DarkWallet is now darkvault
Your Keys.
Your Privacy. Your Sovereignty.
Since 2015
The privacy-first cold wallet for Bitcoin. Offline. Anonymous. Self-custodial. Built for sovereign individuals who refuse to trust third parties with their wealth.
Bitcoin was meant to be private.
We're bringing it back.
DarkWallet restores the foundational promise of Bitcoin: censorship resistance and true financial sovereignty. Through stealth addresses, CoinJoin mixing, and rigorous cold storage principles, your transactions stay yours — invisible to chain analytics, untouchable by intermediaries, and accessible only to you.
Sovereign in three steps.
No accounts to create. No identity to verify. No third party between you and your Bitcoin.
Download & Install
Get DarkWallet for Windows, macOS, or Linux. Verify the PGP signature before installing.
Create or Restore
Generate a new seed offline or restore from BIP-39. Add an optional passphrase for plausible deniability.
Send & Receive Privately
Use stealth addresses to receive. Mix with CoinJoin before spending. Stay invisible — by default.
Engineered for absolute privacy.
Every feature is built around a single principle: you alone should know what you own and how you spend it.
Stealth Addresses
Generate unlinkable receiving addresses for every transaction. Receivers stay invisible to chain analysis.
CoinJoin Mixing
Built-in CoinJoin protocol breaks transaction graphs and obfuscates the flow of your funds.
Cold Storage Mode
Operate fully offline with air-gapped signing. Private keys never touch a connected device.
Open Source
Every line of code is publicly auditable on GitHub. Reproducible builds and signed releases.
No KYC, No Tracking
Zero accounts. Zero telemetry. Zero data collection. We don't know you exist — by design.
Self-Custodial
Your seed, your coins. DarkWallet never holds keys or has any access to your funds.
The same discipline as a hardware wallet — in software you can verify.
DarkWallet treats every operation with cold-storage rigor. Signing happens in an isolated process. Network code is sandboxed. Nothing about you ever leaves your machine without your explicit permission.

Questions, answered.
DarkWallet supports a fully air-gapped workflow: generate and sign on an offline machine, then broadcast from a separate online device. Even on a single machine, signing is isolated and keys are encrypted at rest with strong KDFs.
Never. DarkWallet has no accounts, no KYC, no email, no telemetry. You download, install, and use it. We have no way to identify you and no servers that hold any user data.
Your funds live on the Bitcoin blockchain, not on your device. As long as you have your BIP-39 seed phrase (and optional passphrase), you can restore your wallet on any other machine running DarkWallet.
DarkWallet coordinates trustless CoinJoin rounds with other users to break the linkability of your UTXOs. The coordinator never has custody of your funds and never sees your full picture of inputs and outputs.
Yes. The full source is on GitHub under a permissive license. Releases are reproducible — anyone can build the binary from source and confirm it matches the signed release.
Yes. DarkWallet integrates with major hardware wallets for an extra layer of physical isolation while keeping all of its privacy features intact.
