Description

Proton Wallet is a secure, easy-to-use crypto wallet that gives you sole control of your BTC. We designed Proton Wallet for Bitcoin newcomers, offering an intuitive experience while ensuring only you can access your BTC. Unlike other self-custodial wallets, Proton Wallet offers seamless multi-device support so you can use your wallet from any mobile device or web browser. Similar to how Proton Mail made encrypted email easy-to-use for 100 million users, we hope Proton Wallet can help everyone around the world safely use Bitcoin in a peer-to-peer and self-sovereign way. ** Not your keys, not your coins ** Proton Wallet creates your wallet using a BIP39 standard seed phrase, ensuring seamless recovery and interoperability with other self-custodial wallets, including hardware wallets. This also means you can easily import existing wallets or recover your Proton wallets on other services. Your encryption keys and wallet data are protected with end-to-end encryption, so no one else — not even Proton — can access them. Proton Wallet makes storing and transacting with Bitcoin simple while encrypting all your sensitive data, giving you financial sovereignty and privacy. Proton servers cannot access your BTC and do not even know your historic transactions and balances. ** Freely transact onchain ** The Bitcoin network is the most decentralized, censorship-resistant and secure financial network. Every transaction from Proton Wallet is mined by the Bitcoin network and recorded forever on the Bitcoin blockchain so no one can dispute it. You will pay the current network fee to Bitcoin miners to include your transaction in the blockchain, but no transaction fee is charged by Proton Wallet. Proton Wallet is free for everyone because we believe financial freedom and privacy should be available to all. ** Send Bitcoin via Email ** Bitcoin transactions are permanent and there's no bank you can call if you make a mistake. Copying the wrong 26-character Bitcoin address can be catastrophic. Proton Wallet's unique Bitcoin via Email feature means you only need to verify another Proton Wallet user's email instead, reducing the likelihood of errors. Each BTC address is cryptographically signed with PGP by the recipient's app, ensuring that it belongs to the recipient. ** Keep transactions and balances private ** Due to our incorporation in Switzerland, your data is protected by some of the world's strictest privacy laws. We also minimize data on servers by encrypting all transaction metadata (including amounts, senders, recipients, and notes) on user devices. Each time you receive BTC from someone with Bitcoin via Email, we automatically rotate your BTC addresses, protecting your privacy and making it difficult to connect your transactions on the public blockchain. ** Multiple BTC wallets and accounts ** Proton Wallet makes it easy for you to create multiple wallets, each with its own 12-word seed phrase for recovery. Inside each wallet, you can also create multiple BTC accounts to organize and separate your assets for better privacy. After the default wallet, subsequent wallet creations support an optional passphrase as another layer of protection. Free users can have up to 3 wallets and 3 accounts per wallet. ** Protect your Bitcoin with Proton ** Choose a crypto wallet that's transparent, open source, optimized for Bitcoin, and puts you in control. You can protect your wallet with two-factor authentication and activate Proton Sentinel, our AI-powered advanced account protection system that identifies and blocks malicious logins. Our 24/7 specialist support team is always ready to assist you. Download Proton Wallet now and start protecting your financial freedom.

    I am editing my review, from what the app delivers now, certainly top tier!! I would still love a feature where, like Apple wallet, you could hide your real CC info on wallet so in case of breaches, no one has your true card details in the future. That would get me to do a 5 star rating easy peasy:) love proton and what they stand for!!
  • Keep it simple

    Please don’t overload it with unnecessary features. It would also be great to see support for Ethereum, Solana, and XRP in the future. Thanks

    How an app launches without a dark mode option, after this long, in 2025 is beyond me…

    When the wallet was announced I was immediately skeptical about this route - Bitcoin custodial wallet from Proton? I remember the history with Bitcoin as much as with Proton over the decade but I like others know the basic truth about cryptocurrency is that your keys are yours or else they are not your coins. Else you have custodial wallets running away with your coins and so on. Proton having this kind of setup threw me off as it’s custodial in a more “zero-knowledge” kind of way between you and Proton. So Proton is basically protecting you and themselves with PGP encryption about how much you have with their wallet while also offerring the seeds to export your wallet to your own secure custody (or feel inclined to import it to Proton Wallet). There was also the complicated turmoil that Proton’s steering too off course about privacy products when Bitcoin itself isn’t exactly a private network by any means - but Monero as the real privacy king out there also has a bounty. Federal restrictions everywhere against custodial wallets holding Monero (don’t forget that Proton HAS to be compliant to governments to be a business). So as someone with just a bit of experience getting things wrong and right in cryptocurrencies: this is a solid start for the game. The Bitcoin over email function is basically a direct “Zelle” layer and it simply works. You’re free to have as many wallets as you want and thankfully as a general golden tip Proton advises you to save your seeds away from simply counting on them to hold it because your wallet simply isn’t Proton’s to keep or store - it’s yours. It’s a good backup knowing PGP is battle tested and hardened but counting on yourself to back it up should Proton ever lose the wallet or even go under is true cryptocurrency sovereignty as it’s believed. The app’s smooth, very simple and somewhat intuitive on the basic features Bitcoin has (sending and receiving) like being able to choose what kind of Bitcoin protocol you want for any extra wallets and adding your own passphrase for separate wallets. Individual wallets unbound from email addresses get some flexibility allowing you to have a segwit or taproot wallet, with a clear enough description as to what you get and what tradeoffs they basically have. Only complaint from me is the lack of a dark mode. Would I recommend this app to people with Bitcoin wallets? Not totally, especially people who value their sovereignty and already feel secure with their wallets and or cold storages. There’s a further sovereignty to consider but by thay point it’s talking about XMR over Bitcoin and that’s not the topic. I WOULD recommend this as a good custodial WALLET for a beginner in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. My only other note would be for Proton to quit falsely conjugating the encryption for the Proton account contents for the wallet with things they literally can’t control from the Bitcoin blockchain in general. It’s a false sense of security on that front that Bitcoin transactions are encrypted by Proton - they are encrypted by Proton for Proton. The transactions are still there on the blockchain but any outsider would have to know your addresses. So the generative addresses are a welcome bonus. Overall, a good app.
  • Thank you Proton Team

    Proton is the best service for encryption and security as it integrates sharing of files(Drive), no log private Internet browsing(VPN), safe from selling personal information(Mail/Pass) and now banking with Proton Wallet. All combined with the Calendar that is secure too. If you haven’t experienced the user friendly apps and services start today.
  • Excelente aplicación!
