Proton Technologies AG, the Swiss company renowned for its encrypted email and VPN services, has introduced an open-source Bitcoin wallet. This innovative service enables users to send and receive Bitcoin using their ProtonMail address.
“Proton Wallet is a self-custodial wallet, meaning we employ end-to-end encryption to ensure only you have access to your wallet’s encryption keys. The Bitcoin-by-email feature of Proton Wallet simplifies transactions, as you only need to verify an email, reducing the risk of errors. Each address is PGP-signed, guaranteeing transaction security.
Unlike other wallets, we’re always here for you. You can contact a real person 24/7/365 and receive personalized support for all your needs, whether simple or complex.”
Disclaimer: Despite the high level of security, it is advised not to store large amounts of Bitcoin in an online wallet. Instead, use a hardware wallet.
