Bancwr

Self-hosted Nostr signing for teams — shared brand authority without shared private-key chaos.

Shared signing authority

Team members can request signatures without ever seeing the private key. Bancwr puts governance around who can sign and what they can sign.
  • Brand accounts
    One Nostr identity, multiple authorised team members
  • Role-based access
    Control who can sign what with role-based permissions
  • No key distribution
    Team members never receive the nsec

Business continuity

When devices are lost or staff leave, the organisation still controls its Nostr identity. Recovery and offboarding built in.
  • Key recovery
    Shamir-style backup and recovery ceremonies
  • Audit logs
    Compliance-oriented records of all signing activity
  • Kill switch
    Instantly revoke access without rotating the key

Self-hosted

Run Bancwr on your own infrastructure. Designed for Umbrel and Start9 deployment. Your keys, your server, your control.
  • Docker deployment
    Simple container-based deployment
  • Umbrel & Start9
    Targeted for self-hosted app store distribution
