I’ve been exploring this same theme in my own work: how ordinary people can stay grounded, sovereign, and intentional in an AI‑driven world.
For anyone interested, I wrote a children’s book Robots Are Alive! to help kids (and parents!) understand AI in a simple, empowering way:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FX1YLCSZ
And I’m building DigitalHijrah.com, a practical guide to digital sovereignty — privacy, autonomy, ethical tech, and reclaiming control of your digital life.
Videos like this are a great reminder: the future isn’t something we wait for… it’s something we build with the choices we make today.

Digital Hijrah — A Practical Guide to Digital Sovereignty
🌐 www.digitalhijrah.com
A new kind of migration is happening — not across borders, but away from systems that watch, profile, and control. Digital Hijrah is a clear path toward autonomy, resilience, and ethical technology.
Take back control of your digital life:
- Own your money with decentralised, censorship‑resistant tools
- Control your identity without corporate gatekeepers
- Protect your communication from surveillance
- Build tech stacks independent of Big Tech
- Defend your mind and data from algorithmic manipulation
- Live virtuously online with faith‑aligned digital habits
The framework is simple: Six Pillars supported by Three Levels of Transformation — Aware → Sovereign → Citadel. Practical, actionable, and ready to apply today.
Digital Hijrah isn’t theory. It’s a real migration toward privacy, dignity, and autonomy in a rapidly shifting digital world.

📢 6 DAYS TO GO before we march!
On Saturday May 16th we need everyone who can make it to be in London.
We will march to commemorate the Nakba – the catastrophe inflicted on the Palestinian people since the foundation of Israel in 1948. For 78 years, Palestinians have been subjected to a racist system of oppression including ethnic cleansing, settler-colonialism, apartheid and genocide. 
We march to reaffirm our commitment to the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including the refugees’ right to return home.
We march to demand an end to Britain’s complicity in Israel’s crimes.
We march against the far right in Britain who glorify Israel’s racism and brutality. Our unity and solidarity is stronger than their hatred and division.
Stand with the Palestinian people whose demand for justice is as important now as ever before.

The concept of Hijrah - migration away from what harms toward what is better - is not merely historical.
We live in a digital environment where:
→ Our savings are eroded by inflation engineered by central banks
→ Our private conversations are surveilled and sold
→ The tools we use daily — Google, WhatsApp, Microsoft — have documented contracts with military and intelligence services
→ Our attention is the product being traded
For Muslim communities, this isn't just a privacy concern. It's an ethical one.
An Islamic one.
Digital Hijrah (digitalhijrah.com) is a free, practical guide to migrating away
from these systems - using Bitcoin, open source software, and decentralised
alternatives that serve people rather than exploit them.
It covers everything from replacing WhatsApp with Signal (Level 1, anyone can do it this weekend) to running your own Bitcoin node and self-hosting your data (Level 3, for the dedicated).
Built by the community. For the community. No ads, no paywall, no tracking.
If this resonates, share it with someone who needs it.

Thanks for the feedback!
I've been looking into it and will update accordingly. Will mostly likely change the privacy score from ✗ to ~ (partial) — meaningfully improved, but not a clean ✓.
I'll post the reasoning behind it soon.

2026-05-08 22:26:42 UTC

There's a sovereignty practice that almost nobody talks about, but that every serious Bitcoin user should do: verifying software signatures before running them.
When you download Bitcoin Core, Sparrow Wallet, ColdCard firmware, or GrapheneOS — how do you know the file wasn't tampered with between the developer's computer and yours?
GPG signature verification. It takes 2 minutes and it's the difference between running legitimate software and running malware that drains your wallet.
Digital Hijrah's Encryption & Keys tab walks through:
🔑 GnuPG setup on Windows (Gpg4win), macOS (GPG Suite) and Linux (built-in)
🔑 Thunderbird with built-in OpenPGP for encrypted email
🔑 Hardware security keys — Nitrokey (fully open source, German) and YubiKey
🔑 VeraCrypt and LUKS for full disk encryption
🔑 Cryptomator for encrypting files on any cloud storage
🔑 Key servers and Web Key Directory (WKD) for public key sharing
🔑 The full verification workflow with code examples
This is the tab most people ignore. It's probably the most important one.

