Software wallets, also known as hot wallets, are applications that enable users to store, manage, and transact with Bitcoin. Unlike hardware wallets, which are physical devices, software wallets are digital and run on various platforms, including desktop, mobile, and web.
This project goal is to have the more complete database of Bitcoin Software Wallets features, so they can be compared, helping users to choose wisely. The database is open-source, meaning anyone can collaborate to improve and correct any wrong data or add new wallets.
Inside the items directory, there is a JSON file for each wallet, with all the data about it. To collaborate (adding missing data, fixing wrong data or adding a new wallet), just fork the repository and send a pull request with the changes.
Before sending the pull request, please run the following commands to format the JSON:
cd scripts/
node json-format.js
The following is a sample of the JSON format:
{
"id": "wallet-id",
"name": "Wallet Name",
"category-name": {
"feature-name-1": {
"value": "YES",
"flag": "positive",
"supported": true,
"texts": [
"Optional contextual text describing the feature"
],
"links": [
{
"title": "Optional contextual link referencing official documentation",
"url": "url"
}
]
},
"feature-name-2": {
"value": "Experimental",
"flag": "neutral",
"supported": true
},
"feature-name-3": {
"value": "NO",
"flag": "negative",
"supported": false
}
}
}JSON fields:
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | true | The wallet id. It matches with the JSON file name. |
| name | string | true | The wallet name. |
| category-name.feature-name-1.value | string | yes | The visible feature value. For example: "YES", "NO", "Experimental", etc |
| category-name.feature-name-1.flag | string | no | The flag of the wallet feature. Possible values: "positive", "neutral" or "negative" |
| category-name.feature-name-1.supported | boolean | no | If the feature is supported by the wallet. This is used to filter by this feature |
| category-name.feature-name-1.texts | array of strings | no | Official Texts with info about the feature |
| category-name.feature-name-1.links | array of objects | no | Official links with info about the feature |
| category-name.feature-name-1.links.title | string | yes | The title of the link |
| category-name.feature-name-1.links.url | string | yes | The url of the link |
On each pull request, the JSON files are verified to be sure they are valid and well-formatted. You can run the following command inside the scripts directory to format the JSON before sending a pull request:
node json-format.js

The thebitcoinhole.com website offers a Software Wallet Comparison using this database. This website is the most comprehensive resource for comparing the features of top software wallets. It provides an in-depth analysis of each wallet’s security features, privacy, usability, compatibility, and more.
Sponsor this project to help us get the funding we need to continue working on it.
