Muun Wallet

Self-custodial Bitcoin and Lightning mobile wallet

We reviewed Muun Wallet using 1 official and public sources. The notes below focus on custody, recovery, and security trade-offs.

Muun’s 2-of-2 model is a meaningful recovery and phone-compromise distinction, but it is not a conventional seed wallet and therefore needs unusually clear backup education.

Backup and keys

This is not a mnemonic wallet; recovery and Lightning operational state must be explained using Muun’s Emergency Kit model.

Security and privacy

Mobile 2-of-2 self-custody reduces the impact of a phone-only compromise but creates recovery and service-availability dependencies; users must protect the Emergency Kit and recovery credentials.
