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.

  • Love Proton, but this one choice makes zero sense

    I’m a long-time Proton user and a big supporter of their mission. I pay for the full suite, and I trust Proton more than almost any company when it comes to privacy, encryption, and transparency. That’s why I was really excited to see Proton launch their new wallet — until I realized the only supported cryptocurrency is Bitcoin (BTC). That decision feels totally backward for a company built on privacy. Bitcoin is public by design — every transaction is permanently visible on the blockchain. There’s nothing private about that. If Proton truly wants to align the wallet with its brand and values, the first and only coin that should have been supported is Monero (XMR) — the only major cryptocurrency that actually protects user privacy. Anyone can find a decent Bitcoin wallet. But a truly secure, privacy-centric wallet from a company like Proton that supports Monero (XMR) would be revolutionary. I’m still a loyal Proton user, but this feels like a missed opportunity. Supporting Monero (XMR) would make Proton Wallet live up to the same standard of privacy the rest of the ecosystem represents.
  • Great, Please Add Other Coins

    It has functionalities that make this app very user-friendly, I love the fact I can reflect my balance in SATS so I can have a different view on my accumulation. You can create more than one account and you can even send bitcoin through email

    Please remove the ability to buy bitcoin. It erodes trust in the wallet. If the ability to buy bitcoin is kept, please provide all fees (and spreads) for absolute transparency. Please consider different providers. Please add Lightning Network support.
  • Why this app can’t buy and sell cryptocurrency?

    What I don’t like is only BTC. What about XRP and others cryptocurrencies?

    It’s that Proton created this wallet. It does exactly what it’s suppose to do. However, the app needs several improvements. 1) Security: Finger Print & 2FA are the only methods in regards to add more security in order to open the app, etc. I would like to see Passcode & physical security key (Yubikey) support added. 2) Crashes: When attempting to set up or look at the recovery phrase, the app crashes multiple times. I’m using an IPhone 14 Pro, with updated app and software. Still crashes. Same thing happens on the web version. — These suggestions I mentioned seem to me like they should be standard in any self custodial wallet.
  • can hold but cannot purchase bitcoin

    Absolutely impossible to successfully purchase Bitcoin through any of the companies Proton has partnered with, Banxa and the other two whose names I don’t remember. And customer support from those companies is useless. I made a few dozen attempts and the process failed every time. Banxa blames my bank, but the attempted transactions never got far enough for my cc to get an opportunity to block
  • 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…

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