A live directory of Dojo nodes,
reachable only over Tor.
The Dojo Bay lists community-run Samourai and Ashigaru Dojo backends, connects to each one over Tor every ten minutes, and shows you which are answering right now, so you can pair a wallet to a full node you didn't have to run yourself. The directory is served as an onion service, so you will need Tor to open it.

What it is
A directory, not a custodian.
The Dojo Bay holds no keys and touches no funds. It publishes a list of independently operated Dojo nodes and keeps a live read on which ones are reachable.
Onion-only by design
The directory has no clearnet endpoint. It is reached through Tor, the same network the Dojos themselves run on, so operators and users share one anonymity layer end to end.
Checked every ten minutes
An automated probe connects to each node through Tor and reads the chain tip. A node counts as active only when its whole stack answers: Tor, the web server, the Dojo API and bitcoind serving block data.
Signed, not trusted
Operators can sign their pairing code with their BIP47 payment code. Your wallet verifies that signature against their notification address, so a pairing payload is proven to come from the operator rather than from whoever runs the directory. A forged or tampered entry does not pass.
The wallets
What a Dojo is for.
A Dojo is the backend a wallet talks to. These are the wallets that pair with the nodes listed in the directory.
Ashigaru
The actively maintained fork, released by the Ashigaru Open Source Project under GPLv3 after Samourai's development ended. A Dojo node is required rather than optional, which is what this directory exists to help with.
ashigaru.rsSentinel
The watch-only companion for keys you keep offline. Sentinel tracks addresses and extended public keys without ever holding a private key, derives the next unused receive address, and broadcasts transactions signed on an airgapped device. Paired with a Dojo, none of it touches someone else's server.
Source & releasesSamourai
The original wallet, and the software Dojo was first written for. Development stopped in April 2024 when its founders were arrested, and it is no longer distributed or maintained. Kept here for reference only.
Archived site (2024)Do not use the live Samourai domain. The link above is a 2024 snapshot held by the Internet Archive. The domain itself, samouraiwallet.com, was seized in 2024 and has since passed to a third party serving a convincing fake of the original site; anything downloaded from it should be treated as malicious.
Getting connected
Get on Tor in a few minutes.
You need a Tor-capable browser to open the directory. Install the right one for your device, then come back and paste the address above.
Desktop
The official Tor Browser from the Tor Project. This is the reference build, with the strongest fingerprinting and tracking protections.
Download Tor BrowserAndroid
Tor Browser for Android is an official Tor Project app, with the same multi-relay routing as desktop. Grab it from the same download page or F-Droid.
Get it for AndroidiPhone & iPad
There is no Tor Browser for iOS: Apple requires every iOS browser to use its own WebKit engine, and Tor Browser is a Firefox build. The Tor Project recommends Onion Browser, open source and Tor-routed, as the closest option.
Get Onion BrowserInstall and open it
Only ever download Tor from torproject.org (or Onion Browser from the App Store). Let it connect to the network.
Paste the address
Copy the .onion address from the top of this page into the Tor address bar.
Browse the directory
See which Dojos are live, open a node's pairing details, and connect your Samourai or Ashigaru wallet.
One habit worth keeping: only ever fetch Tor from the official site, and, if you can, verify the download signature. See the Tor Project's verification guide.
Operators & builders
Run a node, or read the code.
The Dojo Bay is a static front end with no build step and no framework: plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, released under the MIT licence. The reachability checker, the onion deployment and the operator submission flow are all in the repository.
If you run a Dojo, you can submit it to the directory; if you would rather host the whole thing yourself, a single command runs a text-based (TUI) installer that stands the stack up in one step, with the rest documented in the README.
- No build step, no framework, no CDN
- Self-hostable as an onion service
- One-command TUI installer
- Auth47 operator submissions
- MIT licensed
