About

We collect five things, and check none of them.

Opening an account takes a name, a phone number, an email address, a username and a passphrase. Nothing on that list is verified: no document, no selfie, no proof of address, no source-of-funds questionnaire, no queue waiting to approve you. You finish the form and the wallet works.

01

What this is

A wallet holds one Bitcoin address and moves a balance out of it. That is the entire job. Ananyums does that job and stops there: no lending desk, no staking, no token list, no portfolio score, no feed of assets you were meant to want.

It is custodial, and that word is doing real work. Your balance sits on our ledger rather than on a key only you hold. A transfer between accounts is a pair of ledger entries — your balance falls by the total, the recipient's rises by the amount — which is why it lands at once. If you want sole control of a key, a self-custody wallet is the right tool and this is not it.

02

What is in the file

Every field a company collects is a field it can lose, be compelled to hand over, or quietly sell. Encryption postpones that. A policy only promises against it. The record that reliably survives a breach is the one that was never written down.

So the rule is narrow enough to check: a fact that is not needed to move a payment does not become a row in the database. Your name, phone number and email are in the file because the signup form asks for them, and they sit there exactly as typed — nothing is matched against a document, a bureau or a register. Everything further down the usual list was never asked for at all.

It is also why identifying values are drawn the way they are drawn here. Addresses and counterparties sit behind a black bar until you ask for them, so a wallet open on a laptop in a café is not a document anyone else can read across the table. The full file is set out below.

03

What nobody here can do for you

Lose the passphrase and the account stays shut. We hold a hash, not the phrase, so there is nothing to read back and nothing to restore on your behalf. There is no security question and no identity document to fall back on, because we refused both at the start. Keep the passphrase somewhere you will still have it in a year.

Send to the wrong destination and the balance has moved. An address that is not an account here is refused before anything leaves your balance, and your own address is refused too. An address that does belong to someone else is credited the moment you confirm, and we do not reach into their balance to take it back. Read the destination before you press send, and send a small amount first when it is new to you.

Both of those are the cost of the sections above. An operator with the power to reverse your payment or reissue your account is an operator with the power to do it to you, on request, without asking.

04

Bitcoin, and only Bitcoin

Each additional asset is another fee model, another set of units, another set of failure cases to get right at two in the morning. One asset, handled carefully, is worth more than twenty handled at the level of a listing page.

The full sheet — units, precision, what a transfer actually does, and what a send costs — is on the Bitcoin spec sheet.

The record

The whole account file, on one page.

14 rows, including the ones that were never filled. Each describes how the wallet is built, not how we would like it to sound.

Every field an Ananyums account holds, what it contains, and its state.

Unverified means the value was typed by you and stored as typed. It was not checked against a document, a database or anybody else's record.
