Why the extension

A full Bitcoin wallet, one click from any tab

No app switching. Check balances, approve transactions and connect to Web3 sites without leaving your browser.

Built for Bitcoin

Hold BTC and manage Ordinals, Runes and BRC-20 tokens in one place, with separate addresses for payments and collectibles.

You hold the keys

Xverse is non-custodial. Your recovery phrase is created on your device, and nobody can freeze or move your funds for you.

Connect to dapps fast

Choose Xverse on a supported site, review the request in the popup and approve it. No copy-pasting addresses.

Stacks and STX included

Use the same wallet for the Stacks ecosystem, from holding STX to signing in to Bitcoin-secured apps.

Send, receive, swap

The everyday actions sit on the home screen of the popup, so a transfer takes a few clicks.

Same wallet on mobile

Restore your recovery phrase in the Xverse mobile app to see the same accounts on your phone.

How to use it

From install to first transaction in four steps

Follow along in your browser. The whole setup takes a few minutes, and the most important part is saving your recovery phrase.

Install the extension

Open the Chrome Web Store (or your browser's extension store), search for Xverse Wallet, and click Add to browser. Only install the listing published by Xverse.

Click the puzzle icon in your toolbar and pin Xverse. Open it, choose Create a new wallet, and set a strong password for this device.

Write the secret words down on paper and confirm them when asked. Never screenshot them, store them online, or share them with anyone, including support.

Receive, send, and connect

Use Receive to copy your address and fund the wallet. To use a site, click Connect wallet on it, pick Xverse, and approve the request in the popup.

Questions before you install

Which browsers does the Xverse extension support?

Open your browser's extension store, search for Xverse Wallet, and install the listing published by Xverse. It works on Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome, Brave and Edge. Always start from the official Xverse site if you are unsure.

What is a recovery phrase and why does it matter?

Your recovery phrase is the only way to restore your wallet if you lose access to your device. Anyone who has it can control your funds, so write it on paper, keep it offline, and never share it. Xverse will never ask you for it.

How do I add funds to my wallet?

Use the Receive button inside the extension to copy your Bitcoin address, then send funds to it from an exchange or another wallet. Always send a small test amount first.

How do I connect Xverse to a website?

On the site, click Connect wallet and choose Xverse. A popup opens in your browser asking you to review and approve the connection. You can disconnect later from the extension settings.

Can I use the same wallet on my phone?

Yes. Install the Xverse mobile app, choose to restore an existing wallet, and enter your recovery phrase. Only do this on official apps downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.
