Features
Read full description

Anon Wallet is a self-custody crypto wallet with privacy built in. Your keys are generated on your phone and stay there. There is no account to create and no email to hand over. You hold a recovery phrase that only you control, and the app unlocks with Face ID or a PIN. WHAT YOU CAN DO Shield Move tokens from your public balance into a shielded balance. Shielded balances are protected by zero-knowledge proofs generated on your device, so amounts stay off the public ledger. Send privately Send from your shielded balance to another shielded address. Sender, recipient and amount stay private. Send to a name Pay an anon.buzz username, an ENS name, or scan a QR code. Keep the people you pay in a local address book. Unshield Move tokens back to a public address whenever you need to. Your funds are never locked in. Use the chains you already use Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon and BNB Chain from one wallet and one recovery phrase. Stealth accounts Receive at fresh addresses that only you can link back to your wallet. Keep syncing while you are away Anon finishes long syncs in the background and can notify you when funds arrive or become ready to send. Notifications never name amounts unless you turn that on. Pair with the Anon browser extension Already use Anon on desktop? Scan an encrypted QR code to bring the same wallet to your phone. YOU HOLD THE KEYS Anon is non-custodial. We cannot access your funds, freeze your wallet, or move your tokens. That also means your recovery phrase is the only way to restore your wallet. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. If you lose it, no one can recover it for you. Keys are stored in the iOS Keychain behind Face ID or your PIN. Zero-knowledge proofs are generated locally on your device. BUILT ON RAILGUN Shielding uses RAILGUN, an open-source privacy system on Ethereum. Privacy comes from cryptography, not from trusting us. Privacy is a basic human right.
