Obiverse vs WatchOnly

Obiverse is your sovereign digital identity and Lightning wallet — built on open protocols, owned entirely by you. IDENTITY Generate a permanent Nostr keypair derived from your seed phrase. Your identity lives on the key, not a server. Log in to any Obiverse-compatible app or website with a tap — no passwords, no email, no OAuth. LIGHTNING PAYMENTS Send and receive Bitcoin over Lightning instantly. Scan a QR code, paste a Lightning address, or boost artists directly from Mutumbu. Powered by the Spark protocol for near-zero fees and sub-second settlement. GATE LOGIN Approve sign-in requests from the web with a single biometric touch. The GATE protocol uses Nostr relay messaging — your private key never leaves your device. SOVEREIGN BY DESIGN Your seed phrase never touches our servers. Obiverse is a pure client — all cryptographic operations happen on your device. Works together with Mutumbu, the African-first music player, to let you tip artists directly with Lightning.

WatchOnly is a local-first, read-only Bitcoin dashboard for your existing self-custody setup. Import a public descriptor or xpub to view balances, activity, confirmations and UTXOs across your wallets. Review address reuse, connection exposure and other practical privacy signals, then choose the blockchain source that fits your setup: your own server, a Tor-proxied public source or a direct public source. Your wallet data stays on your device in protected local storage. WatchOnly has no accounts, ads, analytics, cloud sync or WatchOnly-operated backend. It never asks for or stores recovery phrases, private keys, wallet PINs or passphrases. WatchOnly cannot create, sign or broadcast transactions. It complements a signing wallet and a properly maintained recovery backup; it does not replace either one and does not provide financial advice.
