Crays Circle Community App

Crays connects content creators, fans, communities, and hospitality venues through one Bitcoin-native app built on Nostr.  

Inside each venue, the Crays Super Node hardware operates as a local mesh hub and Nostr relay, enabling peer-to-peer payments, access control, and real-time social discovery — even offline. 

Crays Circle is your connection layer for the real world. Imagine an app that lets you connect, flirt, pay, tip, vote, and unlock real-world perks.

The result is a global Web3 network where digital monetization and real-world hospitality merge seamlessly — creating a new, decentralized economy of work, live, and play built entirely on Bitcoin.

A New Way to Connect
With Crays Circle, we're building more than just an app — we’re creating a decentralized layer for real-life interaction. Whether it's meeting someone new, tipping an artist, voting on an experience, or paying with crypto offline, this is about reclaiming presence in a hyperconnected world. Crays Circle reflects our belief that meaningful connection, privacy, and ownership should start locally — without reliance on internet providers or central platforms.

Always Connected

Onsite, Offsite, Worldwide

From festivals to airports to favorite cities, Crays Circle keeps connections alive wherever you go.

Conten Creators

Creators keep 100% of their earnings — no platform commissions, no hidden cuts, no intermediaries.

While most creators lose a significant share of their income to fees and restrictive algorithms, Crays gives them full ownership over their audience, their data, and their revenue.

They get direct access to their community, instant payouts, and complete independence from traditional content platforms. Crays gives creators the freedom to build, earn, and grow on their own terms — without anyone standing in between.

Lifestlye Hospitality Venues

Venues no longer pay payment-provider fees. Crays replaces traditional processors with a 2.5% network fee, which includes a comprehensive software suite for access, ordering, payments, analytics, and social community — all powered by a Bitcoin-native system.

Crays turns followers into real participants, giving them a stake in the communities they support.

Fans & Lifestyle Guests

Fans and guests get instant access to exclusive content, private communities, and real-world experiences without paying platform markups.

They can connect directly with their favorite creators and venues, unlock special perks, and enjoy loyalty rewards that actually belong to them — not to intermediaries.

Because the entire system runs on Bitcoin-native rails, payments are faster, cheaper, and globally accessible, giving every guest a smoother, more transparent experience.

Decentralized Mesh Infrastructure

Offline Blockchain Communication

Crays Circle transforms every smartphone into an autonomous smart node—capable of connecting, transacting, and communicating without internet. It’s a decentralized, offline-first system where the network lives in your pocket, not the cloud.

The Internet Is Optional. Connection Isn’t.
Crays Circle runs on a decentralized mesh powered by smartphones — no SIM, external Wi-Fi, or servers needed. Privacy, speed, and trust come built-in.
On-Device Smart Nodes - every smartphone runs independently as a Web3 smart node, enabling offline messaging, payments, and identity verification.
Wi-Fi Aware Connectivity - devices connect locally through Wi-Fi Aware, with no need for SIM cards, Wi-Fi, or internet providers.
Blockchain Anchors & Sync Hubs - Crays Super Nodes validate transactions, sync mesh data, and bridge to L1/L2 chains — without ever taking control.
Decentralized Node Communication Protocol (DNC) - Crays uses its own protocol to manage encryption, node identity, and trust through public keys and quorum validation.
Serverless by Design - no servers, no tracking — just secure, peer-to-peer communication in a fully decentralized, offline-first network.
Private by Default. Powered by You.
Crays Circle keeps your data on your device — not in the cloud. Connections are encrypted, peer-to-peer, and under your full control.
Local Data Ownership - all user data is stored directly on your device — including logins, posts, and messages. There’s no need for a cloud or central server.
Venue Nodes as Local Hubs - Venue Nodes host public event data and act as decentralized syncing points. They support the local mesh without ever storing private data.
Peer-to-Peer Sync - Devices sync directly via local mesh, letting users discover, message, and interact in real time. Everything happens instantly, without internet or SIM cards.
Encrypted Identity & Smart Routing - each device generates a unique Node ID and uses machine learning to route messages securely. Connections are encrypted.
Decentralization by Design - no user data is stored unless explicitly approved. It’s a truly serverless, peer-owned system — your data, your rules.

Where Experience Meets Infrastructure

1.
Transparency and Trust

Crays Circle is built on a foundation of decentralization, where trust doesn’t rely on platforms — it’s embedded in the protocol. No tracking, no data harvesting.

Guests connect directly, own their interactions, and every action is transparently logged and verifiable. It’s a system where privacy is respected, participation is empowered, and every connection is built on real trust.

2.
Global Accessibility and Speed

Crays Circle works wherever you go — instantly and without relying on internet providers. Powered by Wi-Fi Aware and mesh networking, it connects people directly, peer-to-peer, with zero delay.

Whether you're on a rooftop in Dubai, a beach in Tulum, or a festival in Berlin, Crays Circle moves with you. Fast, frictionless, and borderless — designed for a global lifestyle.

3.
Programmability and Utility

Crays Circle is more than a social tool — it’s a programmable layer for real-world interaction. From NFT-based access to dynamic rewards and real-time voting, every feature can be customized, tokenized, and scaled.

Venues, brands, and creators can design experiences that respond to guests in the moment — unlocking utility that adapts, evolves, and adds lasting value.