One of the most common objections to Bitcoin: "but I can't spend it anywhere."
That's no longer true — and Digital Hijrah maps out exactly how.
The Money tab includes a full section on spending and accepting Bitcoin in the real world:
SPEND WITHOUT MERCHANTS NEEDING TO ACCEPT BTC:
→ Bitrefill — buy gift cards for 8,000+ products, across 3500+ brands in 186 countries with Lightning.
Instant delivery. .
→ Cryptorefills — European alternative, 150+ countries, thousands of brands
→ Coincards — top-ups and gift cards, no KYC required
FIND MERCHANTS:
→ BTCMap.org — community-maintained open source map of Bitcoin-accepting
businesses worldwide. OpenStreetMap-based, no tracking.
ACCEPT BITCOIN (for businesses, charities, masjids):
→ Phoenix/ZEUS wallet as a simple POS terminal
→ BTCPay Server — self-hosted, zero fees, full merchant checkout
The tools exist. The circular economy just needs participants.

One thing we built into Digital Hijrah from the start: it meets you where you are.
The guide covers 11 technology areas, but you don't have to tackle all of them at once.
We use a 3-tier sovereignty framework:
👁 AWARE (Level 1) — Better choices that don't require technical knowledge.
Signal instead of WhatsApp. ProtonMail instead of Gmail. Brave instead of Chrome.
Anyone can do this in a weekend.
⚡ SOVEREIGN (Level 2) — Self-hosted services, Bitcoin self-custody, GrapheneOS,
Linux. Taking back control of your infrastructure.
🛡 CITADEL (Level 3) — Running your own node, self-hosted relays, hardware signing
devices, FROST multisig. Full sovereignty for the dedicated.
Each of the 177 (and counting) tools in the guide is tagged by level. Filter to your comfort zone
and work outward from there.
The 9-step Getting Started path walks you through it chronologically — from your
first week to month 6 and beyond.

When we built Digital Hijrah, we knew we had to address something most tech guides ignore:
the ethical dimension of who owns the tools we use.
Our 8th rating criterion is BDS Clean — does the company behind this tool have documented
ties to Israeli military or intelligence infrastructure?
Some findings that surprised us:
❌ Google — Project Nimbus: $1.2bn AWS + Google Cloud contract with Israeli Ministry of Defense
❌ Microsoft — Azure contract with Israeli MOD, used in active military operations
❌ WhatsApp — owned by Meta, whose infrastructure underpins Israeli surveillance systems
❌ ExpressVPN — acquired by Kape Technologies, founded by ex-Unit 8200 intelligence officers
❌ Discord — Spark Capital investors have significant Israeli tech portfolio
✅ Signal, ProtonMail, Bitwarden, Nextcloud, Mullvad — all clean
This isn't about politics. It's about knowing what you're paying for with your data, your attention and your money.

It's built on Bitcoin values: open source, no ads, no paywalls, no tracking.

Digital Hijrah — A Practical Guide to Digital Sovereignty
https://www.digitalhijrah.com/
A new kind of migration is underway. Not across borders, but away from systems that track, monetise, and control us. Digital Hijrah is a deliberate journey toward sovereignty, resilience, and ethical technology, echoing the classical spirit of migrating toward better circumstances.
At its core, Digital Hijrah empowers you to:
- Own your money through decentralised, censorship‑resistant tools.
- Control your identity with self‑sovereign credentials instead of corporate logins.
- Secure your communication against surveillance and data extraction.
- Build autonomous technology stacks that don’t rely on Big Tech.
- Protect your mind and data in an age of algorithmic manipulation.
- Live virtuously online, aligning digital life with faith, ethics, and human dignity.
This site distils the complex world of digital sovereignty into a clear, structured framework — the Six Pillars supported by the Three Levels of Transformation (Aware → Sovereign → Citadel). Each step is practical, actionable, and grounded in real tools you can adopt today.
Digital Hijrah is not theory. It’s a migration you can begin right now — one that strengthens your family, protects your privacy, and restores your autonomy in a rapidly shifting digital landscape.

