BlueWallet
Mobile Bitcoin wallet for iOS and Android. Supports both on-chain and Lightning. Originally included a custodial Lightning option; shifting toward non-custodial with Lightning Dev Kit (LDK) integration.
Current State
- Removing custodial Lightning wallet functionality (users must migrate to self-custodial LDK or external wallets)
- Forked as the basis for BoltCard Wallet (added NFC/BoltCard support)
- Open source with active development
RoboSats Compatibility
- Good UX for Lightning transactions
- Not recommended for RoboSats due to accounting bugs reported by the community
- May misreport balances or payment states when handling HODL invoices
NFC/BoltCard Use
- BoltCard Wallet is a fork of BlueWallet with added NFC card linking capability
- Original BlueWallet does not support BoltCard natively
