Blockstream Green 2.0.31

Description

Blockstream Green is a Bitcoin and Liquid network asset wallet, focused on security, simplicity, and versatility. It is an open-source solution that caters to both beginners and advanced users. It allows for easy sending, receiving, and storing of Bitcoin, Liquid Bitcoin (L-BTC), Tether USDt, and other assets from the Liquid network.

Key Features

• Robust security: Offers singlesig and multisig wallet options with two-factor authentication (2FA) via email, SMS, phone call, or Google Authenticator. The 2-of-2 multisig uses one key on the user's device and another on Blockstream's servers, ensuring extra protection. Timelocks and backup keys ensure total control over funds.
• Ease of use: Simple setup, no documents or KYC needed, just a recovery phrase (seed). The intuitive interface simplifies transactions, with smart fee estimates to confirm payments in the desired time (fast, medium, or slow).
• Compatibility: Supports hardware wallets like Blockstream Jade, Ledger, and Trezor, ideal for cold storage. Integrates Bitcoin, Liquid, and in beta, Lightning networks for fast transactions.
• Privacy: One-click Tor support, Bech32 (SegWit) addresses, and new address generation with each transaction (HD). No personal information required, just an optional email for recovery.
• Flexibility: Allows creation of multiple wallets, use of the same wallet on multiple devices, and restoration of wallets from other applications. Offers fee control and support for Replace-by-Fee (RBF) transactions.

Additional Highlights

• Watch-only wallets for secure monitoring.
• Testnet support for experimentation.
• Direct integration for purchasing Bitcoin in over 200 currencies (via the app).
• Open-source, auditable, and based on standards such as BIP39, BIP44, BIP49, and BIP84 for singlesig wallets.

Points to Consider

The interface, while functional, may appear somewhat outdated. The connection with devices like Jade can have minor issues, and experimental features such as Lightning support are still in beta and may have instability.
