## What is Proton Wallet?

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.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-09*

Great bitcoin wallet with option to email bitcoin.

### 5/5 — Multisig function

*2026-08-06*

Would be great if y’all were able to add multisig function

### 5/5 — Works good

*2026-06-26*

Always found Proton Wallet to be a random app they released to their suite of products. Overall it works great…just wish that they had an option to make it more of a digital wallet outside of just bitcoin. Having features that allowed for daily card transactions, and other crypto would be really handy. Overall, the app has been a great resource for bitcoin at the very least.

### 5/5 — Simple, does what I need it to do!

*2026-06-18*

Simple, clean wallet without trying to sell me things!

### 1/5 — Lost everything-scam

*2026-05-17*

App froze and would not allow me to save my assets, essentially proton robbed me of millions of dollars worth of Pepe

**Developer response:** This doesn't sound right. Have you lost access to your Wallet app? Please keep in mind that Proton Wallet is a self-custody service, and in case you do have recovery methods enabled, we can try to help you regain access to the account. Contact us via the contact form on our website so we can better help.

### 5/5 — Utility

*2026-05-11*

Well the wallet serves its purpose quite well to just store and keep bitcoin safe. It would be awesome if it would calculate ur average cost and gains for you. The transferring fees that you pay whenever transferring crypto from wallet to wallet is not horrible and it’s worth it if you’re paranoid about asset security. In my opinion it would be cool if they added more mechanics like being able to buy crypto (LINK, BTC, ADA) through the app but for the sole purpose of keeping ur bitcoin safe I’d give it a 9/10. I combined it with a password manager and used all the extra safety precautions but I feel like it could still be more secure. I’m a fully integrated proton user. I use all their products and like every other project done by them, it’s amazing :). Hope to see a bank/card wallet or something like it soon!

### 4/5 — OK but limited in scope

*2026-04-26*

Part of the Proton ecosystem. A decent wallet, but a bit limited…only offers BTC.

**Developer response:** We chose Bitcoin to be the foundation for Proton Wallet because it is the most widely adopted and decentralized digital money. While we'll make sure to document your altcoin request accordingly, Proton Wallet is a Bitcoin-only wallet at this time. If you've found it useful as such, we'd appreciate it if you adjusted your rating to reflect this.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-04-02*

Wish they could do like Apple wallet does but still decent

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. Keep in mind that this, unfortunately, is not doable in the near term due to the need to convince and integrate with thousands of banks around the world. We started with Bitcoin because it's a permissionless network that anyone can join and use. We'll greatly appreciate it if you can change your rating to reflect your satisfaction with the rest of the features our service offers.

### 5/5 — Another great Proton product

*2026-04-01*

Not much to say besides good job guys, another easy to use, secure product

### 5/5 — Small dark app icon

*2026-03-15*

Put the app in a folder, then there’s a dark app icon missing…
