# Mutiny Wallet | ||
|
||
Mutiny Wallet is a lightning wallet that runs in the web. Mutiny is unlike other lightning apps on Start9, it is not a | ||
server that you run on your Embassy. Instead, it is a web app that you can access from any device on your local network. | ||
This means that you can access your wallet from your phone, tablet, or laptop. | ||
Mutiny Wallet is a lightning wallet that runs in your web browser. Mutiny is unlike other lightning apps on Start9, it | ||
is not a server that you run on your StartOS Server. Instead, your StartOS server hosts the web app that you can access | ||
from any device on your local network or via TOR. This means that you can access your wallet from your phone, tablet, or | ||
laptop. The first time you set up a wallet, it will have a lightning channel to Mutiny's LSP to get your started. This | ||
is not your StartOS lightning node. | ||
|
||
This comes pre-packaged with VSS and the websocket proxy, so everything you need to run a lightning wallet is included. | ||
Because you host the web app, the app will not be updated by someone else's server without you knowing it. Changes to | ||
the wallet are only made when you update the StartOS service. This also means that if the Mutiny Wallet team release a | ||
new version, you will not see any of those features until the new Mutiny Wallet version has been packaged into the | ||
StartOS .s9pk format and updated on your StartOS server. | ||
|
||
The only external dependency is esplora, which is used to get blockchain data. This can be configured in the settings | ||
page if you have your own esplora instance running. | ||
This comes pre-packaged with encrypted cloud storage and all the other backend services that Mutiny Wallet needs to | ||
run, so you don't need to worry about any changes from the Mutiny Wallet team breaking your wallet. | ||
|
||
The only external dependency is a block explorer, which is used to get blockchain data. By default, Mutiny uses | ||
[mempool.space](https://mempool.space), but you can change this in the settings of your wallet if you wish to use to | ||
your own. | ||
|
||
## Instructions | ||
|
||
1. Click launch UI to access your personal Mutiny Wallet website. You now have a lightning wallet! | ||
2. If your browser asks for persistent storage, click yes. This will make the wallet more performant. | ||
3. (Optional) Install as a PWA on your phone or tablet for easy access. | ||
4. Backup your seed phrase. This is the only way to recover your funds if you lose access to your wallet. | ||
