Ijma Wallet project update:
- new domain registered
- basic website with high level design document (v0.1) published
- Executive Summary
Ijma (Arabic: إجماع, meaning "consensus") is a self-custody Bitcoin/Lightning wallet that doubles as a decentralized identity solution through deep Nostr integration. It bridges traditional Bitcoin custody with emerging ecash systems (Cashu/Fedimint) while maintaining enterprise-grade security and consumer-friendly UX.
- Core Philosophy: Consensus between security and usability, sovereignty and convenience, power user features and beginner-friendly design.
Ijma Wallet represents a comprehensive vision for the next generation of Bitcoin wallets - one that embraces the full spectrum of Bitcoin innovation from base layer to Lightning to ecash, while integrating seamlessly with decentralized identity through Nostr.
- Key Differentiators:
• Identity + Money: First wallet to truly unify identity and payments
• Security without compromise: Enterprise security meets consumer UX
• Ecosystem integration: Works with everything in the Bitcoin/Nostr universe
• Progressive complexity: Grows with user sophistication
• Community-driven: Open source, transparent, user-owned
- Product Vision: “Sovereign. Private. Halal.”
A non-custodial Bitcoin wallet that integrates Lightning, Nostr, Cashu, and Fedimint—built for users who value privacy, autonomy, and ethical finance. It’s not just a wallet; it’s a sanctuary for digital dignity.
- Privacy-First Architecture:
• No custody, no surveillance: Users hold their own keys. No tracking, no profiling.
• Cashu & Fedimint: Enable anonymous, Chaumian e-cash and community custody.
• Nostr integration: Decentralized identity and messaging—no centralized servers.
• Open-source transparency: Every line of code is auditable and forkable.
- Shariah Compliance Foundations :
• No Riba (interest): The wallet does not facilitate lending or borrowing with interest.
• No Gharar (excessive uncertainty): Clear fee structures, transparent routing, and no hidden risks.
• No Maysir (gambling): No speculative trading or high-risk financial instruments.
• Recognition of Maal (valuable property): Bitcoin is treated as a legitimate store of value and medium of exchange, aligning with scholarly views that affirm its halal status.
• Zakat & Sadaqah modules (future roadmap): Optional tools to calculate and donate directly from wallet.
The name "Ijma" (consensus) reflects the wallet's core mission: achieving consensus between competing priorities - security vs. usability, privacy vs. convenience, simplicity vs. power, individual sovereignty vs. social connection.
This wallet doesn't just store bitcoin - it becomes your sovereign digital identity and your gateway to the decentralized future.
The future is arriving faster than ever. Isn’t it time your family started talking about it?
