Architecting a Self-Sovereign Economy with Synonym
summary
A new company called Synonym ships a bitcoin-only stack aimed at a self-sovereign economy: a mobile wallet (shipping Q1 next year), a Block Tank LSP API for automated channel liquidity, and lightning tokens for instant tokenized credit. A web-of-trust protocol called slash tags (accounts, contacts, feeds, files, networks) plus hypercore-backed storage and an Omnibolt JS library are already on GitHub under MIT; a neutrino-style mobile node and LSP token support are in testing, all designed non‑custodial and interoperable.
