Primal has a built-in Bitcoin wallet, but you don't need to understand crypto to use it. Think of it like built-in Venmo — you can send small tips to creators you like, or ignore it entirely. The social experience works the same either way.

Primal makes money when users choose to pay for optional services. There are no ads, and we don't sell data. We think it's important that our incentives stay aligned with the people who use the app.

Yes! Primal has a growing community of active users. Your posts appear in feeds, search, and can be found by anyone on any Nostr app. The more people who join, the bigger the network gets.

Absolutely. Many people post on both while they transition. There's no pressure to delete Instagram — just start building on something you actually own.
