El Salvador, August 25, 2025 -- NFT pics had their moment, but they didn’t hold value you could actually use. Piggy flips that idea on its head. It is a one-of-a-kind digital collectible that doubles as a real Bitcoin piggy bank, ready to save, gift, and grow. This is a revolutionary approach to personal finance, built on the Lightning Network for instant, near-zero-cost Bitcoin transactions, and secured with the latest Merkle tree verification technology.

“Piggy makes Bitcoin gifting personal, playful, and practical,” said Chebi, Chief Design Officer at Piggy. “Built for Bitcoiners by Bitcoiners, it is more than sending value. You are sending a Piggy with its own style, story, and purpose. Lock it for a goal, pass it forward, fund a dream, collect tips, start a kids’ fund, or build for retirement. Each Piggy keeps Bitcoin safe while making the experience engaging.”

Gift a Collectible That Stacks

Pick your Piggy. Load it with Bitcoin. Add a personal note. Lock it until a date, milestone, or target price. Share a secure link and PIN, and it is theirs the moment it unlocks. Every Piggy comes with:

• A Piggy handle such as handl.e@pig.gy (also the Lightning Address)
• A Lightning wallet for instant Bitcoin transactions, perfect for micropayments
• An Apple Wallet pass for balance and quick access

Every Piggy has a unique QR code, so it can be showcased anywhere. Friends, fans, or supporters can scan and send Bitcoin tips instantly.

Key Features

• Distinct animated designs, no copy-paste art
• Bitcoin-only, secured in multi-signature cold storage
• Smart-Lock for goal or date-based savings
• Simple Bitcoin guide included for first-time users
• Built on the Lightning Network for free, instant Bitcoin micropayments

Beyond Gifting

Once received, a Piggy can:

• Fund a goal, from a big trip to a rainy-day stash
• Crowdfund, collect Bitcoin directly without middlemen
• Receive tips via Lightning Address or QR code
• Start a kids’ fund, lock sats for milestones
• Build retirement savings, disciplined and inflation-resistant

Security and Transparency

Piggy balances, locked or not, live in multi-signature cold storage with keys kept in separate, independent locations. Monthly on-chain Merkle proofs verify that every sat is in place using transparent, verifiable cryptography. Access is protected by passkeys for password-free, phishing-resistant sign-ins. A separate treasury for operational funds ensures user balances are never mixed.

Innovation Roadmap

Every Piggy has a backstory, personality, and Fungi score, a scarcity and contribution measure, not a token. Development is underway on AI-powered features and a Machine-to-Machine Payment (MCP) server, enabling safe, user-approved automation and AI-to-AI transactions. Piggy is pioneering the blend of Bitcoin, Lightning Network, and verifiable Merkle tree proofs to create a secure, future-ready savings companion, always keeping user control at the center.
