[beta] small amounts only. the staging key lives in this browser.
TLDR:
Most Bitcoin wallets cannot pay directly to a BIP352 silent payment address yet. silentpay.me acts as a browser-side staging flow.
- Enter a mainnet silent payment address, like
sp1.... - The browser creates a temporary Bitcoin wallet and shows a normal P2TR staging address.
- Send bitcoin from any wallet to that staging address.
- The app sweeps the staging UTXOs into a BIP352-compatible output for the entered silent payment address.
The service does not hold keys on a server. The staging private key is generated in the browser, saved locally while the payment is active, and shown as a recovery WIF.
Privacy note: this compatibility flow may make it easier to link the wallet payment to the silent-payment sweep, because the staging UTXO is visible on-chain. Both transactions use Taproot, but the UTXO link remains.
Enter an sp1... address. This page prints one normal Bitcoin address, then sweeps it forward when funded.
paid from the staging balance when the sweep broadcasts.
