Mycelium is a non-custodial crypto wallet that moves USDT even when you hold no TRX for gas. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron and every ERC-20 / TRC-20 token in one app. From the team behind the Mycelium Bitcoin Wallet — over a million installs, and in continuous development since 2013. Your private keys are generated on your device, encrypted there, and never sent to us. We never hold your funds. USDT THAT SENDS WHEN YOU HAVE NO GAS • TRON Energy Service rents the energy a USDT transfer needs, so an empty TRX balance stops blocking your payment • Out of ETH? Pay Ethereum network fees with the token you are sending • Speed up or cancel a stuck Ethereum transaction in one tap • Send USDT, USDC, USD1 and any other ERC-20 or TRC-20 token — or add one by its contract address YOUR KEYS, YOUR COINS • Non-custodial by design — keys are created and stored on your device only • PIN with a randomized keypad, plus Face ID or Touch ID unlock • No account, no email and no phone number needed • Standard recovery phrase — restore your funds in any compatible wallet, anytime • Shamir backup: split the recovery phrase into shares — for example, any 2 of 3 restore the wallet, while a single share reveals nothing • Import an Ethereum or Tron private key, or export any key behind a PIN check • A backup reminder appears the moment the wallet holds funds and the recovery phrase is still not written down BUILT TO SPOT THE SCAMS THAT EMPTY WALLETS • Address-poisoning detection on Ethereum and Tron • TRON permission-hijack detection, with a guided way to revoke a key that is not yours • Watch-only accounts labelled everywhere, so a wallet someone else set up can never pass as yours • Spam token filtering in TRON history • Security audit log of key exports, server changes and PIN events, kept on your device A WALLET, NOT A FEED No ads, no promoted tokens, no social timeline. Swaps and card purchases come from third-party partners and stay out of your way until you need them. EVERYTHING YOU NEED DAY TO DAY • Notifications about incoming payments, even while the app is in the background • Price alerts: set a target price or get notified about big moves • bitcoin:, ethereum: and tron: payment links open Send already filled in • Payment requests with QR codes, account labels and transaction notes • Complete history with CSV export for accounting • Swap BTC, ETH, USDT and more, or buy crypto by bank card, through partners matched to your country • Invite friends and earn up to 20% of our spread on their swaps • Guided tours, built-in support chat, dark and light themes BITCOIN TOOLS MOST WALLETS SKIP • Full UTXO list and coin control • Send to several recipients, or from several accounts, in one Bitcoin transaction • Replace-by-Fee and CPFP to unstick a slow payment, plus RBF detection on incoming ones • Four address types and alternative derivation paths for restored wallets • Connect the wallet to your own Bitcoin node • Import an HD account from xpub, ypub or zpub (watch-only) or from its private key; export the public key to track the balance elsewhere • Cold storage: spend from a paper wallet, private key or recovery phrase without importing it • PSBT signing between devices through animated QR codes • Sign and verify messages with a Bitcoin, Ethereum or Tron address to prove ownership • Flexible fees on Bitcoin; automatic or custom gas limit, gas price and nonce on Ethereum A WALLET THAT GROWS WITH YOU Three experience levels. Start with a clean send-and-receive wallet, then unlock coin control, custom fees, node settings and key export the moment you need them. Available in 25 languages, on iPhone and iPad. Network fees are set by the blockchain, not by us.
