The iOS version of the NIX SPV Wallet

The easy and secure NIX wallet

NixWallet is the best way to get started with Nix. Our simple, streamlined design is easy for beginners, yet powerful enough for experienced users.

Completely decentralized

Unlike other iOS Nix wallets, NixWallet is a standalone Nix client. It connects directly to the Nix network using SPV mode, and doesn't rely on servers that can be hacked or disabled. Even if NixWallet is removed from the App Store, the app will continue to function, allowing users to access their money at any time.

Cutting-edge security

NixWallet utilizes AES hardware encryption, app sandboxing, and the latest iOS security features to protect users from malware, browser security holes, and even physical theft. Private keys are stored only in the secure enclave of the user's phone, inaccessible to anyone other than the user.

Desgined with new users in mind

Simplicity and ease-of-use is NixWallet's core design principle. A simple recovery phrase (which we call a paper key) is all that is needed to restore the user's wallet if they ever lose or replace their device. NixWallet is deterministic, which means the user's balance and transaction history can be recovered just from the paper key.

Features

• Simplified payment verification for fast mobile performance
• No server to get hacked or go down
• Single paper key is all that's needed to backup your wallet
• Private keys never leave your device

WARNING:

Installation on jailbroken devices is strongly discouraged.

Any jailbreak app can grant itself access to every other app's keychain data. This means it can access your wallet and steal your Nix by self-signing as described here and including <key>application-identifier</key><string>*</string> in its .entitlements file.
