helixwallet is a standalone HELIX client. There is no server to get hacked or go down, so you can always access your money. Using SPV mode, helixwallet connects directly to the bitcoin network with the fast performance you need on a mobile device.
HELIX wallet is designed to protect you from malware, browser security holes, even physical theft. With AES hardware encryption, app sandboxing, keychain and code signatures.
Simplicity is HELIX wallet core design principle. A simple backup phrase is
all you need to restore your wallet on another device if yours is ever lost or
broken. Because HELIX wallet is
deterministic,
your balance and transaction history can be recovered from just your backup
phrase.
- "Simplified payment verification" for fast mobile performance
- No server to get hacked or go down
- Single backup phrase that works forever
- Private keys never leave your device
- Import password protected paper wallets
- "Payment protocol" payee identity certification
HELIX wallet supports the x-callback-url specification with the following URLs:
helix://x-callback-url/address?x-success=myscheme://myaction
this will callback with the current wallet receive address: myscheme://myaction?address=1XXXX
the following will ask the user to authorize copying a list of their wallet addresses to the clipbaord before calling back:
bread://x-callback-url/addresslist?x-success=myscheme://myaction
installation on jailbroken devices is strongly discouraged
Any jailbreak app can grant itself access to every other app's keychain data
and rob you by self-signing as described here
and including <key>application-identifier</key><string>*</string> in its
.entitlements file.
