An end-to-end encrypted self-custodial wallet
Proton Wallet gives you complete control over your Bitcoin without relying on third parties. Unlike centralized exchanges that expose your assets to risks from hacks, poor management, or regulatory actions, Proton Wallet ensures only you can access your wallet.
We prevent unauthorized access, including from Proton, by protecting your private keys and wallet metadata with our battle-tested end-to-end encryption. With Proton Wallet, you’re better protected against losing your Bitcoin due to server compromise, poor management, or regulatory action.
Automatic Bitcoin address rotation
Most other Bitcoin wallets require you to manually rotate your Bitcoin addresses, which means many people often reuse addresses, making it easy for anyone to monitor transactions.
Proton Wallet automatically rotates your address every time you receive BTC from someone using Bitcoin via Email, allowing you to protect your privacy.
Data minimization
We cannot leak or be forced to share information we do not have.
For this reason, Proton Wallet uses a hardened version of the Secure Remote Password protocol so you can securely log in without ever sharing your Proton Account password with our servers.
Similarly, Proton Wallet never stores wallet or account balances.
Swiss privacy
As a company based in Switzerland, Proton Wallet is protected by some of the world’s strongest privacy laws outside US and EU jurisdiction.
We’re prohibited from sharing the little user data we have with any foreign authorities without a court order, and under no circumstances can we decrypt the data stored with zero-access encryption by Proton Wallet.
Verify your Bitcoin is secure
The best security is the kind you can verify yourself. We use open-source code so everyone can make informed decisions about their security.
Open-source code
As an organization founded by scientists, we know that transparency and peer review lead to better results. All Proton apps are open source(new window), meaning anyone can review and verify our security claims themselves.
Commitment to security
Proton Wallet is part of Proton’s public bug bounty program, which incentivizes the entire security community to help us identify and resolve vulnerabilities in our apps.
Proton Wallet provides defense in depth
At Proton, we believe the best defense is a layered defense so there’s never a single point of failure
A secure complement to your hardware wallet
While hardware wallets offer improved offline security, they can be expensive and make completing transactions difficult. Proton Wallet is a secure and user-friendly complement to hardware wallets. You can use Proton Wallet for regular transactions, ensuring your Bitcoin is safe without the added complexity, and use a hardware wallet for long-term storage.
