Fedi: The Bitcoin Wallet for P2P Communities
Details
## 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.
- Social Backup: Say goodbye to losing your seed phrase. Learn how Fedi's innovative Social Backup helps users safely recover access to their wallets with the help of their own community.
- 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.
## Who Is This For?
- Community Leaders & Activists looking for local, parallel financial tools.
- Bitcoin & Privacy Enthusiasts eager to see how the Fedimint protocol functions in practice.
