Self-Custody Payments: Users Sign, Funds Stay Secured
Self-Custody Payments: Users Sign, Funds Stay Secured
Self-custody is NAKA's core principle. For the first time, a payment system enforces real-time, on-chain signatures for every transaction. No custodial wallets. Complete user control, global acceptance.
NAKA provides the stablecoin-native infrastructure stack that makes payments programmable, instant, and universally accepted.

Security
If a custodial provider is breached, user funds can be drained; with NAKA, no attacker can spend without the user’s key signature.
