According to BeInCrypto, a developer successfully sent Bitcoin from an offline device using Apple’s Find My network in conjunction with the Cashu ecash protocol and nearby iPhones. The demonstration involved an offline wallet or device capable of storing cryptocurrency without internet access, paired with the Cashu system that leverages peer‑to‑peer connections through Apple’s Find My infrastructure. Nearby iPhone users facilitated the relay of the transaction without requiring direct contact or cloud interaction.
The method relied on Apple’s existing Find My functionality, which allows devices to locate each other over a low‑power network when they are in proximity. Cashu provided the necessary cryptographic and messaging layer to move Bitcoin between the offline sender and receiving iPhones. No additional software was installed on the receiving iPhones beyond what is normally part of the Find My experience; the transfer occurred via the protocol built into Cashu.
The developer did not disclose exact steps for replication, nor provide technical specifications such as code snippets or version numbers. The demonstration aimed to show feasibility rather than offer a ready‑to‑use solution. It underscores interest in using established mobile infrastructure for decentralized cash movement while keeping the sending device offline.
