Our ultimate goal is to empower everyone to self-custody their Bitcoin in an easy, convenient and secure manner.

To be more specific we want to empower individuals at every stage of their Bitcoin custody journey, starting from receiving their first Bitcoin and extending all the way to spending it from a self-sovereign cold storage solution.

This journey involves several key steps, including generating a secure seed, funding a wallet, creating backups, facilitating recovery, and enabling seamless spending.

The part of the journey we are working on now is the backup and recovery.

We want to enable everyone to produce self-sovereign steel backups of Bitcoin wallets.

The process must be user friendly, intuitive and simple. Recovery should be as easy as scanning a QR - and for multisig: possible with the minimum amount of shares. The solution must be air gapped and trustless, based on open source software and robust enough to be used by anyone from sovereign individuals to nation states.

Peerswap

P2P Btc lighting network balancing pool

PeerSwap enables Lightning Network nodes to balance their channels by facilitating atomic swaps with direct peers. PeerSwap enhances decentralization of the Lightning Network by enabling all nodes to be their own swap provider. No centralized coordinator, no 3rd party rent collector, and lowest cost channel balancing means small nodes can better compete with large nodes.

PeerSwap currently has a working implementation for both CLN and LND nodes.

At the moment PeerSwap is suitable for power node operators with Linux command line skills. Implementations of control panel GUI interfaces are currently underway which will make PeerSwap easier to use for ordinary end users.

Opposite approach to most existing balancing methods.
If you balance channels only with direct peers it is very reliable.

Rather than opening more and bigger channels, you can cheaply refill channels you already have to the desired balance.

Fixes balance without harming other nodes.

Opening new channels is recommended not for the purpose of balancing, but if you want a more direct connection with a frequent source/destination node.

Multiple optional swap types.
Currently BTC & L-BTC onchain swaps.

Additional wallet options can be implemented.
