About

WatchOnly

Features
Read full description

WatchOnly is a local-first, read-only Bitcoin dashboard for your existing self-custody setup. Import a public descriptor or xpub to view balances, activity, confirmations and UTXOs across your wallets. Review address reuse, connection exposure and other practical privacy signals, then choose the blockchain source that fits your setup: your own server, a Tor-proxied public source or a direct public source. Your wallet data stays on your device in protected local storage. WatchOnly has no accounts, ads, analytics, cloud sync or WatchOnly-operated backend. It never asks for or stores recovery phrases, private keys, wallet PINs or passphrases. WatchOnly cannot create, sign or broadcast transactions. It complements a signing wallet and a properly maintained recovery backup; it does not replace either one and does not provide financial advice.

About

HEVM Wallet

Read full description

HEVM Wallet makes it simple to send and receive USDC on HyperEVM. See your available balance, review each send, and follow your transfers from one place. SET UP YOUR CASH ACCOUNT Sign in and follow the setup steps to create your Cash account and enable receiving. Incoming USDC sent to your receiving wallet is automatically added to your Cash balance after network confirmation. Cash is the name of your USDC account in the app, not a bank account. RECEIVE USDC Copy your receiving address or share its QR code. The receiving screen shows the supported token and network: USDC on HyperEVM. SEND WITH CONFIDENCE Paste a destination address or scan its QR code. Review the amount, destination, and network fee before approving. The app shows when a send is pending and when it completes. Always check the address and network: completed transfers cannot be reversed. KEEP TRACK OF YOUR ACTIVITY See incoming and outgoing transfers in Activity. Open a receipt to review the details and copy the sender or recipient address. SECURITY AND RECOVERY Your sign-in wallet uses Privy wallet infrastructure. Your Cash balance is held in a smart-contract account on HyperEVM, and your wallet signature authorizes withdrawals. Security & recovery includes key export and account-deletion controls. Exporting a key alone does not move the USDC in your Cash account. HEVM Wallet supports USDC transfers; this version does not offer trading or investment services. USDC is a digital token. HEVM Wallet is not a bank, and your balance is not a bank deposit.
