Key Risks — Please Read First
Blitz Wallet is self-custodial, non-custodial software. Before you use it, understand the following. These points are summarized here and explained in full in the sections below.
- Only you control your funds. Blitz Wallet cannot move, freeze, recover, or access your funds, and cannot restore a lost recovery phrase. If you lose your recovery phrase, your funds are gone permanently.
- Blitz is a "hot wallet." Your recovery phrase is stored on your device. If your device is lost, stolen, or infected with malware, your funds can be taken and Blitz cannot stop it (see Section 8).
- Your seed is briefly transmitted in-memory to a sandboxed component to run the wallet (see Section 12).
- On-chain data is permanent and public and cannot be deleted by anyone.
- The Spark network is in beta; stablecoins may lose their peg; swaps carry slippage and failure risk.
- Store purchases are non-refundable and third-party services are used entirely at your own risk.
- Blitz is not a bank, custodian, or exchange. It is software that lets you use public networks directly.

Important: The App is provided as open-source software under the Apache 2.0 License (available at http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0). Your use of the App as an end user is governed by these Terms. Use, modification, or distribution of the source code is governed by the Apache 2.0 License. Both agreements may apply simultaneously. In any conflict between them as they relate to your end-user use of the App, these Terms control.
4. User Eligibility and Account Requirements
Age Requirement: You must be at least 18 years of age, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction if higher, to use the App. By using the App you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. Use of the App by persons under 18 is strictly prohibited. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has accessed the App, please contact us immediately at support@blitzwalletapp.com.
Legal Capacity: You represent and warrant that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms and that you are not prohibited from using the App under any applicable laws.
Jurisdiction Compliance: You are responsible for determining whether the App is legal in your jurisdiction and for complying with all applicable laws and regulations.
5. Self-Custodial Wallet and User Responsibilities
Blitz Wallet is non-custodial software. Blitz Wallet Inc does not hold, custody, control, or have access to your funds, private keys, or recovery phrase at any time, and cannot move, freeze, seize, or recover your funds.
Creating a wallet does not create an account with Blitz Wallet. Wallets are generated locally on your device from a seed phrase that only you control. No approval, registration, or identity verification by Blitz Wallet is required or possible.
Blitz Wallet does not transmit money or digital assets on your behalf, does not act as an intermediary or counterparty to your transactions, and does not operate the Bitcoin, Lightning, Spark, Liquid, or other public networks. The App is software that enables you to interact directly with these public, permissionless networks and with independent third-party service providers. All transactions are initiated, authorized, and broadcast solely by you.
Blitz Wallet is not a bank, custodian, exchange, or broker and does not provide any of those services.
5.1 Self-Custodial Nature
The App is self-custodial, meaning:
- You retain exclusive control of your Wallet Credentials and Digital Assets
- Blitz Wallet does not have access to your Wallet Credentials
- Blitz Wallet cannot recover lost Wallet Credentials or restore access to your funds
- You are solely responsible for the security and safekeeping of your Wallet Credentials
5.2 Your Responsibilities
- Securely store your Wallet Credentials in a safe location
- Never share your Wallet Credentials with anyone
- Create backups of your recovery phrase and store them securely offline
- Protect your device with strong passwords, biometric authentication, and up-to-date security software
- Verify all transaction details carefully before confirming any transaction
5.3 Consequences of Lost Credentials
CRITICAL WARNING: If you lose, forget, or compromise your Wallet Credentials:
- Your Digital Assets will be permanently and irretrievably lost
- Blitz Wallet cannot and will not be able to recover your funds
- No customer support, legal action, or technical intervention can restore access
By using this App, you acknowledge and accept full responsibility for this risk.
5.4 Recovering Your Funds Without Blitz
Because your funds are controlled solely by your recovery phrase, they do not depend on Blitz Wallet, the Blitz app, or Blitz servers continuing to exist. Your recovery phrase can be imported into other compatible wallets to access and move your funds independently of Blitz Wallet. Blitz Wallet is open-source software (Apache 2.0), so the client can be independently reviewed and built.
5.5 If Blitz Wallet Becomes Unavailable
If Blitz Wallet ever discontinues the App or its services, your funds remain yours and under your control, provided you have securely backed up your recovery phrase. To retain access, back up your recovery phrase and, if needed, restore it in another compatible wallet. For funds held on the Spark network, you may perform a unilateral exit to recover funds without relying on Blitz or Spark operators (see Spark's unilateral exit guide). Blitz servers provide optional conveniences such as profile sync, notifications, and store purchases; they are never required to control or recover your Bitcoin.
