Your node, your Bitcoin! Fully Noded is a bitcoin wallet that is powered completely by your own node over Tor. This makes using Bitcoin a truly self sovereign, private and secure experience, exactly the way it should be. Fully Noded offers an intuitive yet powerful interface where the home screen displays stats about the Bitcoin network as seen by your node, the active wallet tab offers a powerful but simple wallet experience that allows you to utilize single signature and multi signature wallets. Fully Noded uses psbt’s (partially signed bitcoin transactions) and output descriptors to take advantage of the latest and greatest functionality the Bitcoin Core codebase has to offer. With this architecture Fully Noded always keeps your private keys safely encrypted and securely stored on your device, users always have the ability to delete their seed words from the device and add them later at anytime. Fully Noded never stores your private keys on your node. Generally the way it works is Fully Noded uses a Bitcoin library called LibWally to sign transactions locally and create private keys locally. Your node acts a watch-only wallet and builds psbt’s which Fully Noded signs without letting your private keys get exposed to network requests. Fully Noded is also a powerful recovery tool, you can add any BIP39 recovery phrase and it will recover all of the popular wallets for you. The app offers excellent interoperability with Coldcard, just airdrop wallet export files and psbt’s to Fully Noded and watch the magic happen, using your Coldcard as a watch-only or multisig wallet powered by your own node has never been easier.
