Bitcoin Ciphers

Privacy & Coinjoin

Coinjoin implementations, payjoin tools, coin-control and label software, Tor-friendly wallets, and on-chain privacy analysis tooling.

24 self-custody tools

Ashigaru Wallet

Privacy & Coinjoin

An open-source, self-custodial Android Bitcoin wallet built for privacy by design. It supports Zerolink Whirlpool coinjoins, BIP47 PayNym reusable payment codes, connection to your own Dojo node over Tor, coin control with labelling and freezing, batch spending and a decoy stealth mode. Released under GPLv3.

RoninDojo

Node Software

Open-source node software built around Samourai Wallet's Dojo backend, providing a full node with Tor enabled by default, a management interface called RoninUI and transaction analysis tools. RoninDojo does not sell hardware; it runs on hardware you supply such as a Raspberry Pi 5, Rock5b+ or an x86 machine.

Wasabi Wallet

Privacy & Coinjoin

An open-source, non-custodial desktop Bitcoin wallet for Windows, Linux and macOS built around trustless multi-party transactions routed over Tor. It implements the WabiSabi coinjoin protocol along with coin control and labelling.

wasabiwallet.io

Bisq

Privacy & Coinjoin

An open-source desktop application forming a decentralised Bitcoin exchange network. Trades are peer-to-peer with funds held in 2-of-2 multisig rather than by an exchange, and the application routes over Tor with no account signup.

bisq.network

Elements

Privacy & Coinjoin

The open-source blockchain platform that Liquid is built on, extending Bitcoin with Confidential Transactions, issued assets and federated block signing. It can be run as a sidechain node or as a standalone chain.

github.com

JoinMarket

Privacy & Coinjoin

A Bitcoin coinjoin implementation with a market structure: makers offer their coins for mixing and earn a fee, takers pay to join. It runs against your own Bitcoin Core node and is maintained as an open-source client-server project.

github.com

Liquid Network

Privacy & Coinjoin

A Bitcoin sidechain operated by a federation, offering Confidential Transactions that hide amounts and asset types from third parties, plus faster settlement and asset issuance. Liquid Bitcoin is held in a two-way peg with Bitcoin.

Mercury Layer

Privacy & Coinjoin

A statechain implementation that uses a blind co-signing server so Bitcoin UTXO ownership can be transferred instantly and off-chain while remaining fully self-custodial. Because the signatures are blinded, the server cannot learn addresses, amounts or transaction contents.

Payjoin

Privacy & Coinjoin

The project home for payjoin (BIP78 and the newer async payjoin flows), a way to pay someone in a transaction to which they also contribute an input. It breaks the common-input-ownership assumption used by chain surveillance while also saving fees.

payjoin.org

RoboSats

Privacy & Coinjoin

A peer-to-peer Bitcoin exchange that operates over Tor using Lightning hold invoices as escrow, with pseudonymous robot identities instead of accounts. The client is open source and the documentation site explains the trade flow.

learn.robosats.org

Tor Project

Privacy & Coinjoin

The nonprofit behind the Tor anonymity network and Tor Browser. Most self-custody node software and privacy-focused Bitcoin wallets route their traffic over Tor so that a wallet's queries and broadcasts are not tied to a home IP address.

torproject.org

Jam

Privacy & Coinjoin

A web interface for JoinMarket that makes running a maker or taker considerably easier than the command line. It is designed to be installed on a home node alongside JoinMarket.

jamapp.org

Vexl

Privacy & Coinjoin

A mobile app for trading Bitcoin peer-to-peer within your real-world contact network, designed so offers stay inside your social graph rather than on a public order book.

vexl.it

electrs

Node Software

An efficient reimplementation of the Electrum server in Rust. Running it beside Bitcoin Core lets Electrum-protocol wallets such as Sparrow and Electrum query your own node instead of a public server.

github.com

Electrum Personal Server

Node Software

A minimal Electrum server designed for a single user. Instead of indexing the whole chain it watches only your own addresses through Bitcoin Core, so an Electrum wallet can connect privately to your node on modest hardware.

github.com

OpenSwap (Coinswap)

Privacy & Coinjoin

A working implementation of the Maxwell–Belcher coinswap protocol, which swaps coins between peers through off-chain contract transactions so the swap does not appear as a coinjoin-shaped pattern on chain. Published as binaries and libraries by the Citadel FOSS project.

github.com

Silent Payments

Privacy & Coinjoin

A reference site for BIP352 silent payments, a scheme that lets someone publish a single reusable static address while each payment still lands on a unique, unlinkable on-chain output. The site tracks which wallets support it.

silentpayments.xyz

BlindBit Oracle

Privacy & Coinjoin

A Go implementation of a BIP352 silent payments indexing server. Running one lets a silent-payments wallet scan for its own payments against your own infrastructure instead of a third-party service.

github.com

Neutrino

Node Software

Lightning Labs' privacy-preserving Bitcoin light client, implementing compact block filters (BIP157/158) so mobile and lightweight wallets can sync without revealing which addresses they care about.

github.com

KYCnot.me

Privacy & Coinjoin

A directory that reviews and scores Bitcoin and crypto services — exchanges, wallets, VPNs and more — by how much identity verification they require, with a privacy score attached to each listing.

kycnot.me

LNProxy

Privacy & Coinjoin

A simple Lightning privacy tool that wraps a Lightning invoice so the payer does not learn the receiving node's identity, giving receivers a measure of privacy when sharing invoices publicly.

lnproxy.org

Peach Bitcoin

Privacy & Coinjoin

A non-custodial mobile marketplace for buying and selling Bitcoin peer-to-peer without KYC, available on iOS, Android and as a direct APK download.

Payjoin Dev Kit (rust-payjoin)

Privacy & Coinjoin

The reference Rust implementation of payjoin, packaged as libraries so wallets and payment processors can add sender and receiver support without writing the protocol from scratch.

payjoindevkit.org

Hodl Hodl

Privacy & Coinjoin

A non-custodial peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading platform. Trades settle through multisig escrow contracts, so the platform states it never holds user funds.
