India runs on UPI, which is a payment network connecting over 500 million consumers and 65 million merchants.

To pay, you simply scan a QR code at the counter.

With the 256D Mini App on Fedi, you can now do the same with bitcoin. Scan the UPI QR code, pay from your Fedi wallet, and the merchant receives rupees.

2026-04-01T16:31:24+02:00

A few years back, Dimas (@Silatoshi_id), co-founder of Bitcoin Indonesia (BitcoinIndo21 (nprofile…c3gx)), had a vision of educating his countrypeople about Bitcoin.

He's since brought that vision to life in an exemplary fashion, as he and his team currently help organize 40 meetups per month across Indonesia, support codeorange (nprofile…n6f8) (an open-source developer training program), and run bitcoinhousebali (nprofile…hg2y). They've also even educated members of the office of Vice President of Indonesia about Bitcoin!

For these reasons and many more, we couldn't be more grateful that Dimas and his team are teaching Indonesians to transact with bitcoin using Fedi (nprofile…0es3)

To learn more about Dimas' story as well as how and why Fedi became the go-to Bitcoin payments app among Indonesians, please read frankcorva (nprofile…9s6p)'s full write-up on Dimas and Bitcoin Indonesia, which we've linked to in the comments.

This isn’t a trend.
It’s a movement.
And movements need Change Makers.

Change Makers:

Half-glass-fillers.
Opportunity creators.
Pioneering innovators.
Exceptional doers.

People who reshape reality and expand what is possible.

If this is you, Fedi has open roles across our mission tracks:

🏛 Federations Lead
🛡 Human Rights Defender Lead
🏘 Community Spaces Lead

BIG NEWS: We just got a huge design upgrade!🎉

Your Fedi wallet has been completely reimagined, inspired by your feedback.

Federations and Communities are now simpler, more flexible, and more complete than ever.

We've given Federation and Community their own dedicated spaces.

🏦 Federations are where your money lives – think of them as your community banks.

🤝 Your Community is where people come together – like your town square.

By separating them, each space has its own distinct purpose, making it clearer where to go for what you need.

Now you have even more flexibility.

Connect with your Community 🤝– chat with members, get updates, and access mini apps chosen by or recommended for your community.

And here's the best part: Your wallet now includes all your Federations — all in one place.

This is one of our biggest design updates, but there’s even more waiting for you!

Update the Fedi and see what’s new! ✨

#EcashCoffeeDay marks the first ecash transaction on bitcoin. ☕️Four years ago, with a cup of coffee, elsirion (nprofile…n5a2) proved that bitcoin could work like cash in your pocket but private. Today, this matters more than ever.

The full story by obi (nprofile…lces) on BitcoinMagazine (nprofile…wvc3) 👇
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/why-ecash-coffee-day-is-no-longer-just-a-celebration-but-a-call-to-action

That coffee bought with ecash was a legacy coming to life. David Chaum pioneered ecash in the 1980s with DigiCash. Hal Finney, who received the first Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi, foresaw the need for privacy and banking layers on Bitcoin. Eric's coffee brought both visions together. ☕️🔐

Four years on, the ecosystem is growing. fedimint (nprofile…lshg) , Cashu by calle (nprofile…h36r) , BitVM, Ark implemented by ArkLabs (nprofile…pl3m), Spark, WabiSabi, and Silent Payments prove Bitcoin can scale without sacrificing privacy. But who needs private payments? 🚀

Everyone, but especially the most vulnerable. Around the world, ecash is already being used by people under authoritarian regimes, activists and journalists facing surveillance, and families trying to transact safely without being monitored or censored. 🌍

#EcashCoffeeDay is more than a celebration – it’s a call to action. It’s a reminder that privacy is a non-negotiable cornerstone of freedom. Without privacy, Bitcoin risks becoming vulnerable to coercion and abuse. That coffee proved something essential: Private is Key 🗝️

Yes, on-chain deposits are now enabled by default for federations. This was released on the (25.7) update. However, federation guardians still have the option to turn off this feature at their discretion.

Thanks for sharing your learnings! Right now there are couple of public federations that people can use, and we're working to make it technically simple & cost-effective for anyone to set up their own federation.

Ultimately, we want to give users the option to either use public federations or run their own. Preferences will vary, and every model has its trade-offs, but there is strength in numbers.

It sounds like you're envisioning a "federation of federations," which isn't technically possible. A federation is akin to a multi-sig where each guardian node holds one key. It's possible for each server to be run by a larger org vs an individual, but each would still be a single entity.

Fedi is separate & distinct from the federations on our platform, so we're not sure if Freedom One's guardians will come back online / into consensus or resolve their Gateway issue.

Our suggestion would be to keep an eye on Fedimint Observer & the in-app status indicators. If/when you see these resolve, you can try to send your funds to another wallet at that point.

_________________________

Thanks for flagging! After reviewing https://observer.fedimint.org/, it seems 3/4 guardians are online, but even these are out of consensus with the block height - leaving the mint in a degraded state.

Being out of block height consensus should only affect on-chain transactions, but to your point LN transactions are still failing - so the issue is likely with their Lightning Gateway.
