Cashu-Address Protocol

Welcome to the documentation of Cashu-Address Protocol, an innovative Lightning Address designed to be accessible for everyone. This solution combines the best features of Lightning and Bitcoin eCash, offering a seamless experience.

Key Features of Cashu-Address

Cashu-Address stands out by eliminating the need for registration, ensuring that anyone can access it with minimal setup required. This ease of access does not compromise on functionality; quite the contrary, being based on Bitcoin eCash it even extends it.

Benefits Over Traditional Custodial Lightning Addresses:

• Privacy: With Cashu-Address, your financial activities are not visible to your custodian. This added layer of privacy ensures that your transactions remain your own.

• Flexibility in Custodian Selection: Unlike traditional Lightning Addresses, Cashu-Address allows you to choose your custodian freely. If your needs change, you can switch your custodian anytime without hassle.

• No User Exclusion: Custodians cannot exclude individual users. Because mints do know know which user eCash belongs to, they can not censor certain users.

A Work in Progress

We are constantly working to improve Cashu-Address and expand its features. As it is still a work in progress, we invite our users to explore what Cashu-Address has to offer. However, we advise proceeding with caution and not to be reckless.
