## What it is
BlueWallet is an open-source, self-custody Bitcoin and Lightning Network wallet for iOS and Android, built with React Native and TypeScript. It supports on-chain SegWit wallets, multisig vaults, watch-only wallets, hardware wallet signing via PSBT, and self-hostable Lightning accounts through its companion LNDHub service.

## Use cases
- store and send bitcoin from a self-custody mobile wallet
- create a multisig vault for cold storage of large bitcoin amounts
- connect a Coldcard or other hardware wallet for offline signing
- set up a Lightning wallet connected to my own LNDHub node
- watch a cold storage address without exposing private keys
- import a seed phrase from Electrum or another wallet
- batch bitcoin transactions to save on fees
- hide a wallet balance with plausible deniability under duress

## When to choose
- you want a mobile, self-custody Bitcoin wallet with Lightning support
- you need multisig vaults or hardware wallet integration on iOS/Android
- you value open source, privacy features like coin control and payjoin, and connecting to your own node

## When to avoid
- you need a custodial exchange-style wallet with fiat on/off ramps built in
- you primarily hold cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin
- you need a desktop-first or web wallet experience
