## Resolvr's newest release:  <img title="" src="https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BktxxII36.png" alt="" width="25">  **Keystache** - A place to stash your Nostr keys

![Keystache web](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BySE1II2p.png)

**Keystache** is a desktop app that enables you to keep all of your nostr keys in a single application rather than pasting your nsec into every application you install on the desktop. It's similar to the nostr support that web extensions like alby or nos2x provide.

**Keystache** provides an API (Over a Unix Domain Socket) for other MacOS desktop applications to request a public key (used to sign in to other apps) or request an event be signed.

But wait, there's MOAR!  **Keystache** works with Resolvr's bounty desktop app (or any other desktop nostr client!) to zap bounty payouts (or any other  zappable event!) with ANY bitcoin lightning wallet through a simple QR code interface!

Resolvr provides organizations with community/industry-specific Private Legal Systems (PLSs). These PLSs have instant and programmatic enforcement of arbitration decisions through the bitcoin network, creating trust and assurances across borders to reduce and manage risk.

### <img title="" src="https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJ3w6S82T.png" alt="" width="25"> There are some complex issues facing the Bitcoin ecosystem:
Bitcoin and L2 tech like the Lightning Network open new markets for goods and services by eliminating currency mismatch and providing instant settlement.
BUT many markets are characterized by **low trust** and **lack of assurances**, especially emerging markets. Transactions in these markets remain inefficient and often prohibitively risky.

### 🔧 What Resolvr is building to (re)solve this complexity:
* Our **Private Legal Systems** provide assurances of how risk will be managed and how conflicts can be programmatically resolved, while being incorporated directly into currency- and location-agnostic transaction flows.
* **Bespoke and customized to each community**, yet programatic and flexible, our PLSs will revolutionize entire industries by drivings costs down and de-risking deployment of capital, paving the way for new heights of innovation & prosperity.
* The value of the Resolvr PLS is hard to understate. It is nothing less than the **transparent, decentralized, and globally accessible legal system** required for human flourishing in the exponential age, with massive short term opportunities in very specific B2B use cases (more below).
* **Bounties** are our sandbox and a solution we'd like to use ourselves, as well as make available to the FOSS community.
* Resolvr's PLSs will rely on the very same components (nostr, lightning, DLCs, reputation propagation, Keystache, Fedimint) that are part of our current and target tech arch, our "**justice protocol**".
