Verify Bitcoin Without Trusting Anyone.
Full-node level verification without the cost, hassle, or middlemen.
Bitcoin was meant to be trustless. But most people still trust middlemen.
Running a full node is expensive
Full Bitcoin nodes require significant storage, bandwidth, and technical knowledge. Most users can't or won't run one.
Centralized APIs are the easy option
Most developers and users rely on third-party APIs like Blockstream, Blockchain.com, or Infura to access blockchain data.
Trust is reintroduced
This creates a new trust layer that Bitcoin was designed to eliminate. You're trusting these services to provide accurate data.

Where Things Went Wrong
The Bitcoin ecosystem has drifted away from its trustless roots.
Centralized services can be wrong
They can go down, make mistakes, or censor data. When they're wrong, everyone relying on them is wrong too.
They control access
If they block your transaction, you might never know. Your access to the blockchain is at their discretion.
Bitcoin was supposed to remove trust
But it crept back in. Third-party APIs became the new gatekeepers, reintroducing the very trust Bitcoin aimed to eliminate.
The more we rely on centralized services, the further we drift from Bitcoin's core promise: trustless verification.
A Better Way to Verify Bitcoin
Instead of trusting one company, let the network prove the truth.
Transaction Verification
How Facto Works
Facto creates a network of independent verifiers who stake their reputation and assets on providing accurate Bitcoin data. No single point of failure, no centralized control.
Trust-Minimized
No single point of failure. Multiple independent verifiers reach consensus on blockchain data.
Fast & Lightweight
No full node needed. Get the security of a full node with the convenience of an API.
Staked Verifiers
Verifiers lose money if they lie. Economic incentives align with honest behavior.
Built for Bitcoiners
No unnecessary complexity. Simple, reliable verification that stays true to Bitcoin's principles.
Bitcoin, But More Practical
Facto brings back Bitcoin's original vision—just without the trade-offs. Get the security of running your own node with the convenience of an API.
Our network of independent verifiers ensures that you're getting accurate blockchain data without having to trust a single centralized service.
