What is Anonomi Paylinks?
Anonomi Paylinks lets publishers embed a Donate button on their website or blog without exposing a long-lived wallet address.
Each time a donor clicks the button, a fresh subaddress is generated — reducing the risk of address correlation and surveillance.
Who is it for?
Section titled “Who is it for?”Paylinks is designed for publishers under pressure:
- Journalists
- Bloggers
- Activists
- Content creators in hostile environments
Anyone who needs to receive donations privately, without exposing a static wallet address that can be tracked, correlated, or used against them.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”For publishers (donees)
Section titled “For publishers (donees)”- Go to Create Paylink
- Enter your Monero primary address and private view key
- Configure optional settings (label, index range)
- Get a Donate button snippet to embed on your site
The private view key is stored encrypted on the server and used only to derive receive-only subaddresses. We never ask for your spend key — we can’t move your funds.
For donors
Section titled “For donors”- Click the Donate button on the publisher’s site
- Optionally enter an amount and description
- Receive a fresh subaddress and QR code
- Send the payment using your Monero wallet app
What makes it different?
Section titled “What makes it different?”No persistent address
Section titled “No persistent address”Traditional donation buttons expose a single wallet address that:
- Can be tracked on the blockchain
- Can be correlated with other payments
- Creates a permanent link between you and your donors
Paylinks generates a fresh subaddress for each donation request, breaking that chain.
No wallet exposure
Section titled “No wallet exposure”You never share your spend key. The server only has your view key (encrypted), which can generate receiving addresses but cannot spend funds.
No metadata stored
Section titled “No metadata stored”We don’t log:
- Donor IP addresses
- Payment amounts
- Timestamps
- Descriptions
The payment metadata exists only in the donor’s browser during the request.
Important distinction
Section titled “Important distinction”Paylinks is a separate tool from Payment Requests inside Anonomi Messenger.
| Feature | Paylinks | Messenger Payment Requests |
|---|---|---|
| Use case | Public donation buttons | Private peer-to-peer payments |
| Audience | Publishers with websites | Contacts in secure conversations |
| Address generation | Server-side (view key) | Client-side (in wallet) |
If you’re exchanging payment info with a trusted contact, use Messenger. If you need a public donation button, use Paylinks.
