Fedi: The Bitcoin Wallet for P2P Communities
About the Event
While standard self-custody can be intimidating and third-party custody risks your privacy, Fedi offers a revolutionary third way: Federated Custody. Built on the open-source Fedimint protocol, Fedi combines a Bitcoin wallet, encrypted chat, and community "Spaces" into a single, privacy-first superapp designed for real-world communities.
Whether you are a community organizer, a developer, or a Bitcoin enthusiast, this session will explore how Fedi empowers local ecosystems to secure their money, chat privately, and build localized peer-to-peer economies without relying on centralized tech giants.
What We’ll Cover
The Power of Federated Custody: How Fedi utilizes a network of trusted "Guardians" to manage funds, offering a beginner-friendly middle ground between hard self-custody and risky third-party exchanges.
Privacy-First P2P Tech: A look into how Fedi integrates Chaumian e-cash and the Lightning Network for fast, secure, and completely private user-to-user in-chat payments.
Customizing with Mini Apps (Mods): How developers and community leaders can use open standards like WebLN and Nostr to build in-app web tools—ranging from local merchant maps to AI assistants—giving communities complete control over their digital tools.
