, but starting today you can buy Bitcoin directly into self-custody with a few simple taps, more easily redeem Bitcoin vouchers from both Azte.co and BTCPay servers, and discover new peer-to-peer, no-KYC exchanges.

At the core of this update to Envoy is a brand-new integration with Ramp. Easy, one-click address verification with Passport

I am glad to see that you are including no-KYC options as well as KYC options

Is there a website or PWA option? Or only app download?

Always! We're huge fans and many on our team are no-KYC only so it will always be a focus for us. Definitely more to come on the no-KYC side of things down the line.

Is there a website or PWA option? Or only app download?

App download only, but you can get it from app stores or directly from our F-droid repo or Github itself. Lots of options for those fleeing the Apple/Google walled gardens.

"directly to their Envoy accounts. "

What does this mean? Bitcoin doesn't have accounts. Is this like a waiting area until some fraud-prevention time has passed, before users can transfer to self-custody?

Bitcoin absolutely does have accounts! Each wallet derived from a seed can use separate accounts (each with their own derivation path) to segment off funds.

You can have one seed but many "buckets" of funds to keep things segregated, i.e. KYC and no-KYC funds, business funds vs personal, etc. Both Envoy and Passport support accounts.

Accounts are a core part of the BIP 32 spec that all Bitcoin wallets use today: https://bips.dev/32/

Yes it does but people don't use them typically, and it's confusing to refer to that (because accounts are used by custodians or account-model crypto like Ethereum).

And that's not the question-- sorry if it's not clear.

Does buying "directly" to self custody mean the customer has immediate access to their Bitcoin and can send it to a cold wallet (say, a non-Foundation wallet)?
