Yours to take anywhere
Type the phrase into any wallet that speaks the standard and you'll find the same account. Nothing about it is ours, which means nothing about it can be held hostage.
Wallet
Keys that are actually yours.
Twenty-four words, written on paper, that will open your wallet in any other wallet on earth. We don't hold them, we can't recover them, and we can't freeze anything. That's the point, and it's also the risk, so the app says it out loud the first time you see those words.
On both apps, and further along on iPhone. The wallet makes and keeps your keys on both. On iPhone it also shows a balance and can send; on Android it shows a balance and a history, and sending is not built there yet. It is on Android from 0.11, and on iPhone in the TestFlight beta.
Reading a balance asks somebody. A balance and a history are not on your phone, they are on a public ledger, so the app asks a node for them and that node sees your address and your network address together. Nothing about it goes through this relay, and nothing about it is encrypted the way your messages are. The wallet is the one part of this app that talks to somebody else's server.
Your recovery phrase
The standard one, on purpose.
Plenty of apps invent their own backup so that leaving is difficult. Ours is the ordinary twenty-four-word phrase every other wallet understands, checked against the published test values on both platforms, so it restores somewhere else, exactly as written, the day you want it to.
Bring one you already have
Already got a wallet somewhere else? Type its phrase in. If a word is mistyped we tell you which, rather than accepting it and leaving you staring at an empty account wondering what happened.
Honestly: don't lose it
Nobody can reset this for you. Not us, not support, not a court order. That's what self-custody means, and we'd rather you hear it from us on a quiet afternoon than work it out the hard way.
Addresses
A new one every time.
Public ledgers are public. Reuse one address and anyone curious can line up everything you've ever been paid and call it a history. So the wallet gives you a fresh address whenever you ask for one, on the receive screen itself rather than buried in settings. Asking is still a tap you have to make, and the app does not yet count what arrives and move you on by itself.
The older ones keep working. They all come from the same phrase, so a new address costs you nothing extra to write down, which is the only reason it's practical to do this properly.
And the part worth being precise about: your addresses have nothing to do with your Flamenet account. They're built from their own random secret, not from your username or your passphrase, so no one can work out your addresses from knowing who you are, or work out who you are from an address. We wrote a test that fails if anybody ever wires the two together.
