## What is Piggy?

Remember your ceramic piggy bank? This one talks back.

Piggy is a Bitcoin piggy bank that lives in your pocket. You feed it sats. It holds them. It has opinions about it. And when the day comes that you want the money back, there's no withdraw button. You have to kill it.
Yes, really.


HOW IT WORKS

Your Piggy hatches the moment you open the app. Feed it over the Lightning Network, or in the US, feed it with Apple Pay, with Coinbase handling the money part. Every sat lands in a wallet that only you control. Not us. Not anyone. Your keys live behind your passkey and nowhere else.

ADOPT A PIGGY

The starter Piggy is quiet and gets the job done. But swipe through thousands of one-of-a-kind Piggy and adopt the one that gets you. Every adopted Piggy comes with:
A face nobody else has. Generated from hundreds of traits. When it's gone, it's gone.
A name you choose, and its own Lightning address (yourpig@pig.gy). Anyone, anywhere can feed it.
A personality. Your Piggy talks. It comments when it gets fed. It replies to the people who feed it. It has thoughts about patience.
A public page at pig.gy/yourpig. Share it. Grandma can feed your Piggy for your birthday. Friends can leave a message with their sats. Amounts stay private. The love is public.


THE PART YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU START

Piggy has no withdraw button. The only way to get your sats out is to kill it. It will beg. You will have to type its name. The sats go to any Bitcoin address you choose, and your Piggy, its face, its name, its address, every message it ever received, is gone forever. Not archived. Gone.
That's not a bug. That's the whole point. Saving is easy when spending is heavy.


YOUR KEYS, YOUR SATS, YOUR FUNERAL

Piggy is fully self-custodial, built on the Lightning Network via Spark. Your keys are derived from your passkey, on your device, when needed, and are never stored anywhere. We can't touch your sats. We can't freeze them. We couldn't return a dead Piggy even if you cried (people have cried).
Piggy holds. Piggy does not trade, lend, or do anything clever with your money. It's a piggy bank. That's the job.


GOOD FOR

Your first sats, without a seed phrase lecture
Kids' savings that relatives can feed from anywhere
Anyone who's ever raided their own savings and hated themselves a little
Adopt one. Name it. Feed it. And think very carefully before you ever type its name.


Piggy. The Bitcoin Piggy Bank.

### 5/5 — Bitcoin bank

*2026-07-17*

Been using this for a few weeks and it actually works as a psychological trick to stop selling. Knowing I’d lose my Piggy’s whole history just to withdraw makes me think twice every time. Self custody, no KYC, no email, simple to set up. Genuinely the first “savings app” that made me actually save instead of just planning t

## Frequently asked questions about Piggy

### How secure is Piggy?

Piggy is fully self-custodial, meaning your keys are derived from your passkey on your device and never stored by the app. This ensures that only you control your sats, and neither the developers nor anyone else can access them.

### Can I withdraw my Bitcoin from Piggy easily?

No, Piggy is designed with a unique mechanic where there is no withdraw button. To access your sats, you must 'kill' the piggy bank, which permanently deletes it and sends the funds to a Bitcoin address you choose.

You can feed your Piggy sats over the Lightning Network. In the US, you can also use Apple Pay, with Coinbase handling the financial transactions.

When you kill your Piggy, it will beg, and you will need to type its name. The sats are sent to your chosen Bitcoin address, and your Piggy, its face, name, address, and all messages it received are gone forever, not archived.

### Can relatives or friends feed my Piggy?

Yes, each adopted Piggy has a unique name and a Lightning address (yourpig@pig.gy). You can share its public page at pig.gy/yourpig, allowing friends and family to feed it and leave messages with their sats.

Piggy is rated for ages 12+ and can be good for kids' savings, as relatives can feed it from anywhere. It offers a way to introduce saving without complex seed phrase management.
