## What it is
BitPay Wallet (formerly Copay) is an open-source, self-custody cryptocurrency wallet for Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, and ERC20 tokens on desktop and mobile, with multisignature shared-wallet support and BIP32/BIP39 key management. This repository (versions <=12) is no longer actively maintained; development has moved to the bitpay/bitpay-app repository.

## Use cases
- store bitcoin and ethereum in a self-custody wallet
- create a multisignature shared wallet for group spending
- manage multiple crypto wallets in one app
- back up a wallet with a BIP39 mnemonic phrase
- sweep a paper wallet into a software wallet
- use testnet wallets for bitcoin development

## When to choose
- you need a proven open-source multisig wallet for BTC, BCH, or ETH
- you want keys stored locally on-device rather than in the cloud
- you need cross-platform wallet access with synchronized accounts

## When to avoid
- you want an actively maintained wallet - use bitpay/bitpay-app instead
- you need coins beyond BTC, BCH, ETH, and ERC20 tokens
- you require custodial exchange features or fiat on-ramps built in
