Bridgelet is an open-source infrastructure SDK that lets organizations send payments to recipients who don't have crypto wallets yet. It creates secure, single-use Stellar accounts that automatically bridge recipients into permanent wallets when they claim funds — no seed phrases, no upfront wallet setup, no friction.
It's built for mass payment scenarios: payroll, aid disbursements, airdrops, and remittances, where requiring recipients to understand crypto concepts upfront just doesn't work.
The problem: Mass payments fail when recipients don't have wallets or understand seed phrases. The solution: Temporary accounts recipients can claim without any crypto knowledge, with funds auto-swept to a permanent wallet.
- ✅ Single-use ephemeral Stellar accounts
- ✅ No seed phrase management for recipients
- ✅ Automatic sweep to permanent wallets
- ✅ Time-based expiration with fund recovery
- ✅ Composable with existing payment platforms (e.g. Stellar Disbursement Platform)
