Stackmate is designed to maximize self-sovereignty and minimize dependency and trust in third parties.
The client comes bundled with Tor, which is a requirement to make network calls from the app.
This protects you from being fingerprinted via IP address by a backend service providers.
All backend services can be substituted with your own services or be entirely opted out of.
We use the following services as default:
Blockstream
This is the core backend service required to sync your wallet public data and also broadcast transactions.
This can be your own server.
Coming soon
BullBitcoin
This is used to view transactions on an explorer to study its path in depth.
This can be your own server.
The app currently uses no telemetry.
Android users must ensure that they disable GBoards analytics or entirely opt-out and try options like OpenBoards.
The moment private data is either copied to a clipboard or typed by GBoard, it will have severely degraded in its integrity.
The app currently requires permission to use your camera ONLY when scanning a Bitcoin address or Public Key.
To use native authentication to access the app.
Imported wallets currently estimate your last used address index based on your transaction history.
You have the ability to manually increment your index if you believe the estimations are not accurate.