📌 What is STRC?
STRC is Strategy Inc.’s (formerly MicroStrategy) Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock — a high‑yield equity instrument designed to fund the company’s Bitcoin purchases. It trades on Nasdaq under the ticker STRC and currently pays a variable monthly dividend around 11.5%, adjusted to keep its price near \$100 par value.
- Type: Perpetual preferred stock (not a bond)
- Issuer: Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR), Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin‑treasury company
- Dividend: Variable, board‑set monthly cash payout (~11–12% annualized)
- Purpose: Raise capital to buy more Bitcoin without diluting common shareholders
- Trading behavior: Price engineered to stay near \$100; dividend rate rises if price falls below par
- Collateral: Not directly backed by Bitcoin; holders have only a preferred claim on residual corporate assets
📌 Why STRC is problematic from Shariah perspective?
From a Shariah perspective, STRC’s yield has a high likelihood of being classified as riba because it is a fixed‑income–like dividend engineered to track par value, not a profit‑share from a real economic venture. But there is nuance — and the classification depends on why the dividend exists, how it is determined, and what the investor is actually exposed to.
Below is the structured breakdown 👇
1. The core Shariah question; Shariah asks one thing first:
> Is the return tied to real economic risk and profit, or is it a guaranteed/engineered payout on capital?
If the return is pre‑determined, capital‑linked, or designed to maintain par value, it typically falls under riba al‑nasī’ah (time‑based increase on capital).
2. What STRC actually is (in Shariah terms)
STRC is:
- Perpetual preferred equity,
- With variable monthly dividends,
- Adjusted explicitly to keep the price near $100,
- And not tied to business profits,
- But tied to capital‑raising mechanics.
This means:
- The dividend is not a share of business profit.
- It is not tied to MicroStrategy’s operating performance.
- It is not tied to Bitcoin appreciation.
- It is not tied to a mudarabah/musharakah‑style risk‑sharing model.
Instead, the dividend is engineered to maintain price stability; which is economically similar to a floating coupon.
That is the key Shariah red flag.
3. Why many scholars would classify STRC dividends as riba:
1. The payout is linked to capital, not profit
Shariah requires that equity returns come from actual profit, not from a pre‑engineered yield mechanism.
STRC’s dividend is set by the issuer to maintain par value; not by profit.
2. The issuer adjusts the rate to keep the price stable
This is functionally similar to:
- Floating‑rate bonds
- Sukuk that fail AAOIFI screens
- Capital‑preservation instruments
Shariah prohibits capital‑guaranteed returns.
3. The investor’s risk is not true equity risk
Preferred equity with engineered dividends behaves like:
- A perpetual bond
- A yield instrument
- A capital‑linked coupon
This is structurally closer to riba‑based debt than to musharakah equity.
4. The Bitcoin angle does not make it halal
Some people assume:
> “If MicroStrategy uses STRC proceeds to buy Bitcoin, the yield must be halal.”
But Shariah looks at contract structure, not use of proceeds.
Even if the company buys halal assets, the instrument can still be riba‑based.
5. The strongest Shariah argument against STRC
STRC’s dividend is:
- Not profit‑based
- Not risk‑sharing
- Not tied to real economic output
- Not variable based on business performance
- Explicitly engineered to maintain par value
This aligns with the classical definition of riba al‑nasī’ah; an increase on capital due to time.
6. Is there any argument for permissibility?
A minority argument could be:
- It is technically equity, not debt.
- Dividends are not legally guaranteed.
- The rate is variable, not fixed.
- The company does take business risk.
But these arguments are weak because the economic substance is still a capital‑linked yield mechanism, not a profit‑sharing model.
AAOIFI standards generally reject preferred shares with engineered dividends.
Bottom line is most Shariah scholars would classify STRC’s yield as riba, because:
- The return is engineered, not profit‑based
- The payout is linked to capital, not performance
- The structure mimics a floating‑rate bond
- The purpose of the dividend is price stability, not profit distribution
In Islamic finance, form does not override substance.
And the substance of STRC is yield on capital, not profit from enterprise.
📌 Is purchasing STRC the equivalent of a loan or equity?
When you purchase STRC, you are legally buying equity, but economically you are entering something that behaves much closer to a loan. This duality is exactly why the Shariah classification becomes tricky.
Breaking it down cleanly and without jargon:
1. What you legally own when you buy STRC
STRC is preferred equity.
That means:
- You are not a creditor
- You do own a slice of the company’s capital structure
- You sit above common shareholders but below bondholders
- You receive dividends, not interest
- The company is not legally obligated to pay you (dividends can be suspended)
So in form, you are purchasing equity.
2. What you economically experience
This is where the Shariah issue arises.
STRC behaves like:
- A perpetual bond
- With a floating coupon
- Designed to keep the price near $100
- With a yield engineered by the issuer, not tied to profit
- With capital‑preservation mechanics
This means your economic exposure is:
- Not true equity risk
- Not tied to business performance
- Not tied to profit/loss sharing
- Not tied to Bitcoin appreciation
- Primarily tied to receiving a yield on your capital
Economically, this is loan‑like behaviour.
3. Shariah classification: form vs substance
Shariah always prioritises substance over form.
Form (legal):
✔️ Equity
✔️ Dividends
✔️ No legal guarantee
✔️ No maturity date
Substance (economic):
❌ Capital‑linked return
❌ Engineered yield
❌ Price‑stability mechanism
❌ No real profit‑sharing
❌ Behaves like a floating‑rate loan
Because the return is tied to capital + time, not profit + risk, the economic substance resembles riba al‑nasī’ah.
4. So what is it in Shariah terms?
Most scholars would say:
> You are legally buying equity, but economically receiving a riba‑like return.
This is similar to:
- Preferred shares with fixed dividends
- Perpetual bonds
- Capital‑preservation sukuk that fail AAOIFI standards
These are typically classified as non‑compliant.
5. A simple analogy
Imagine someone says:
> “I’m selling you equity, but I’ll adjust your dividend every month to make sure your investment always stays around £100 and gives you a steady yield.”
That is equity in name, but a loan in behaviour.
Shariah cares about behaviour.
Buying STRC is legally equity, but economically loan‑like.
And because Shariah evaluates economic substance, not legal labels, the model aligns more with riba‑based instruments than with halal equity.

