You can't verify yourself. Branta is how you know it's real.
Stay vigilant when using a platform NOT running Guardrail.
NPM is **NOT** in the Guardrail stack ✅, please continue to verify addresses and invoices from disparate devices.

Unlocking Triangulated Security
How Branta's Cross Device QR Scan improves security by modeling mycelium

Sending #bitcoin shouldn’t be stressful.
Lightning solved slow settlement times.
But one pain point has persisted: getting the address/invoice right, all the time.
Branta fixes this - protecting against fraud, address swaps, and human error.
From coffee at @Satoshi Coffee Co., to handcrafted treats at @Oshi (推し), Branta ensures every transaction in the bitcoin circular economy is real, secure, and final.
For the full case report of how merchants are using Branta, check out the article:


Case Study: Merchants Implement Branta's Guardrail
Oshi and Satoshi Coffee Co turn to Branta for point of sale security

If you have a camera and a web browser, you can use Branta's Cross Device QR scan to make sure you don't have a single point of uncertainty.
Don't trust, verify. In action:

Branta Classic, an exploration of on-the-fly, seamless wallet verification, has been shelved.
The native repositories for Mac (Swift) and Windows (C#) are open source, linked below.
While we may pick up this project again in the future, we've turned our focus to address verification.
All of our applications are FOSS - if you're a developer looking to work on a unique approach to security, DM us or reply in thread. 🥂
