About Phoenix Wallet

Phoenix Wallet: The Bitcoin Wallet From the future

Introduction

Developed by ACINQ, a French startup, Phoenix Wallet is designed to offer a seamless experience with Bitcoin and the lightning network.

Quick and Easy Setup

Phoenix Wallet is a self-contained Lightning node that runs directly on your phone. You don't need to run another Lightning node at home or in the cloud. It's a self-custodial wallet, meaning you hold the keys and have full control over your funds.

Lightning Network Integration

Phoenix is a real, self-contained Lightning node that runs on your phone. It does not require you to run another Lightning node at home or in the cloud. It is not a custodial wallet either, you are in full control of your funds.

Security Features

Phoenix Wallet is self-custodial, meaning you hold the keys. This is a significant advantage in terms of security but also means you need to back up your keys securely.

User Reviews

Based on over 80 reviews on Apollo, users of Phoenix Wallet praise its security features and user-friendly interface but point out that the fees can be higher than custodial alternatives.

Users appreciate the wallet's focus on privacy and self-custody, allowing them to maintain full control over their funds.

FAQs

Can I deposit funds on-chain to Phoenix, and how long does it take before I can use it?

Yes, Phoenix provides a standard bitcoin address. As soon as the transaction to this address is published, Phoenix will notify that you have incoming funds.

Where is my on-chain balance?

There is no on-chain balance. Phoenix is a pure LN wallet, all your funds are always in channels.
You can still send and receive on-chain payments with swaps, they are completely transparent. Just scan a QR code, it will work.

I lost my phone or accidentally uninstalled Phoenix, how can I get my funds back?

Just reinstall Phoenix, choose "Restore my wallet", enter the 12-words seed, and you will be back in business.

Great app, high fees

The UX is fantastic, and the app is pretty much perfect. The only issue is the flat 0.4% fee on every outwards lightning transaction, which is extremely high for lightning.

No problems

This wallet hasn't given me any problems like many others. It lacks functionality when it comes to controlling wallets and satoshi, but it works perfectly.