Summary of the salient points and the core CTA from "Skating To Where The Puck Will Be with Matt Hill:
1. The world is splitting into two computing models
Matt Hill argues that we’re watching a hard divergence between:
- Centralised computing (cloud, big tech, custodial platforms)
- Decentralised computing (sovereign, user‑controlled, local-first systems)
He predicts a future where the gap becomes so wide that society will be forced to choose one path or the other.
2. StartOS 0.4.0: a complete rebuild for sovereignty
Start9 spent three years rebuilding StartOS from scratch, giving them full control over the entire network stack.
Key outcomes:
- More reliable self-hosting
- Better security
- A foundation for future sovereign computing tools
3. StartWRT: open‑source routing for normal humans
They introduce StartWRT, a router OS that makes complex networking feel like “Ikea furniture.”
Capabilities include:
- True open-source routing
- Simple network isolation
- Security profiles
- Virtual private routers
4. The danger of the cloud
The “cloud” is described bluntly as “someone else’s computer.”
Centralised cloud infrastructure is framed as:
- A surveillance system
- A single point of failure
- A threat to autonomy
5. AI as an existential threat if not run locally
Matt warns that:
- AI will automate away huge swaths of human purpose
- Centralised AI agents will become tools of control
- Running AI locally is essential for sovereignty
6. Inflation + automation = a trap
Even as technology saves time, inflation steals that time back.
This creates a treadmill where people never get ahead.
7. Digital defense systems are now essential
He frames sovereign computing as a defensive necessity, not a hobby:
- Protect against institutional overreach
- Resist censorship
- Maintain autonomy in a collapsing system
8. StartBot AI: local automation for your server
Start9 is building StartBot, a local AI that:
- Manages your server
- Automates tasks
- Helps non‑technical users run sovereign infrastructure
9. Privacy tools made simple
The episode covers:
- Chaining outbound VPNs
- Isolating networks
- Exposing home services safely
All designed to be accessible to non‑experts.
🎯 Core CTA (Call to Action)
Across both the Fountain and YouTube descriptions, the clear CTA is:
→ Start taking control of your computing NOW.
Stop procrastinating. Stop relying on cloud platforms.
Begin running your own:
- Local server
- Local AI agents
- Private networking stack
- Sovereign digital tools
Matt’s message is that sovereign computing is no longer optional—it’s a survival skill in a world drifting toward authoritarian digital control.

Al-Masjid al-Aqṣā is not only the golden Dome of the Rock, nor only the silver/grey-domed al-Muṣallā al-Qiblī. Al-Masjid al-Aqṣā is the entire sacred compound that encompasses both of these Muṣallā, along with everything within its surrounding walls. Every part of this blessed land is sacred. Every inch carries history, worship, and responsibility for this Ummah.
Muṣallā Qubbat al-Ṣakhrah (The Dome of the Rock)
Built during the reign of the Caliph ʿAbd al-Malik b. Marwān, it stands over the Blessed Rock, from which it is said the Prophet ﷺ ascended to the heavens on the Night Journey.
Al-Muṣallā al-Qiblī
The structure with the silver-grey dome at the front of al-Masjid al-Aqṣā is known as al-Muṣallā al-Qiblī, as it stands nearest to the qiblah.
Al-Muṣallā al-Marwānī
Located beneath the south-eastern side of the sacred compound of al-Masjid al-Aqṣā, al-Muṣallā al-Marwānī is one of its largest prayer spaces, capable of accommodating thousands of worshippers within the blessed grounds of al-Masjid al-Aqṣā.
Qubbat al-Silsilah (The Dome of the Chain)
Directly east of the Dome of the Rock is the Dome of the Chain, built during the reign of the Caliph ʿAbd al-Malik b. Marwān. It marks the exact centre of the al-Masjid al-Aqṣā sanctuary.
Al-Burāq Wall
The western wall of al-Masjid al-Aqṣā, known as the al-Burāq Wall, is where the Prophet ﷺ tied al-Burāq on the Night Journey, and where the Prophets before him would tie their mounts.
Musallā al-Burāq
A prayer area located next to the al-Burāq Wall within the al-Masjid al-Aqṣā compound. It is said to mark the place where the Prophet ﷺ prayed after tying al-Burāq during the Night Journey.

