why

A wallet shaped like a terminal, not a tab.

01 — KEYS

Local-only keys

BIP-39 seed encrypted with Argon2id + ChaCha20-Poly1305. Never uploaded. Never escrowed. Yours.

02 — RESTORE

12 or 24 word seed

Standard BIP-39. Same mnemonic restores every supported chain. Optional 25th-word passphrase.

03 — LIGHT

No full node

Talks to Electrum servers, JSON-RPC endpoints, Monero LWS. No gigabytes of chain to sync. Bring your own node when you want privacy.

04 — MULTI

Multi-chain by default

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, BSC, plus the major Bitcoin forks. One binary. One seed. One keyboard.

05 — TERMINAL

ratatui-native

Truecolor TUI in any modern terminal. SSH-friendly. No Electron, no JVM, no QR-scan-from-phone dance.

06 — PRIVACY

Zero telemetry

No analytics, no update pings, no crash reports. Tor passthrough for every chain backend. Your money, your business.

chains

Bitcoin first. Ethereum next. Forks by market share.
