| Tagline | Chaumian eCash on Bitcoin. Blinded signatures = zero-knowledge balance for the mint. Settled on Lightning. | Self-custodial Lightning wallet — no channels to manage, splice-in for liquidity. |
| Fees | Mint-fee varies · Lightning settle · Chaumian privacy | Free · LN routing fees + splice fees vary |
