Synonym's Bitkit, a self-custodial Bitcoin wallet, has officially launched on iOS and Android app stores. This launch transitions Bitkit from beta testing to full public availability, allowing users to manage their Bitcoin transactions independently without the need for third-party intermediaries. CEO John Carvalho emphasized that Bitkit is designed to empower users with self-custody, supporting both onchain $BTC transactions and the Lightning Network. The wallet's development has been influenced by user feedback, focusing on security and usability improvements. Additionally, Bitkit plans a comprehensive rewrite of its codebase post-launch to enhance performance and incorporate further user feedback.
