GriffNode
Non-custodial crypto payment gateway you run from an MCP client: check balances, create payment links, read your plan and top up, with funds going straight to your own wallet so the agent can never spend.

Untouchable by Design
Not a promise — a structure. Your money never passes through us, so it can't be frozen, hacked, or held. And you don't have to take our word for any of it.
We never hold your money
Your customer pays crypto straight into your own wallet. GriffNode isn't a stop on the way — there's no account holding your funds, so there's nothing for anyone to freeze, review, or claw back.
An xPub can only receive
You share an extended public key. By math, it can only generate receiving addresses — it can never spend or move a cent. Your private keys never leave your wallet. Even we cannot touch your funds. That's not policy; it's cryptography.
Even if we're hacked
There is nothing to steal. We hold no keys and no balances. A breach of GriffNode can't drain a single wallet — the worst case can't reach your money, because your money was never here.
Don't trust us — verify us.
