- Executive Summary

Ijma (Arabic: إجماع, meaning "consensus") is a self-custody Bitcoin/Lightning wallet that doubles as a decentralized identity solution through deep Nostr integration. It bridges traditional Bitcoin custody with emerging ecash systems (Cashu/Fedimint) while maintaining enterprise-grade security and consumer-friendly UX.

- Core Philosophy: Consensus between security and usability, sovereignty and convenience, power user features and beginner-friendly design.

Ijma Wallet represents a comprehensive vision for the next generation of Bitcoin wallets - one that embraces the full spectrum of Bitcoin innovation from base layer to Lightning to ecash, while integrating seamlessly with decentralized identity through Nostr.

- Key Differentiators:

• Identity + Money: First wallet to truly unify identity and payments

• Security without compromise: Enterprise security meets consumer UX

• Ecosystem integration: Works with everything in the Bitcoin/Nostr universe

• Progressive complexity: Grows with user sophistication

• Community-driven: Open source, transparent, user-owned

- Product Vision: “Sovereign. Private. Halal.”

A non-custodial Bitcoin wallet that integrates Lightning, Nostr, Cashu, and Fedimint—built for users who value privacy, autonomy, and ethical finance. It’s not just a wallet; it’s a sanctuary for digital dignity.

- Privacy-First Architecture:

• No custody, no surveillance: Users hold their own keys. No tracking, no profiling.

• Cashu & Fedimint: Enable anonymous, Chaumian e-cash and community custody.

• Nostr integration: Decentralized identity and messaging—no centralized servers.

• Open-source transparency: Every line of code is auditable and forkable.

- Shariah Compliance Foundations :

• No Riba (interest): The wallet does not facilitate lending or borrowing with interest.

• No Gharar (excessive uncertainty): Clear fee structures, transparent routing, and no hidden risks.

• No Maysir (gambling): No speculative trading or high-risk financial instruments.

• Recognition of Maal (valuable property): Bitcoin is treated as a legitimate store of value and medium of exchange, aligning with scholarly views that affirm its halal status.

• Zakat & Sadaqah modules (future roadmap): Optional tools to calculate and donate directly from wallet.

The name "Ijma" (consensus) reflects the wallet's core mission: achieving consensus between competing priorities - security vs. usability, privacy vs. convenience, simplicity vs. power, individual sovereignty vs. social connection.

This wallet doesn't just store bitcoin - it becomes your sovereign digital identity and your gateway to the decentralized future.
