Know your wallet like you made it! Our goal is to improve the security of Bitcoin wallets by examining products for transparency and potential attacks.
Our stated mission is to look into Bitcoin Wallets and with bearer tokens like the [Opendime](https://walletscrutiny.com/bearer/opendime/) we already ventured into products that clearly are not wallets but they are meant to keep your private keys safe, so users want to know: Do they really keep you safe from loss? Now we came across products that are marketed as "crypto vaults" but they are more akin to [password managers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_manager) like LastPass - a general store of important data. By being marketed to keep your important data safe, they clear are being used for Bitcoin, too. The crypto-themed one we are looking at right now has 100k installs on Google Play. Should we look into those or is that mission creep?
image From the start we wanted to look into desktop wallets but it's really hard. For example for Electrum there is 23 different ways of getting the binary and those are probably +20 different binaries. * We do not have the resources to check them all with every release. * We have no idea how to communicate our findings to the user.
