Is Mali decentralized?
Mali marries Solana's speed with privacy-preserving mints. Each mint operates transparently with reserve proofs while the protocol keeps user exchanges peer-to-peer.
Setting the thesis
Mali — Offline Digital Cash on Solana
Paying should feel like an easy, face-to-face exchange—no wires, no fuss, just a discreet handoff in the digital age.
Mali revives that feeling with an ecash protocol built for Solana and ready for stablecoins, so every payment can happen offline, on your timetable, and in confidence.
- Promise the ease of passing a folded banknote—tap, scan, or share even when network bars dwindle to zero.
- Transactions between friends, customers, or service providers respect the user's privacy as a founding rule.
- Solana's velocity and stablecoin compatibility provide the modern backbone without intruding on the ritual.

Simple. Send money as easily as passing a note.
Load your Mali wallet with mals and hand them off in seconds—even when you're in airplane mode. Friends, family, and merchants get paid without waiting on a connection.
Choose who you're sending to, enter the amount, add an optional note, and confirm. The full record syncs automatically the moment you're back online.
- Tap, scan, or bump devices—offline handoffs stay instant and private.
- Preview the exact amount before you confirm, no surprise fees.
- Leave a short note to remember why the mals moved.
Private. No IDs, approvals, or KYC gates.
Mali works the moment you install it—no passport scans, selfies, or long forms. Offline cash should feel like cash, so we skip the gatekeeping and let devices hold the trust.
Anonymous Approval-free Borderless
- No KYC calls or waiting rooms—install, mint, and move mals immediately.
- Balances and history stay encrypted on-device until you choose to sync.
- Share value peer-to-peer without exposing identity or paperwork.

FAQ preview
What people ask first
How do offline payments stay secure?
Mals are cryptographic tokens signed by the mint. Devices verify signatures locally, and once a token redeems, it is retired—no reruns, no doubles.
What happens if a mint disappears?
Reserve statements and redemption rails sit on Solana. Should a mint exit, holders can redeem into stablecoins they already know, or swap through other active mints.
Why Mali over the usual crypto wallets?
Mali behaves like cash—instant, private, and human. No seed phrase anxiety during checkout, no gas spikes, and offline handoffs that feel like handing over a note.
