Buy, send, and secure your bitcoin with no sign-up required. The Blockstream app is a self-custodial wallet that works across all three layers of Bitcoin: On-chain, Lightning, and Liquid.
Create your wallet, unlock with PIN or Face ID, and start in seconds.
100% open-source, built by Blockstream, the global leader in Bitcoin infrastructure.
KEY FEATURES
Transact Between Layers: Hold on-chain bitcoin, make instant Lightning payments, and use Liquid for fast, confidential transactions. Swap between networks directly inside the app.
Buy Bitcoin: Purchase bitcoin in 200+ currencies using Apple Pay, card, or bank transfer. Funds arrive in your self-custodial wallet.
No Sign-Up Required: Create a wallet with Face ID alone. No email, phone number, or personal information collected.
Security That Grows with You: Start with a PIN. Store your recovery phrase when you're ready. Upgrade to a hardware wallet as your holdings grow. Each layer adds protection without switching apps.
Hardware Wallet Ready: Pair with Blockstream Jade for cold storage that works seamlessly with Lightning and Liquid. Jade signs transactions while staying offline. Also supports Ledger, Trezor, Coldcard, and more through direct pairing or watch-only import.
Lightning Without the Complexity: Lightning payments work through trustless atomic swaps. No channels to manage, no inbound liquidity to worry about, no node to run. Just scan and pay.
Privacy First: No KYC. No mandatory personal data. Connect through Tor with a single tap. Route through your own Bitcoin node. Address rotation by default.
Flexible & Functional: Liquid asset support. Replace-by-fee for stuck transactions. Custom fee settings. PSBT export for watch-only workflows. Testnet support for developers.
Open Source: Every line of code is publicly auditable under GPL-3.0. Built on GDK, Blockstream's cross-platform wallet library.
Potential to be a top hot & cold wallet for LN, LQ & BTC

I appreciate that Green has a non-custodial wallet for both Liquid and BTC, and even an experimental Lightning wallet. The top, unique features:- You can create multiple wallets (unlike Breez, Aqua and Muun). - You can restore a wallet from another wallet app (unlike Breez, Aqua and Muun) - even Aqua Liquid transactions tied to a BTC wallet show up in sync on Green. - You can use your Green wallet app on multiple devices simultaneously (unlike Breez and Muun). - Green offers both BTC and Liquid for cold storage on their Jade device (and can be set as Watch Only wallets on Green). - the LN wallet uses true Lightning (unlike the higher fees/swaps of Aqua and Muun), but it is still very glitchy in it’s Beta stageI’m excited about the integration of both Liquid and Lightning technology. If Green were to combine the features of Aqua for swapping it would be a five-star wallet. In my current testing and comparison Breeze is better functioning for Lightning send/receive. Aqua is necessary for Liquid swaps (tip: restore your Aqua wallet in Green to basically integrate their tech here). But if you want to move Lightning back on chain to BTC than Muun is the cheapest and most efficient (tip: Exchange via LN send to Muun to swap/send BTC to Green Jade cold wallet).
iPhone 16E

Apparently this wasn’t beta tested with iPhone 15 and 16.l with Jade. I can get it to work on iPhone 15 but it not easy to get it to connect. Surely doesn’t insist confidence as being reliable and secure. With I Phone 16 you have to create a new wallet to get it to connect each time. Completely uses. If you are using an IPhone 16 don’t add any BTC. Most likely it will be stuck or lost. I don’t know what the old app performed like but it had to be better. I don’t care about purchasing through the app as long as I can make a transfer. Plus if you sell it doesn’t have a way to transfer the funds. So again pointless.
Personal Node
Ckaribe
I really wanted to like Blockstream Wallet, especially because it advertises the ability to connect to your own Bitcoin node. Unfortunately, the personal-node experience has been frustrating and unreliable.On my Windows desktop, I was able to connect to my Start9 Bitcoin node and successfully send a couple of transactions using Tor and my onion address. However, after logging out, I was unable to reconnect and kept receiving a “connection failed” message.The iPhone experience has been even worse. When connected to my personal node, outgoing transactions fail with a “General SOCKS server failure.” If I disable my personal node and use Blockstream’s servers instead, the transaction goes through immediately.I use the same personal Bitcoin node with other wallets without these problems, so the issue appears specific to Blockstream Wallet.For a Bitcoin wallet that promotes self-custody and the ability to use your own node, reliable personal-node connectivity should be a core feature, not something that works inconsistently depending on the device.The wallet itself has potential, but until personal-node support works reliably on both Windows and iPhone, I can’t recommend it for users who prioritize privacy, sovereignty, and running their own Bitcoin infrastructure.
Great Foundation, Needs Polish
Wartortle35
The Green Wallet has the potential to be the best way to handle and store Bitcoin, but it still needs polish. Connection to Jade is still a little awkward and the UI transitions need to be cleaned up. I turned on experimental features, and it cleaned out the app. I ended up needing to use my recovery phrases to get my Green wallet and Jade wallet back connected. Not a huge inconvenience, but toggling one feature shouldn’t reset the app. With that said, the layout, simplicity, flexibility, and UI have tons of potential. Even with its shortcomings (that can be fixed), it is my favorite wallet to use.
- Manual coin selection
- Bitcoin price charts and Home transaction actions
- Improved multisig account creation, Jade support, login reliability, and stability
