A Community Effort

The capabilities of the BoltRing are the results of contributions from developers and enthusiasts all around the world - most notably the Bolt Card Project and CoinCorner. Using this technology means being part of a global community of people who believe in the power of permissionless, decentralized, peer-to-peer transactions.

By adopting this technology, you are not only getting access to cutting-edge payments capabilities, but you also get the opportunity to shape and influence the development of the technology while supporting a movement that aims to democratize access to financial services and promote financial freedom.

The State of Development

Please note that the BoltRing is still in its early stages. It is currently only supported by a limited number merchants, wallets, and the setup of the BoltRing may still be technically challenging. However, we believe that the benefits of using contactless payment technology for Bitcoin are worth the effort, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
