Sivar by Modveon moves money between the US and El Salvador for a flat $2. Any amount. That single pricing choice is the whole story and it is not a promotion. Every remittance product ever built charges a percentage, because the incumbent's cost scales with the capital it fronts and the risk it carries. Onchain, those inputs stop scaling. Settling $20,000 costs what settling $20 costs. So a flat fee is not a discount, it is the real cost structure finally becoming visible. At $200 that works out to 1%. At $2,000 it is 0.1%. Now watch what it does to behavior. Percentage pricing punishes the large transfer, which is why families split payments across months or push serious sums through cash couriers and informal networks that charge nothing visible and carry every other kind of risk. A flat fee turns the big transfer into the cheapest item on the menu. That is the exact segment banks assumed nobody could take from them. El Salvador took in $6.8B through August this year, 92.2% of it from the United States, reaching 1.6 million people. Those transfers settle on @base in seconds now. So which is the real unlock here, the $2, or the fact that sending $10,000 finally costs what sending $100 costs?
