Bitcoin Jungle operates as a nonprofit, open-source community project built on the proven Bitcoin Beach/Galoy wallet codebase, which has been battle-tested in El Salvador's circular economy. The project maintains transparency through its open-source foundation, allowing anyone to audit the underlying code.
The wallet implements daily transaction limits and automated internal audits for suspicious activity to protect users. Data is encrypted in transit, and the project does not hold bank accounts, reducing counterparty risk. With over 380 merchant locations accepting Bitcoin in Costa Rica and average payments under 20,000 colones (~$35 USD), the system is designed for everyday spending rather than large-value storage.
Bitcoin Jungle is a member of the Bitcoin Association of Costa Rica and has built strong local trust since launching in late 2021, with 80% of users being Costa Rican residents. The project operates without fees or commissions, demonstrating its community-first, non-commercial mission.
