram, telegramVerified and telegramSource as first-class fields, beside email, phone and LinkedIn.
- The revealUnlocking one contact returns the channels we hold for them. It costs 10 credits the first time and 5 on every later read.
- Warm introsWhere we hold a Telegram handle, you can ask us to send the intro instead of sending a cold message.
- Anyone can askThe intro button renders for every viewer. Your plan decides what the click does, not whether you can see it.
- Target listsWatchlists hold the companies and people you are working, so a prospect list is a saved view rather than a spreadsheet.
- Search across the recordOne search covers companies, people, investors and service providers, which is what turns an afternoon of research into a query.
Start with the same record.
The app is where Evan works. The API is what Yong Ming Yang built against. Keys are self-serve and the docs are public.
