Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when you need a documented wallet codebase or a wallet workflow covering supported Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum assets across desktop and mobile platforms. The repository’s maintenance notice makes the newer BitPay wallet repository the documented continuation point.

Who it is for

  • People managing supported crypto assets across desktop or mobile wallets
  • Developers examining or adapting an open-source wallet codebase
  • Users of shared wallets requiring documented multisignature and payment-proposal functions

Documented uses

  • Create and manage Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum wallets
  • Send and receive supported assets using documented coin-specific address and fee features
  • Coordinate shared-wallet spending proposals and group payments
  • Develop or prepare wallet builds for browser, Android, iOS and Electron desktop environments
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • The codebase is written in TypeScript and targets Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android through desktop and mobile workflows.
  • Bitcore Wallet Service is used for peer synchronization and network interfacing.
  • Private keys are described as being stored locally rather than in the cloud.
  • The repository documents Bitcoin SegWit and native SegWit addresses, CPFP acceleration and adjustable transaction fees.
  • The README warns against using the browser workflow for production handling of private keys.

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