Signed blocks
Blocks and records carry cryptographic signatures so peers can verify who created and authorized them.
Open prototype · alpha network
Payments for a more capable network.
Safire is an open peer-to-peer payment system being built for fast, reliable everyday transactions, with signed blocks and a path beyond mining.
Test software only. Do not use for real money or irreversible financial activity.
The network is the product
Simple to use. Deliberate under the hood.
Every node helps verify the same shared history. The current design explores membership, deterministic block selection, and recovery without relying on mining competition.
Peer recovery
Nodes are being built to resync, recover from forks, and continue after interruptions or sleep.
Membership model
Known network members can participate in block creation without a race to spend more energy mining.
Join the test network
Start with a wallet. Stay connected.
Download the current Mac client, connect to the bootstrap peer, and help exercise the network while the protocol evolves.
