Groundwire Explainer
Groundwire is a Bitcoin-friendly OS built on Urbit. It's a full virtual computer tuned for sovereign computing applications, especially Bitcoin.
Nostr Social Client
Nostrill is an Urbit-native Nostr client lets you connect with other Bitcoiners through a self-hosted, censorship-resistant social layer.
Bitcoin-based Networking
Groundwire migrated Urbit IDs away from the Ethereum ERC-721 standard, ensuring networking keys align with Bitcoin-native primitives.
Technically speaking, Groundwire rewires Urbit networking so comets can publish keys through Bitcoin ordinal inscriptions—pairing sovereign identity with a resilient, Bitcoin-aligned stack.
