OC Me

A Bitcoin-backed identity that pays you in sats every time you use it — no account, no KYC, no token.

Wilverified bitcoineridentitybitcoinlightning
§ team

Built by OrangeCheck as its consumer flagship — the same team behind the OC family protocols, the @orangecheck/* SDKs, the design system, and the non-custody auth host. me.ochk.io obeys the family charter and runs on the shared infrastructure.

§ traction

Live at me.ochk.io. A three-class billable-event taxonomy (A/B/C) meters real usage and pays users in sats — federation-custodied by Fedimint guardians by default, with a self-custody graduation flow; OC the company never holds user funds. Sybil resistance without KYC: paid-action history + a BIP-322 sat-bond attestation (the funds stay in the user's own wallet — OC only ever sees the attestation hash) + integrator-defined gates. No PII to OC, ever. Wallet sign-in across UniSat, Xverse, Leather, Alby, OKX, and Phantom. A reference integrator (Lumen Notes) demonstrates the model end to end. The charter, abuse limits, and funding architecture are all published.

§ the ask

A full-time product engineer to take the Lightning payout + federation rails to general availability, and capital to fund gateway liquidity and federation onboarding. Bonus: a designer who can make 'an identity that pays you' legible to people who aren't already Bitcoiners.

§ use of funds

Lightning-gateway liquidity — the last-mile payout rail (largest line). Federation onboarding + guardian coordination. A full-time engineer for the self-custody graduation flow. A third-party audit of the sat-bond attestation + payout path. Integrator-SDK polish + docs.

§ terms

Patronage, not equity. Backing endorses a public Bitcoin-identity layer and buys a sweat-equity conversation off-platform — never shares, tokens, a revenue cut, or a return. Sats settle peer-to-peer over Lightning; OC custodies nothing here.
