Frequently Asked Questions

Is Blue Wallet completely free to use?

Yes, Blue Wallet is completely free and open-source software. There are no hidden fees or subscription costs. The only costs you'll encounter are standard Bitcoin network fees for on-chain transactions and routing fees for Lightning Network payments, which go to Bitcoin miners and Lightning node operators, not to Blue Wallet developers.

How secure is Blue Wallet for storing large amounts of Bitcoin?

Blue Wallet employs multiple security layers: For hot wallets, it uses industry-standard encryption and secure enclave storage on your device. For large amounts, we strongly recommend using our multisignature feature or connecting a hardware wallet. The multisig feature allows you to require multiple signatures for transactions, and when combined with hardware wallets, provides enterprise-level security suitable for storing significant Bitcoin amounts.

Can I use Blue Wallet without an internet connection?

While Blue Wallet requires an internet connection for most operations, you can perform certain tasks offline: You can generate receiving addresses, create unsigned transactions, and verify addresses offline. For signing transactions offline, you can use the PSBT (Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction) feature, which allows you to create transactions on an online device and sign them on an offline device for maximum security.

Does Blue Wallet support other cryptocurrencies besides Bitcoin?

Blue Wallet is specifically designed for Bitcoin and does not support other cryptocurrencies. This focused approach allows us to provide the best possible Bitcoin experience with specialized features like Lightning Network integration, PSBT support, and Bitcoin-specific security measures. We believe in doing one thing exceptionally well rather than supporting multiple cryptocurrencies with compromised features.

How does the Lightning Network integration work in Blue Wallet?

Blue Wallet's Lightning integration uses a custodial model for simplicity, where the Lightning channels are managed by Blue Wallet's servers. This means you don't need to worry about channel management, liquidity, or technical complexities. For advanced users who prefer non-custodial Lightning, you can connect to your own LND node. The custodial approach makes Lightning accessible to everyone while maintaining security through multisig and proper encryption.

What happens if I lose my phone or recovery phrase?

If you lose your phone but have your recovery phrase, you can restore your wallet on a new device. However, if you lose both your phone and recovery phrase, your funds cannot be recovered due to the non-custodial nature of the wallet. For Lightning funds in custodial wallets, you can restore access if you remember your Blue Wallet login credentials. We strongly recommend storing your recovery phrase in multiple secure locations and testing the restoration process with a small amount first.
