Blockstream Bitcoin Wallet

Blockstream Inc

About this app

Proposed App Store Description
Buy, send, and secure your bitcoin with no sign-up required. The Blockstream app is a self-custodial wallet that works across all three layers of Bitcoin: On-chain, Lightning, and Liquid.

Create your wallet, unlock with PIN or Face ID, and start in seconds.

100% open-source, built by Blockstream, the global leader in Bitcoin infrastructure.

KEY FEATURES

Transact Between Layers: Hold on-chain bitcoin, make instant Lightning payments, and use Liquid for fast, confidential transactions. Swap between networks directly inside the app.


Buy Bitcoin: Purchase bitcoin in 200+ currencies using Apple Pay, card, or bank transfer. Funds arrive in your self-custodial wallet.

No Sign-Up Required: Create a wallet with Face ID alone. No email, phone number, or personal information collected.

Security That Grows with You: Start with a PIN. Store your recovery phrase when you're ready. Upgrade to a hardware wallet as your holdings grow. Each layer adds protection without switching apps.

Hardware Wallet Ready: Pair with Blockstream Jade for cold storage that works seamlessly with Lightning and Liquid. Jade signs transactions while staying offline. Also supports Ledger, Trezor, Coldcard, and more through direct pairing or watch-only import.

Lightning Without the Complexity: Lightning payments work through trustless atomic swaps. No channels to manage, no inbound liquidity to worry about, no node to run. Just scan and pay.

Privacy First: No KYC. No mandatory personal data. Connect through Tor with a single tap. Route through your own Bitcoin node. Address rotation by default.

Flexible & Functional: Liquid asset support. Replace-by-fee for stuck transactions. Custom fee settings. PSBT export for watch-only workflows. Testnet support for developers.

Open Source: Every line of code is publicly auditable under GPL-3.0. Built on GDK, Blockstream's cross-platform wallet library.

Available in 30+ languages. Built for iOS, Android, and desktop.

Ratings and reviews

Great when it works. However, be careful and always keep your keys. The jade has to be reset constantly and the app (both desktop and phone) don't always communicate. Especially when you have to update the firmware. The Bluetooth and the USB won't work and you'll have to reset everything, reinstall & use your keys. You need to be experienced, more than average, to use the jade and Green safely. I don't think it's safe to keep your BTC long term in cold storage with the jade and the apps.

It doesn't work please fix my life savings is stored on your 27 word seed key phrase and your app is broken and when I get to enter the final word it doesn't allow me to type more than one letter. Please help.

I went from a very happy user to extremely displeased. Since the last update, my transactions where I send amounts do not appear in my "Latest transactions" list. Using the link to find the transaction on Blockstream info website results in an error. The wallet used to list all of your transactions while it was being confirmed. Now, you have no idea if you made one. This has happened twice now. And I'm going to look for a different wallet before a third time happens.
