Bitcoin Without the Burden: Breez and Turnkey Revolutionize Backend Apps

In a move that could significantly boost mainstream adoption of bitcoin, Breez and Turnkey have joined forces to create a seamless integration of non-custodial bitcoin wallets into backend-run apps. This innovative solution addresses a long-standing challenge in the industry, where companies have been forced to choose between redesigning their infrastructure or holding user keys, which comes with significant licensing requirements, legal liability, and security burdens.

By automating payouts and adding non-custodial bitcoin services, large-scale apps can offer their users a secure and seamless experience without taking custody of their funds.

Under the new partnership, Turnkey's secure enclaves will generate and store user keys, while Breez's server mode will enable a single backend to manage millions of users without storing keys. The approval flow will be handled through a credential, such as a passkey registered with Turnkey at signup, which will be used to prepare and display transactions for user approval.

This partnership marks a significant step towards making bitcoin more accessible to large-scale apps, including exchanges, fintechs, and neobanks. By automating payouts and adding non-custodial bitcoin services, these companies can offer their users a secure and seamless experience without taking custody of their funds. As the industry continues to evolve, it's likely that we'll see more partnerships like this emerge, further expanding the reach of bitcoin and its applications.
