Pre-release
Your sovereign datacenter that actually works for you.
Built on Bitcoin, built to run at home on a computer you own. Every message is paid for before it gets in, with the goal of making spam cost real money on mainnet. Today's closed beta uses signet test payments.
Encrypted between nodes, spam-resistant, built to be simple. Like signals between neurons: only paid messages get through.
The sovereign workspace.
Illustration of a chat: you send "Can we meet tomorrow?". The message is encrypted, a 1 sat payment settles, it is delivered, and the reply "Yes, let's plan it." arrives, also paid with a settled 1 sat.

What you get
- Spam has to pay.Every message requires a payment of at least 1 sat, a tiny fraction of a bitcoin, before it gets in, even from contacts you invited. Today's closed beta uses signet test payments; on mainnet, the goal is to make sending junk cost real money.
- Encrypted between your node and theirs.Today the two nodes do the encryption, so each node can read the messages it sends and receives. Run your own node and nobody else holds your side of the conversation. End-to-end encryption in the app is planned. MindLink's Lightning hub still sees your payments, so it can tell who you message if they also use the hub.
- You decide who reaches you.Stay open to paid messages, let in only people you approve, or close the door.
- Your keys stay yours.Your keys are your identity. No platform account, and on your own node, no company holds them. Messages are stored on your node and theirs.
The Vision: A Living Network
Today, a small number of large companies account for most web traffic. BitSov sends messages directly, node to node, and each one is paid for.
Today: through the gatekeepers

- The top 3 cloud providers account for 67% of the public cloud market.Synergy Research Group, Q2 2026 (opens in a new tab)
BitSov: node to node
Each pulse is a message going straight from one node to another. Its payment goes over Lightning through your channel partner, today MindLink's hub, which can see payment metadata but not the message. What the hub can see
Status
Paid admission proven on mainnet. Not yet at scale.
Paid admission by settlement was proven on Bitcoin mainnet on 1 July 2026. Location privacy, the relay and scale are still targets. The whitepaper has the full status.
