@anypay/walletbot

Self-custody, headless wallet service that runs as a daemon process within your data center. It manages your software operation's private keys so that your apps can securely send payments on any peer to peer payments network.

Installation and Setup

The application runs as a long-running process which should be managed by k8s, docker, or your system service manager such as systemd or similar. It may be run in a node.js environment or as an isolated docker container. The single process requires no additional services such as database servers to be run.
