Description

Pine is a bitcoin application designed for effortless and secure money transfers among friends and family. Its messenger-like interface makes sending bitcoin as simple and intuitive as using popular chat apps, while maintaining robust privacy and control for the user. Pine enables you to pay or receive funds globally, even if your contacts use different platforms, and features easy-to-use addresses similar to email accounts.

The platform is fully decentralized and open-source, letting users self-host their own Pine server and even run their own bitcoin node for complete transaction control and improved privacy.
