Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The README says no signup is required.

  • ArcBit is an iOS application focused on Bitcoin, not a general-purpose multi-asset wallet in the documented feature set.
  • The project documents configurable BitPay Insight and blockchain.info API options, plus custom Insight Server use.
  • Offline key access and cold-storage features are described, while actual storage and spending workflows depend on the user’s setup.
  • The README provides a basic Xcode build direction but no detailed build or usage procedure.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
