Our current products include Pubky (self-sovereign identity & open social graph), Pubky Ring (Pubky keychain & auth), Bitkit (Bitcoin & Lightning wallet), and Blocktank (Lightning Service Provider). Each product demonstrates building blocks for a new society. It is our mission to prove a complete, interoperable alternative to today’s centralized systems, rooted in digital autonomy, and open-source technology.
