Operate your Cashu mint from Orchard's Home screen, a summary of Bitcoin, Lightning, the mint, and ecash side by side, so the day-to-day is a glance instead of a terminal session.

A sovereign Cashu mint runs every layer of the Bitcoin stack. They all converge here.
Your home page gives you an operational overview of all the services you run in a single place.
