Intro

Why Verify?

Once Bitcoin is sent, you cannot get it back. A wrong address is fatal.

Branta is optional and super quick. With one click or QR scan, you can verify the address without contacting your counterparty.

What is Address Verification?

Branta offers a way to verify Payments, with one click, from any device.

If you see Green " ✅ Address Verified" , you can be sure the address is indeed from the vendor.

If you see Red "❌ Address Not Verified" , something is up.

What do I have to do?

There are no refunds in Bitcoin! When your browser shows a Bitcoin Address or Lightning Invoice to pay, you can optionally click the Branta Link shown at checkout. This has a few advantages:

• A second source to match against: You're no longer trusting the Merchant website only, in case an evil browser extension changes the address on yourmerchant.com

• If the address shown on Branta matches the address shown on the Merchants website, you have extra confidence the address is correct

• Cross-Device Confidence: You can open the Branta Link on a separate phone or computer for an additional layer of confidence

• Merchants can anonymize checkout to a UUID only shown at checkout.

How does it work?

Businesses accepting Bitcoin can onboard with Branta. After onboarding, customers can verify payments from any device, anywhere in the world.
