Sigil is creating a financial platform for marginalized creators, offering non-custodial BTC and USDC transactions with a 95% payout rate, USD conversion, and chargeback protection, while supporting mutual aid.

Marginalized creators deserve access to financial services.

Sigil is developing infrastructure that connects creators and merchants to the users that want to pay them— without being discriminated against by traditional payment processors.

Sigil provides non-custodial lightning BTC and USDC transactions at a 95% payout rate, facilitating transactions from user-to-user, user-to-small business, and for enterprise systems. The software includes an easy USD to crypto conversion system for a frictionless experience, as well as chargeback protection. Sigil also designates a percentage of revenue to a collectively-managed mutual aid fund.

The co-founders have over 20 years experience in the fintech and web3 space combined, with previous experience as early team members at Y Combinator backed startups, have participated in Wharton’s VIPX accelerator program, and built successful venture-backed platforms.
