Design principles
- Local storage
- Private keys are intended to remain on the user's device. The website hosts neither private keys nor recovery phrases.
- Recovery phrase
- A sequence of words generated by the wallet restores access to it. Keep it offline and never share it.
- Local signing
- Transactions are signed by the wallet on the device. The official website is not intended to sign transactions remotely.
- Binary verification
- Every published release must include a verifiable checksum and signature.
The recovery phrase
The recovery phrase is the wallet's master key. Anyone who has it can restore the wallet and spend its funds. Keep it as confidential as private keys.
- Write the phrase by hand on a durable medium and keep it offline.
- Do not photograph it or store it in cloud services, messaging apps, or note managers.
- Never enter it on any website, including this one.
- Keep at least one copy in a separate, secure physical location.
- Test recovery on a secure device before placing significant funds in the wallet.
Installation and first use
The final procedure will accompany each validated release and cover installation, wallet creation, phrase backup, recovery verification, and receiving a first transaction.
Planned platforms
- Linux
- Release under validation. Package formats and requirements will be announced when it is published.
- Windows
- Release under validation. The installer and verification procedures will be published after validation.
- Android
- Release under validation. Official distribution and mobile security rules will be specified before publication.
If compromise is suspected
- Disconnect the device from the network if you suspect malware.
- Do not use the affected wallet for further operations.
- Create a new wallet on a clean device with a new recovery phrase.
- If circumstances allow, transfer the funds to the new address as soon as possible.
- Never share a compromised phrase with anyone claiming they can “recover” the funds.
BI3LYX does not offer or endorse recovery-phrase recovery services. Wallet security depends first and foremost on keeping this phrase confidential.
