# 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.
