Open-source Bitcoin wallet appropriate for beginners who want to gradually reach advanced self-custody. It features a progressive framework that strikes a balance between; security, fees, and UX. Your progression as a user takes four difficulty levels, reflecting your understanding of Bitcoin and the amount of balance you want to secure.
