Skyfleet, we are thrilled to announce that the first official Android version of our mobile wallet is now fully ready to be released!

(Android v6.0 “Marshmallow” and above)

A functional and secure mobile wallet is essential in the democratization of any peer-to-peer monetary system. This initial version of our mobile wallet includes all the basic and some advanced features as well.

Basic features such as:

  • Creating a new wallet and loading an existing wallet
  • Quick view of your transaction history
  • QR-code scanner and generator
  • New address generator

We also included a more advanced feature where you can select the specific UTXO (unspent outputs) for sending Skycoin. This allows a more flexible customization of Coin Hours usage for your needs.

Pro tip: For best cryptography hygiene practices, only use each address once and never recycle them!

For the more secure-minded Skyfleet members, you may even select your own node to make sure you are not reading from an adversarial or a hijacked node! To make your wallet even more secure, your wallet seeds are hardware encrypted and never leave your device.

We are not stopping there - developments are trucking along regardless of the market noise. Stay tuned for more exciting developments in the near future!
