🌐 Multi-Network Support

• Bitcoin
• EVM
  • Ethereum
  • Binance Smart Chain
  • Polygon
  • Optimism
  • Arbitrum One
  • Fantom
  • Avalanche C-Chain

Each network supports its native token and popular tokens like USDT. You can easily add more tokens as needed.

💾 Export and Import HODL Files

HODL Wallet now supports exporting and importing encrypted .HODL files, which securely store your wallet information.

• Export HODL File: Save your wallet data (including private keys and addresses) to an encrypted .HODL file.
• Import HODL File: Restore your wallet from a previously exported .HODL file.

These files are encrypted using your wallet password, providing an additional layer of security for storing and transferring your wallet information.

The main advantage of exporting a HODL file is that to access the private key, you need BOTH the file AND the password. This two-factor approach significantly enhances security. However, keep in mind that this solution is only compatible with HODL Wallet.

🔒 Security

🔍 Security Audit

We encourage users to perform their own security audits. One easy way to do this is to copy the entire codebase into ChatGPT or another AI assistant and ask if the code appears secure or if there are any malicious intentions. This is a good practice for any open-source project you're considering using.

🔑 Private Key Storage

Your private key is securely stored in a JSON file, encrypted with a password of your choice. The encryption adds an extra layer of security, making it significantly harder for unauthorized parties to access your private key even if they gain access to the JSON file.

🔬 Transparency

We're as transparent as your ex's excuses. Our code is open-source, and we encourage you to dive in, explore, and contribute. Trust isn't given; it's earned and verified.

📘 What HODL means

The term "HODL" is a cornerstone of crypto culture, and it's worth understanding its origins:

• 🎂 Born on December 18, 2013, in a Bitcoin Talk forum post
• 🍺 Originally a typo for "HOLD" in a drunk, impassioned rant about not selling Bitcoin
• 🔤 Later backronymed to mean "Hold On for Dear Life"
• 💎 Symbolizes a long-term investment strategy and resistance to panic selling
• 🌍 Now used across various cryptocurrency communities as a rallying cry

HODL embodies the belief in the long-term potential of cryptocurrencies, often in the face of short-term market volatility. It's more than just a misspelling; it's a philosophy that has shaped the crypto landscape.
