WalletScrutiny

Help scrutinize Bitcoin Wallets

WalletScrutiny.com is a community project that holds accountable for the security of their product those who provide Bitcoin Wallets.

The core question is: "Can the wallet provider steal all the funds of all the users without anything stopping this?"

* Custodial apps clearly can do that as without the provider's servers running, the user only has legal options to get back to his Bitcoins.

* Closed source wallets can secretly collect all the users' backups and empty the wallets at any time.

* Public source wallets can secretly deploy wallets that do not match what the public source code claims they are providing.

* Only if the wallet can be reproducibly built from the public source code is there a possibility for security researchers to make meaningful audits of the app.

This app detects when any supposedly reproducible wallet is updated and in case it is not known to our servers yet, it gets uploaded for review.
