Bitcoin Wallets Can Now Show You Exactly Who You're Paying — Here's Why That's a Big Deal for Self-Custody
78d ago · 1 source
Manna Wallet has integrated Branta's Guardrails technology to display verified merchant details during self-custodial Bitcoin transactions. This means users can now see confirmed information about who they're sending Bitcoin to before completing a payment, adding a layer of trust and fraud prevention to peer-to-peer transactions.
WHY IT MATTERS
Imagine sending money through Venmo — you can see the person's name and photo before you send. Now imagine sending Bitcoin from your own wallet: all you see is a random jumble of letters and numbers, with no way to confirm it's really going to the right place. That's been a major pain point. This integration is like adding a caller ID to Bitcoin payments — you can now see verified details about the merchant before you hit send, which helps prevent scams and makes paying with Bitcoin feel much safer. And importantly, you still keep full control of your own money, unlike using a bank or app that holds your funds for you.