6. Supported Digital Assets
6.1 Currently Supported Assets
The App currently supports:
- Bitcoin (BTC)
- Spark tokens
- USDB, USDC, and USDT (USD-backed stablecoins, each issued by an independent third party)
6.2 Unsupported Assets
WARNING: Attempting to send, receive, or store digital assets not explicitly supported by the App may result in permanent and irreversible loss of those assets. Blitz Wallet is not responsible for any losses resulting from use of unsupported assets.
6.3 Changes to Supported Assets
We reserve the right to add or remove support for specific Digital Assets at any time. We will provide reasonable notice of such changes when feasible.
6.4 USDB Stablecoin and Savings Feature
The App may offer a savings feature ("Savings Feature") that enables you to hold USDB, a USD-backed stablecoin issued by Brale, Inc. ("Brale"), and earn yield facilitated by Flashnets Markets, Inc. ("Flashnet") through the Flashnet Protocol on the Spark Network. By using the Savings Feature, you acknowledge and agree that:
- (a) Third-Party Issuance. USDB is issued and managed by Brale, Inc. and is not a product of Blitz Wallet. Your use of USDB is subject to Brale's Terms of Service available at https://brale.xyz/legal/terms, which you must review and accept independently.
- (b) Yield via Flashnet. Any yield or earnings generated through the Savings Feature are facilitated by Flashnets Markets, Inc. ("Flashnet"), a Republic of Panama corporation, through its protocol on the Spark Network. Your use of Flashnet's services is subject to Flashnet's Terms of Service at https://www.flashnet.xyz/terms-of-service, which you must review and accept independently.
- (c) Not a Bank or Financial Institution. Neither Blitz Wallet, Brale, nor Flashnet is a bank, broker, financial advisor, or investment advisor. The Savings Feature does not constitute a deposit account, investment account, or any guaranteed financial product. Yield rates are variable, not guaranteed, and may be zero.
- (d) No FDIC/SIPC Coverage. USDB and any associated yield are not insured by the FDIC, SIPC, or any government agency.
- (e) Stablecoin Risks. USDB is designed to maintain parity with the US Dollar, but you acknowledge that stablecoins may lose their peg, become illiquid, or lose value entirely due to market conditions, regulatory action, issuer insolvency, or other factors beyond Blitz Wallet's control.
- (f) Blitz Wallet's Role. Blitz Wallet acts solely as an interface to access USDB and the Flashnet Protocol. Blitz Wallet does not custody USDB on your behalf, does not control yield rates, and is not a party to any transaction between you and Brale or Flashnet.
- (g) Regulatory Risk. Stablecoins and yield-generating products may be subject to evolving regulations. You are solely responsible for determining whether use of the Savings Feature is lawful in your jurisdiction.
6.5 Bitcoin and Stablecoin Swap Services
The App may enable you to swap between Bitcoin (BTC) and supported stablecoins (USDB, USDC, and USDT), or between supported stablecoins, through the Flashnet Protocol, operated by Flashnets Markets, Inc. ("Flashnet"). By using the swap functionality, you acknowledge and agree that:
- (a) Facilitated by Flashnet. All swaps are executed through the Flashnet Protocol on the Spark Network. Blitz Wallet does not operate or control the swap mechanism and is not a counterparty to any swap transaction. Your use of the swap functionality is subject to Flashnet's Terms of Service at https://www.flashnet.xyz/terms-of-service.
- (b) No Guarantee of Execution. Swaps are not guaranteed to execute at any particular price or within any particular time. Swap rates are determined by market conditions and Flashnet's protocol at the time of execution and may differ materially from quoted or expected rates.
- (c) Slippage and Rate Risk. Quoted swap rates are estimates only. The final executed rate may differ due to price slippage, liquidity conditions, network congestion, or latency between the time you initiate and the time your swap settles. You bear all slippage and rate risk.
- (d) Transaction Finality. Completed swaps are irreversible. Once a swap transaction is submitted to the Spark Network, Blitz Wallet cannot cancel, reverse, or modify it. You are solely responsible for verifying all swap details — including amounts, direction, the specific assets involved, and destination — before confirming.
- (e) Fees. Swaps may be subject to fees charged by Flashnet, the Spark Network, or the Lightning Network. These fees are disclosed at the time of the transaction and are your sole responsibility. Fees are non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the swap.
- (f) Blitz Wallet's Role. Blitz Wallet provides the interface to initiate swaps but does not take custody of funds during the swap process, does not set swap rates, and is not liable for any losses arising from swap execution, failure, or delay.
