# Blitz Wallet

> Blitz Wallet is a self-custodial global payments app that makes sending money to anyone anywhere feel as simple as sending a message, with free payments between contacts, instant settlement across borders, and full user control of funds through Bitcoin, Lightning and stablecoins.

Blitz Wallet is positioned first as the simplest Bitcoin wallet for everyday payments, and Bitcoin together with Lightning and stablecoins is the technology that makes that simplicity possible. People use Blitz to pay contacts by name, to send money across borders in seconds, to share gifts through a link, to collect group payments in pools, to accept sales in person as merchants, and to hold value in Bitcoin or dollars, all while their money remains in their own wallet under a single 12 word backup.

There are four products that work together as one payments suite, which are the mobile app for iOS and Android, the web wallet that runs in any browser without an install, the point of sale for businesses that accept Bitcoin and stablecoins, and the open source recovery platform that restores access independently of Blitz infrastructure. The project is open source, the experience is designed to feel familiar to anyone who has used Venmo or Cash App, and the difference is that Blitz works globally on open money rails instead of being limited to domestic bank networks.
