The application is already available for devices on Android and iOS , soon the company promises to add support for other platforms. The code for both applications is publicly available and is available on GitHub.
The report also says that the wallet, which was originally acquired in July 2017, was rewritten from scratch, and the new added features make Bitcoin storage more secure.
Among the main functions of Blockstream Green, you can select two-factor authentication with support for multi-signature, as well as support for Tor-connections and hiding IP-addresses for additional privacy. For offline storage, the wallet can be connected to hardware devices, including Trezor, and the option of connecting to its own Bitcoin node is also available.
Currently Blockstream Green only supports Bitcoin, but in the future it is also planned to implement support for assets in the sidechain Liquid .
“Blockstream Green will be a window to the Bitcoin infrastructure, which Blockstream has been creating all these years, and integration with the Liquid Network is a key part of our plans, ” said Samsstream Mou, Blockstream’s strategic development director.
In addition to English, Blockstream is available in Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Russian, and Ukrainian. The company plans to localize the product into other languages.
