Bitcoin Keeper’s guiding philosophy is to provide users with flexibility, security, and control over their bitcoin. We believe in empowering them with the freedom to manage their funds as they see fit, without locking them into our ecosystem.

Interoperability and User Choice

Bitcoin Keeper leverages industry standards like BIP 39 and BIP 85 to ensure seamless integration and interoperability with other wallets. This commitment to open standards allows users to easily migrate or access funds across different platforms, enhancing control and flexibility. By adopting these widely accepted protocols, we aim to provide a user-friendly experience that accommodates diverse preferences and needs.

Security and Privacy

Security is at the core of our philosophy. Bitcoin Keeper offers robust features like multikey setups, hardware wallet support, and privacy enhancements through Tor and personal bitcoin nodes. We recognize that security needs vary among users, thus we provide multiple layers of protection and customization options to suit different security profiles.

Transparency and Openness

Bitcoin Keeper is developed as an open-source project, reflecting our commitment to transparency and the bitcoin ethos. We believe that transparency fosters trust, and by making our code publicly available both for iOS and Android, we invite scrutiny and contributions from the community to continually enhance the product.

Non-Lock-In Approach

We consciously avoid creating a walled garden. Users have complete freedom to choose how they want to use Keeper, whether for day-to-day transactions or long-term storage, and can easily transition to other compatible services if they wish. This approach aligns with the broader ethos of decentralization in the bitcoin ecosystem, where us plebs believe in users having complete control over their bitcoin and how they interact with it.

Keeper is thus designed to offer a secure, flexible, and user-centric experience. We’ve prioritized interoperability, security, transparency, and user freedom, ensuring that our users have ample choice in managing their bitcoin over a long period of time, ultimately helping to bequeath them to their heir.
