“Fedi and Fedimint will help put monetary power back into the hands of everyone, everywhere,” said Fedi Inc. co-founder and CEO, Obi Nwosu, in a statement. “This creates brighter futures for billions and especially for those struggling under oppressive regimes, which ultimately makes the world a better place.” - Namcios
The cypherpunk mission of Chaumian Ecash may finally be realized, as a federated payment model on top of Bitcoin. Fedi, the company implmenting a user-friendly, community custody system for the Fedimint protocol, raised $4 million recently to bring this technology to market. There are numerous trade offs, but it remains a very unique and fascinating technology to add to the Bitcoin stack. This will act as an introduction to the idea as we dig further into it in future episodes. Enjoy!
