Security

How SatsFort protects your data and maintains trust

Watch-Only

Sats Fort never has access to your private keys. It's impossible for the software to move your Bitcoin.

End-to-End Encryption

All data is encrypted locally using AES-256. Cloud backups are encrypted before leaving your device.

Self-Sovereign

Connect to your own Bitcoin node for complete privacy. No third-party servers required.

Open Source

100% open source with reproducible builds. Verify every line of code yourself.

Architecture Overview

Sats Fort follows a local-first architecture. Your portfolio data, wallet addresses, XPUBs, and transaction history are stored exclusively on your device in an encrypted SQLite database.

When you request blockchain data (balances, transactions), Sats Fort can either query your personal Bitcoin node or fall back to privacy-respecting public APIs over Tor.