Hands Off Al-Aqsa Action Weekend
3rd - 5th April 2026
Masjid Al-Aqsa, one of Islam's three holy sites, has been closed since 28 February 2026. This is the longest consecutive closure of the holy site by Israel since its occupation of East Jerusalem in 1967.
This closure comes amid Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, unprecedented land annexation in the West Bank and growing efforts by Temple Mount groups backed by Israeli ministers to destroy the buildings standing on Masjid Al-Aqsa.
Take four important practical steps this weekend to help protect Masjid Al-Aqsa.

What Is Digital Hijrah?
Digital Hijrah is the modern migration from digital exploitation to digital sovereignty.
Just as the early Muslims left oppression for freedom, today’s Digital Hijrah calls you to leave behind surveillance platforms, data‑harvesting corporations, and systems that erode your autonomy.
The Problem: Digital Captivity
Most people unknowingly live under:
- Constant surveillance and data extraction
- Algorithmic censorship
- Financial systems that devalue wealth
- Platforms that profit from your behaviour and identity
It mirrors pre‑Hijrah Makkah: hostile, extractive, and limiting your freedom.
The Solution: The Four Pillars
1. Sovereignty — Own your identity, keys, and digital presence
2. Privacy — Protect your dignity with encryption and minimal data exposure
3. Ethics — Use tech aligned with Islamic values and avoid exploitative systems
4. Freedom — Communicate, transact, and build without gatekeepers
How to Begin Your Digital Hijrah
1. Assess your digital life
2. Learn ethical, privacy‑respecting alternatives
3. Make your first sovereignty move
4. Transition gradually
5. Become a sovereignty architect
Blockchainology guides individuals from digital captivity to digital freedom through sovereignty‑focused tools and education.
IT'S TIME TO OPT OUT!

Indeed, in the heart there is a scattering that nothing can gather but turning to God; and in it is a loneliness that nothing can remove but intimacy with God; and in it is sadness that nothing can soothe but the joy of knowing Him and sincerity in dealing with Him; and in it is anxiety that nothing can calm but focusing one’s entire being on Him and fleeing to Him…
~ Ibn al-Qayyim, al-Fawāʾid

Anybody remember playing Pitfall! (1982, by David Crane) on the Atari 2600 in the 80s?
Interesting fact:
Pitfall! was 4 kilobytes big... that's a fraction of any desktop icon on your PC these days. David Crane is a gam dev legend.

The Deeper Point
There is something important happening at the intersection of Bitcoin and Islamic finance that most people in both communities have not yet noticed.
Bitcoin is not just a speculative asset. It is not just a hedge against inflation. It is a protocol for honest money — one that, for the first time in the modern era, gives individuals and communities the ability to transact without the permission of a bank, a government, or a payment processor.
That is a profound capability. And it aligns, more deeply than any other monetary technology ever has, with the Islamic vision of economic justice: property rights that cannot be arbitrarily seized, value transfer that cannot be taxed through inflation, financial participation that cannot be denied by a gatekeeper.
The digital Hijrah — the transition from extractive, surveillance-based, interest-bearing financial infrastructure to sovereign, private, permissionless alternatives — is not a metaphor. It is a practical project. And it requires practical tools.
Ijma is one of those tools.
It is early. It is imperfect. It is honest about both. But it is real, it is open, and it is getting better.
Come build it with us.

