Livenimimo
Receive crypto in seconds, and own your address like you own your name. One link receives Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and USDC, with no app, no exchange and no KYC, and the keys never leave your device.

02Overview
nimimo is a non-custodial crypto identity layer. One link, such as nimimo.com/@chris, receives Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and USDC, abstracting wallet complexity away from the person being paid. You share a name, not a wallet address.
The architecture deliberately separates access, identity, ownership and recovery, with keys remaining fully on-device. Its cryptographic core is open source under AGPL-3.0 as nimimo-core, while the hosted product surface stays closed.
03Process
Step 1: Get your name
Sign up with an email and get a name instantly, with its own link at nimimo.com/@you.
Step 2: Share your link
Send the one link anywhere, instead of a long address per chain.
Step 3: Get paid
The sender opens the link, picks a chain and pays from any wallet or app. Nobody installs anything, and nothing in between ever holds the money.
Step 4: Recover without a seed phrase
Instead of a seed phrase, you create an encrypted recovery file locked with a PIN, keep the two apart, and restore on any device.
04By design
Keys on your device. Keys are generated in your browser and never leave it. The server never holds a key.
Four separate axes. Access, identity, ownership and recovery are kept apart, so none of them can escalate authority into another.
Recovery the server cannot open. The recovery file is encrypted in the browser, and nimimo never holds the file or the PIN.
An auditable core. The cryptographic core is open source under AGPL-3.0, so the keys, the identity layer and the device-bound encryption are publicly auditable, and it can be self-hosted.
05Honest status
Live and usable as is. It is mostly feature-complete, so active development is on hold for now. A lightweight developer SDK maps a name to its addresses with no API key.
