Cashu
Zero KYC · Trust 69/99
Chaumian e-cash protocol on Bitcoin Lightning. The mint cannot link sends to receives — genuine transactional unlinkability. CAUTION: each mint is a custodian. If the mint disappears, tokens are worthless. Best for small amounts on trusted mints.
Open source Lightning node manager and wallet. Connect to your own LND, CLN, or Eclair node. Or use ZEUS Pay (embedded node) for a self-contained setup. Tor native. No account, no KYC.
