Kanari

by Kanari

Pay for Wero purchases with bitcoin or earn sats by paying other people's baskets. Scan a QR code to lock your sats with a coordinator; they only leave once the order is paid in euros. No account required, using a local Nostr key.

Kanari connects Wero, the European banks' payment method, with bitcoin over Lightning.

Pay for a purchase. At an online shop's checkout, choose Wero and scan its QR code in Kanari. Your sats are locked with a coordinator. Someone pays the basket in euros from their banking app, and your sats only leave once the order is paid. If nobody pays, they come back to you automatically.

Earn sats. Pick a basket, pay it in euros with Wero, and receive the same value in sats on your Lightning wallet (Nostr Wallet Connect or a BOLT12 offer such as Phoenix).

  • No account, no e-mail, no phone number: your profile is a Nostr key kept on your phone, backed up with a recovery code.
  • Independent coordinators lock the sats and settle disputes. You choose yours by its fees and limits, and anyone can run one.
  • A reputation score rewards successful trades and penalises lost disputes and bank chargebacks.
  • Available in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Polish and Slovak.

Open source (MIT), built on BitBlik. Not affiliated with Wero or EPI.
