The Bitcoin ethos is “Don’t trust, verify,” yet, with #bitcoin transactions, it is commonplace to “trust” without verifying.
Trusting at the point of transaction is how Bitcoin gets lost.
Never trust, verify instead. It’s the Bitcoin way.

Send Bitcoin with absolute certainty. Infrastructure to mitigate risk for irreversible transactions.
The cost of Branta approaches zero compared to the cost of a catastrophic payment hack.
Don’t wait to be a victim when it comes to payment security.
With Bitcoin transactions, there is no room for errors.
Take every precaution possible when sending real wealth.
Branta is the standard.
It's 2026.
If your business is not allowing customers to verify where their transaction is going, you are not using industry leading security standards.
Don’t let your customers get man-in-the-middled.

and many more businesses are all leading the charge for transaction security.
Prevent theft before it happens.
Branta wishes you all a Happy New Year!
2025 was a defining year for freedom and prosperity.
At its center, sound money.
More individuals, families, and businesses are opting into health and freedom, and using the best tools available to do so.
The future is not given, it's built.
In 2025, we:
• Announced zero-knowledge address verification
• Added over 20 businesses to the Branta network
• Verified our first @Ark Labs transaction
• Integrated with takemySATS ( @The Bullish ₿itcoiner ), @BTCPay Server, @npub1cwne...raju, and other payment gateways
• Announced partnership and investment from @npub1j4lp...wzaa, OGs from 2014
• Broke ground on e2e transactions via wallet integrations, announcing soon
• Grew the team and attended 10+ conferences
… and had countless conversations with great folks building in the industry.
In 2025, we made it easy for businesses to opt in to private address verification; meaning users can rest easy against Man-In-The-Middle attacks.
Malware has no place in our future.
2026 will be even bigger.
More freedom, more prosperity.
What is a man-in-the-middle attack in #Bitcoin?
A man-in-the-middle attack occurs when malware intercepts a Bitcoin address and replaces it with a different address.
You think you’re sending BTC to the intended recipient, but the funds are redirected instead.
Don’t trust, verify before sending.
The network keeps growing. Happy to welcome @Satoshi Consult🔑

The billions lost every year make that painfully obvious.
Branta tackles this exact attack surface."

With payments, security, and antifragile systems, the idea of building everything in-house provides a paradox:
Everything being built in-house does not build trust; it actually removes trust and provides an opportunity for verification to be exploited at the expense of trust.
The world operates under third-party verification: supplements use NSF testing, car companies use external safety ratings, and airports require government IDs.
Examples are everywhere.
Verification is strongest when it comes from the outside, not internal trust-based systems.
Branta exists to prevent users from accidentally sending funds to fake addresses.
It’s an external reviewer for Bitcoin transactions—confirming whether an address is or isn’t the one you intend to send to.
No logins, no code injections, no added friction. Just independent, triangulated verification.
“Trusted third parties are security holes” only when trust is the basis.
Third-party verification operating outside the bounds of trust-filled systems makes your operations more antifragile.
Our latest on why you cannot verify yourself:
