Lightning Wallet

A non-custodial Bitcoin wallet that runs entirely in your browser. Parahub's server never holds funds, keys, or wallet state — there is nothing to freeze, seize, or lose in a platform hack. Lightning payments arrive in seconds; regular on-chain transactions are supported too.

Getting started

  1. 1Generate a wallet — a 12-word recovery phrase is created on your device and never sent anywhere. The same phrase can also derive your PGP keypair.
  2. 2Confirm the words and set a PIN. The phrase is encrypted with your PIN and stored only in your browser.
  3. 3Receive and send — Lightning invoices, a permanent address for receiving, QR codes and a camera scanner. Amounts are shown in your preferred currency at live rates.
Your keys, your money
The platform holds no funds — a core Parahub principle. Payments go directly from payer to payee; the server only ever sees public data.
Built into the platform
Pay for event and transit tickets, mesh Wi-Fi access, and ads; get paid by supporters and customers. A debts tab tracks P2P debts that can clear automatically through barter cycles.
Lightning and on-chain
Instant low-fee Lightning payments for everyday use, plus standard Bitcoin transactions when you need them.
Recovery
Restore the wallet on any device with the 12 words — with autocomplete as you type them.

One phrase to keep safe

The 12 words are the wallet. Nobody — including Parahub — can restore them for you if they're lost. Write them down and store them offline; that is the price and the point of having no custodian.