- (g) Swap Failure Risk. Swaps may fail due to insufficient liquidity, network congestion, protocol errors, or other conditions outside Blitz Wallet's control. In the event of a failed swap, funds should be returned to your wallet, but Blitz Wallet makes no guarantee of fund recovery in the event of a protocol-level failure.
- (h) Tax Responsibility. Swapping between BTC and a stablecoin, or between stablecoins, may constitute a taxable event in your jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for determining and fulfilling any applicable tax obligations arising from swap transactions.

Financial Risks:
- Digital Assets are highly volatile and may lose value rapidly
- Transaction fees may fluctuate significantly
- You may lose some or all of your investment
- Supported stablecoins (USDB, USDC, USDT) and any savings yield are not guaranteed. Each stablecoin has a separate third-party issuer; de-pegging, loss of liquidity, or issuer failure may result in partial or total loss of value.
- Swap transactions between BTC and a stablecoin, or between stablecoins, may execute at rates materially different from quoted prices; slippage, fees, and failed transactions may result in loss of value.
Technical Risks:
- Software bugs, errors, or malfunctions may occur
- Network congestion may delay transactions
- Blockchain forks or protocol changes may affect your assets
Security Risks:
- Your device may be compromised by malware, viruses, or hacking
- Phishing attacks may trick you into revealing Wallet Credentials
- Physical theft of your device may result in loss of funds
User Error Risks:
- Sending funds to an incorrect address results in permanent loss
- Forgetting or losing Wallet Credentials results in permanent loss
- Accidentally deleting the App without proper backups results in permanent loss
8.2 Spark Network Beta Disclaimer
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Spark network is currently in beta testing and should be considered experimental.
By using Spark network features, you acknowledge and accept that:
- The Spark network may contain defects, errors, or security vulnerabilities
- Transactions may fail, be delayed, or produce unexpected results
- You may experience complete loss of any Digital Assets transmitted via Spark
- You should not use the Spark network for critical or high-value transactions
- All use of the Spark network is entirely at your own risk
Blitz Wallet disclaims all liability for losses, damages, or other consequences arising from use of the Spark network during its beta phase or thereafter.
8.3 Transaction Risks with Third-Party Providers.
Transactions routed through or executed by third-party providers may be subject to delays, errors, or failures outside Blitz Wallet’s control. You understand and accept these risks, including potential loss of funds and network-level risks associated with blockchain operations. This includes BTC ↔ stablecoin (USDB, USDC, USDT) swaps facilitated through the Flashnet Protocol, which are subject to Flashnet's terms, smart contract risk, liquidity risk, and Spark Network settlement conditions beyond Blitz Wallet's control.
8.4 No Investment Advice
Blitz Wallet does not provide investment, financial, tax, or legal advice. Nothing in the App or these Terms should be construed as a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any Digital Assets. You should consult with qualified professionals before making financial decisions.
8.5 Disclaimer of Warranties
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Blitz Wallet disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to:
- Merchantability – fitness for a particular purpose
- Non-infringement – that the App doesn't violate third-party rights
- Security – that the App is free from vulnerabilities
- Accuracy – that all information displayed is correct
- Reliability – that the App will function without interruption or error
- Performance – that the App will meet your expectations
We do not warrant that:
- The App will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free
- Any defects will be corrected
- The App is free from viruses or harmful components
- Results obtained from the App will be accurate or reliable
8.6 Hot Wallet and Device-Compromise Risk
Blitz Wallet is a "hot wallet": your recovery phrase (seed) is stored on your mobile device using the device's secure storage (iOS Keychain / Android Keystore via expo-secure-store).
App-level authentication (PIN or biometric) is optional, and once the App is open it does not require additional authentication to send funds or to display your recovery phrase. As a result, any person or software with access to your unlocked device may be able to view your recovery phrase and irreversibly transfer your funds, including through:
- Theft, loss, or unauthorized physical access to your device
- Malware, spyware, or remote compromise of your device
- Inspection of device memory (the seed is held in the App's memory while running)
- A device backup that contains your seed (see below)
Device backups: On Android, the seed is stored on-device only and is never included in any backup. On iOS, current versions of the App exclude the seed from iCloud backups; however, if your device backups were configured before this change, an existing iCloud backup may still contain your seed. If you may be affected, consider moving your funds to a newly generated wallet.
Blitz Wallet cannot detect, prevent, reverse, or recover from any such compromise. We strongly recommend enabling PIN or biometric protection, keeping your device secure and updated, and using a dedicated cold-storage or hardware wallet for large or long-term holdings.
9. Third-Party Services and Integrations
