Freedom money.
Bitcoin & Lightning. Own it. Hold it. Send it directly.
No middlemen. No gatekeepers. One simple self-custodial wallet.
Bitcoin & Lightning. Own it. Hold it. Send it directly.
No middlemen. No gatekeepers. One simple self-custodial wallet.
We believe the freedom to hold, own and send electronic cash is a human right — like free speech.
Anyone to anyone. Directly. The same basic freedom you have when you hand physical cash to someone on the street.
Peer-to-peer electronic cash.
Bitcoin did this. We did not invent it.
Our job is to make that promise simple enough for everyone to actually use.
Open internet money.
Own it yourself. Send it peer to peer. Use it globally.
Stablecoins when you want them.
Useful for online payments and stable local value.
Cash in. Cash out. Spend locally.
Bank, card and mobile-money rails when you need them.
If somebody else controls the wallet, you depend on them.
Self-custody means the wallet itself is yours.
Nuri, a bank, a card provider or another service can disappear. Your self-custodial wallet is designed not to disappear with them.
Wallet first. Services second.
Use local currencies when local life needs them.
Bitcoin & Lightning remain the open internet layer. Local rails are ways in and out.
Use regulated services without giving them custody of your wallet.
Card, banking and e-money services are provided under the licences and rules of the relevant providers. The self-custodial wallet remains separate.

We grew up building internet money.
Berlin. 2012 → today. Mining. Exchanges. Wallets. DAOs. Smart contracts. Protocols. Payments.
Cim Topal, Emil Wagner and Lennard Evertz are part of that long builder story. For now, the public founder profile starts with Emin.
Bitcoin since the early 2010s. Wallets, protocols and payments. Former product leadership at Börse Stuttgart Digital Exchange.
The goal after all those years: self-custody simple enough for everyone.
Same wallet. Same rules. Explicit permissions.
Humans use Nuri directly. Software and AI can use the same wallet through permissions the owner controls.

Nuri is operated by Nurisoft Development OÜ, Tallinn, Estonia. Nuri is not a bank. Self-custody describes the crypto wallet, not card or bank balances. Regulated financial services are provided by licensed third parties under separate terms.
Bitcoin first. Stable money when you want it. Local money when you need it.