An Honest Ask
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
I want to be direct about what this project needs and what it is asking of you.
This is not a pitch for investment. Ijma is not a startup. There are no tokens. There is no presale. There is no venture capital and there will not be. The business model is software licensing, professional services, and enterprise white-labelling — halal revenue from building genuinely useful things.
What it does need is people.
React developers who understand — or want to learn — Bitcoin, Lightning, Nostr, and Cashu. The codebase is clean React 18 with Vite. No exotic dependencies. No blockchain-specific frameworks.
Bitcoin and Lightning specialists who can review the cryptographic architecture, spot mistakes, and help wire up the Breez SDK embedded node properly.
Nostr developers who want to see what a wallet looks like when Nostr identity is taken seriously as infrastructure rather than a feature.
Islamic finance scholars and thinkers who can engage with the halal architecture seriously — not to approve it as a marketing exercise but to find its genuine limits and help improve it.
UX and product designers who want to solve the genuinely hard problem of making sovereign financial tools accessible to people who have never heard of a private key.
Translators and localisation contributors for Arabic, Urdu, Bangla, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Malaysia, Swahili, Hausa, and Somali.
Community builders who can take this to the mosques, the Islamic finance conferences, the Bitcoin meetups, the Nostr communities, and the developer circles where it belongs.
If any of that is you — the door is open. Open an issue. Submit a pull request. Reach out directly. This project is better when more people who care about it have their hands on it.

BIP39 Autocomplete working! Alhamdulillah!
AUTOCOMPLETE: BIP39Input component — a reusable word input that sits at the bottom of the file. It holds its own suggestions state. When the user types 2+ letters it filters the 2048-word BIP39 English wordlist using startsWith() and shows up to 6 matches in a dropdown below the field. Tapping or clicking a suggestion fills the word and dismisses the dropdown. The onBlur has a 160ms delay so a tap on a suggestion registers before the blur closes it — important on mobile.
The suggestion display renders the typed prefix in orange and the remainder of the word in normal text, so "aban" → abandon looks like the user is completing their own typing rather than replacing it.

Some eye candy we've been playing around with.
The core features for the demo are being worked on, but we're also looking at UI/UX for the target audience. #BitcoinForEveryone #IjmaWallet

IJMA WALLET - update notes
A great security UX idea is address highlighting or "canary coloring".
I've designed the highlighting scheme for Ijma wallet as follows.
Bitcoin on-chain (bc1q... / bc1p...):
- bc1q or bc1p prefix → muted/grey (boilerplate)
- First 4 chars after prefix → orange (checksum start)
- Middle bulk → normal text
- Last 4 chars → orange (checksum end, most important to verify)
Lightning BOLT11 (...):
- prefix → muted/grey
- Amount digits embedded in prefix (e.g. 210n) → highlighted
- First 6 chars of the hash section → orange
- Last 6 chars → orange
Lightning address (user@domain.com):
- user part → orange
- @ → muted
- domain.com → normal
Nostr npub:
- npub1 prefix → muted
- First 6 chars → orange
- Last 6 chars → orange
How the highlighting works:
Two functions: AddressDisplay renders the coloured spans, parseAddressSegments detects the address type and returns the segment list. The full colour scheme is as follows:
Bitcoin on-chain (bc1q / bc1p)
bc1q · wxyz5 · [bulk middle] · 4abc9
grey orange dark text orange
The bc1q / bc1p prefix is grey — it's the same on every address so no reason to emphasise it. The first 5 chars after the prefix and the last 5 chars are orange — these are the characters a user should scan when confirming a receive address they've sent someone.
BOLT11 Lightning invoice (...)
· 210n · 1pvj · [bulk] · 8kl2w4
grey purple orange dark orange
The network prefix is grey. The amount (e.g. 210n = 21,000 sats) is purple so it stands out clearly — this is the most critical thing to check on an invoice. First 8 and last 8 chars of the data section are orange.
Lightning address (user@domain)
amisatoshi · @ · primal.net
orange grey warm dark
The username is orange because it's the unique identifier. The domain is readable but not highlighted.
Nostr npub
npub1 · abcdef · [bulk] · xyz123
grey orange dark orange
Where it appears:
- Receive screen — the address text below the QR code
- Send confirm screen — the "To" row is now a full-width AddressDisplay rather than a truncated string, so the user can actually see and verify the full address before confirming. The other rows (Amount, Fee, etc.) remain right-aligned as before.

Social Design Framework
The Social Design Framework for platform entrepreneurs captures the key elements of any platform. Updated in a more actionable version by the initiative working group led by Martin Sønderlev during Rebuild 1. The framework is a continuation of work by early pioneers such as Jyri Engeström, Matt Webb and Jack Schulze, formalised in academia by Kietzmann, Hermkens, McCarthy & Silvestre.
