Wallet

Your keys, your coins

Malairte Bitcoin is fully self-custodial. Your 64-character hex private key is the wallet — no account to register, no email to verify. Anyone with the key controls the funds. Back it up in a password manager and on paper, store it somewhere safe, and never paste it into a website.

What every Malairte wallet does

  • Generate or import a private key (64-char hex)
  • Show your balance and full transaction history
  • Send MLRT to any address with QR scanning
  • Receive MLRT with copy-paste or QR address
  • Live network status — block height, peers, node connection
  • Built-in link to the block explorer for any transaction

What no Malairte wallet does

  • Custody your funds — your key never leaves the device
  • Require an account — no signup, no email, no KYC
  • Track you — no analytics, telemetry, or third-party SDKs
  • Promote tokens or DeFi — Malairte is a single-asset wallet
  • Have a recovery service — lose the key and you lose the funds

Setup

How to set up

Mobile (Android)

  1. 1 Download MalairteWallet.apk from /downloads or install from Play Store (when listed).
  2. 2 Open the app. Tap Create new wallet.
  3. 3 The app generates a 64-character hex private key. Write it down on paper and save it to a password manager.
  4. 4 Confirm the backup by re-typing the last 8 characters.
  5. 5 The wallet is ready. Send your address (the long string starting with "M") to receive funds; tap Send to send.

Mobile (iOS via TestFlight)

  1. 1 Email apps@malairtebitcoin.com with your Apple ID — we add you to TestFlight beta.
  2. 2 Install TestFlight from App Store on your iPhone.
  3. 3 Open the invite email on your phone, tap Install.
  4. 4 Same setup flow as Android.

Security

Best practices

  • Back up your key on paper, in two physical locations — A safe at home + a safe deposit box is fine. Two papers in the same drawer is not.
  • Use a password manager as the digital backup — Bitwarden, 1Password, KeePassXC are all fine.
  • Never share your key with anyone, ever — The Malairte project will never ask for it.
  • Never paste your key into a website — that isn't the official wallet app.
  • Verify download signatures — Every binary on /downloads ships with SHA-3-256 checksums and GPG signatures. Verify before running.
  • For large balances — split into multiple addresses or use a multisig setup once available.

FAQ

Wallet FAQ

No. Malairte uses a single 64-character hex private key. It is slightly longer than a 12-word seed phrase but functionally equivalent: it is the wallet. Back it up.
Yes. The same key gives you the same address and balance everywhere. This is useful if you want a phone wallet for spending and a desktop full node for verification — both can hold the same key.
You lose the funds. There is no recovery service, no support backdoor, no Malairte employee who can help. Back up the key.
Your address and its balance are public on the block explorer, same as Bitcoin. Your identity is not visible unless you tie your address to it elsewhere.
Not directly yet. You can use an air-gapped offline machine running malairte-cli to sign transactions, then transfer the signed transaction to an online machine to broadcast. Hardware-wallet UX is on the roadmap.
Yes. Source is on GitHub. Builds are reproducible (instructions in the repo README).
Not yet. App Store listing is pending review; the wallet has been signed and uploaded. Estimated public availability: 1-2 weeks after Apple completes review.
