Self-custodial – what does that mean?

With KAI-Pay, your money is yours. That has three consequences you should know.

  1. Your keys stay with youThey are created on your device and never leave it. KAI-Pay cannot move your money.
  2. Your 12 words are the backupThey restore your wallet on another device. Write them on paper and keep them safe.
  3. Nobody can recover it for youNot even us. If you lose both device and words, the funds are lost. That is the price of real self-custody.

Technology: KAI-Pay uses the Lightning Network and Spark via the open-source Breez SDK. Spark needs the Spark operators to cooperate for payments. For emergencies, Spark provides a unilateral exit to the Bitcoin blockchain – subject to conditions we explain openly in the risk warnings.
