SatsRail Shield

Somewhere in the terms of service, they found a reason. We built the rail that has none.

We can't see
what we move.

SatsRail is a blind payment rail. No content passes through us. No customer identity is required. Merchants choose privacy for their customers. The architecture makes surveillance impossible — not by policy, but by design.

By Design

What We Don't Know

We don't know what you sell

Content lives on your infrastructure. SatsRail sees invoices and amounts. Never content. We are a payment rail — what moves through us is not our business.

We don't know who pays

Lightning invoices are generated per-transaction. No accounts, no emails, no identity. A payment arrives. We confirm it. That's it.

We don't know what happens after

Payment confirmation triggers a key. What that key unlocks is between the merchant and the customer. We never see the content. We never see the viewer.

The Flow

How Blind Payments Work

SatsRail is in the middle for the invoice. Never for the funds or the content.

1

Customer requests content

The merchant's app calls SatsRail's API to create a Lightning invoice. We see the amount. Nothing else.

2

Customer pays over Lightning

Sats flow directly from the customer's wallet to the merchant's wallet. Peer-to-peer. SatsRail never holds funds.

3

SatsRail confirms payment

We verify the invoice was paid and deliver a decryption key. The key is the proof. No accounts, no sessions, no identity.

4

Content decrypts client-side

The key unlocks the content in the customer's browser. The decrypted content never touches a server. Sovereignty at the edge.

Non-Custodial

Your wallet. Your keys. Your sats.

SatsRail never holds, escrows, or routes funds. Customers pay directly to the merchant's Lightning address. We facilitate the invoice — the money never touches us.

No chargebacks because there's no intermediary to reverse through. No frozen accounts because there are no accounts to freeze. No seizure risk because there's nothing in custody.

What SatsRail Handles
Invoice generation Creates Lightning invoices via the merchant's wallet
Payment confirmation Verifies the invoice was paid, delivers the key
Webhook delivery Notifies the merchant app that payment succeeded

Never touches funds, content, or identity Architecturally impossible — not just policy

Nothing to Subpoena

No customer data required We don’t require merchants to collect customer identity. Privacy is the default.
No identity When there is no identity, there is nothing to freeze.
No custody When there are no funds in custody, there is nothing to seize.
No content When there is no content on our servers, there is nothing to censor.

This isn't a privacy policy. It's an engineering constraint.

No identity required. No content reviewed. No funds held.
