KT Wallet is a self-custody, multi-chain wallet for managing your digital assets. Create or import wallets, view balances and transaction history, and send and receive supported assets. YOUR WALLET, YOUR CONTROL Manage multiple wallets and watch-only accounts. Recovery phrases and private keys are processed on your device, not uploaded by KT Wallet. Protect access with device authentication and keep a verified backup. MULTIPLE NETWORKS Manage supported assets on Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, Avalanche, TRON and Solana. Review the network, recipient, amount and estimated network fee before approving a transfer. Network availability and fee estimates depend on the selected services and blockchain conditions. OPTIONAL OFFLINE SIGNING Use KT Wallet with the separate KT ColdSigner app on a dedicated offline device. Exchange public addresses, transaction requests and signed responses through QR codes. KT Wallet broadcasts the signed transaction from the connected device. ENCRYPTED BACKUPS Export a password-encrypted recovery-phrase QR backup and import it with its password. Keep your backup and password secure: losing them may make recovery impossible. 100% OPEN-SOURCE FRONTEND AND BACKEND The mobile apps and backend source code are available at https://github.com/siliconnexus-jp/KT-Wallet under MPL-2.0. Available in English, Simplified Chinese and Japanese. No custodial account is required. IMPORTANT You are responsible for your recovery phrase, private keys and transaction approvals. Blockchain transactions may be irreversible and network fees apply. Never share a recovery phrase or private key with support or another person. Powered by Silicon Nexus LLC

About

Arc

Features
Read full description

Arc Wallet is a self-custodial USDC wallet built for the Arc network. Your keys never leave your device โ€” they are encrypted behind a passcode you choose, with optional Face ID for quick unlock. Create a new wallet with a recovery phrase or import one you already have, and manage multiple wallets in a single app when you need separate balances for work, savings, or everyday spending. Send and receive USDC on Arc in a few taps. Paste an address, scan a QR code, or pick a saved contact. Review the amount, network fee, and total before you sign, then confirm when you are ready. Fees are paid in USDC from the same balance โ€” no second token to hold for gas. Transfers on Arc settle quickly, and every payment appears in your activity feed with full on-chain details. Track what comes in and what goes out with a clear transaction history. Open any transfer in Arc Explorer to verify status, block, and hash in your browser. Receive USDC with your address or a QR code, and optionally request a specific amount when someone owes you. Arc Wallet is designed to be simple without hiding what matters. You stay in control of your recovery phrase, your passcode, and your funds. Switch between Arc Mainnet and Testnet from settings when you need to explore or test. Built for people who want a focused USDC wallet on Arc โ€” secure, transparent, and ready when you are.
