HIGHLIGHTSWallets:
- two new native iOS wallets, Macadamia and Sovran, were launched in Q1.
- Existing wallets—Nutstash, Minibits, and Cashu.me—continue to roll out new features.
- Zeus Wallet to address this, the popular non-custodial Lightning wallet Zeus has integrated Cashu as a seamless entry point. As previously mentioned here #931175
- Blitz Wallet takes a similar approach. Unlike Zeus, Blitz also supports Liquid Bitcoin, providing a progressive path that guides users from Cashu to Liquid, and eventually to a self-custodial Lightning channel as their balance increases.
Cashu x BTCPayServer
Supported by an open-source bounty program from the OpenCash Association and in collaboration with rot13maxi from Taproot Wizards, one of the most exciting developments in the ecosystem is the upcoming integration with BTCPayServer—the leading open-source Bitcoin point-of-sale platform used by merchants around the world.
Cashu via NFC
Developer Calle has shared a video demonstrating phone-to-phone ecash payments via NFC, stating: “Fiat credit cards nailed the UX: fast, offline, works anywhere. I always wanted that for Bitcoin. Now it’s open-source. Private. Instant. Beep, done.”
TollGate powered by Cashu
Developers in the Nostr ecosystem have introduced an innovative new project: TollGate, a pay-as-you-go WiFi access system for open networks, powered by Cashu. TollGate leverages the offline capabilities of ecash to solve a previously unsolved problem: paying for internet access without needing internet access to begin with. Earlier mentioned here #899863
Cashu on Social apps
Among the many integrations of Cashu in Nostr—a decentralized social protocol—are popular clients like Iris, which includes a built-in Cashu wallet, and private messaging apps such as 0xChat and KeyChat.
