Fedimint is a module based system for building federated applications. It is designed to be a trust-minimized, censorship-resistant, and private alternative to centralized applications.
Fedimint is released under an MIT License. This means that the software here is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. You can find our latest release here.
Fedimint ships with 3 default modules - Bitcoin, Lightning, and Chaumian Ecash - for out-of-the-box best practices for private and trust-minimized payments. You can write custom modules that define further consensus items and transaction types leveraging the payments modules to build your own federated applications.
