Crypto-wallet implementations

We implement a crypto-wallet: wallet creation/import, key storage, sending and receiving funds, connection to blockchain networks and dApps. Honestly and bluntly upfront, this is key: a wallet is about critical security and irreversible responsibility for keys, NOT about 'convenient and carefree'. Whoever controls the private key/seed phrase controls the funds; losing the key = irreversible loss of funds that no one can recover. Transactions are irreversible: a mistaken or fraudulent transfer cannot be returned. We make the implementation as secure as possible, but no honest party gives an absolute guarantee in crypto, and phishing and deceiving the user themselves are beyond our control. We honestly design security and state the responsibility.

Crypto-wallet implementations — overview

Crypto-wallet implementations — price, timeline & scope

A crypto-wallet is an application/component for managing crypto assets: generating or importing a wallet (private key, seed phrase), secure key storage, viewing balance, sending and receiving funds, signing transactions, connecting to blockchain networks and interacting with dApps/contracts. It can be non-custodial (keys with the user) or custodial (the service stores keys) — these are different responsibility models. Honestly about 'keys = funds', this is key: in crypto whoever controls the private key or seed phrase controls the funds. This gives freedom but also full responsibility: there is no 'bank' to restore access. Losing the seed phrase or key means irreversible loss of funds — we cannot return them, and no one can. This is a fundamental property, not a flaw. Honestly about irreversibility: blockchain transactions are irreversible. Send to the wrong place or fall for a fraudster — the money cannot be returned. We add confirmations and protection against errors, but the network's irreversibility itself is irremovable. Honestly about 'no absolute guarantee': we design security by best practices (key protection, safe signing, protection against typical attacks), and for non-custodial we do code-review (1075). But an absolute security guarantee does not exist in crypto, and anyone promising it is lying. Honestly about phishing and the human factor: a huge share of crypto losses is not a wallet hack but deceiving the user themselves (phishing, fake sites, extracting the seed phrase). This is beyond our technical control; we can warn and build in protection, but we cannot force a user not to hand their key to a fraudster. Honestly about the responsibility model: a custodial wallet (you store users' keys) is a huge responsibility and serious regulatory risk (essentially holding others' funds); non-custodial shifts responsibility to the user. The model choice must be made consciously — we honestly explain the consequences of each. Honestly about regulation: the status of crypto in Russia is uncertain — legal and tax aspects are on your side. Honestly about the effect: we give a securely designed, technically correct wallet, but not an absolute guarantee and not protection against deceiving the user themselves. Honestly about access: an understanding of the responsibility model and risks is needed. An important boundary: this is a wallet; contract audit — 1075; Web3 login — 1078; multi-sig — 1087; on/off-ramp — 1088. The base price starts from 120,000 ₽ (depends on features and the model).

Problems we solve

  • A wallet for managing crypto assets in the product is needed.
  • Implementing key storage and signing safely yourselves is very risky.
  • The responsibility is underestimated: losing the key = irreversible loss of funds.
  • The model (custodial/non-custodial) and its consequences are not chosen.

FAQ

  • If the user loses the key/seed — will you restore access?

    No, honestly, and it is fundamental: in crypto whoever controls the private key/seed phrase controls the funds. There is no 'bank' to restore access. Losing the seed phrase = irreversible loss of funds; neither we nor anyone can return them. This is a property of the technology, not a flaw. We do secure storage and warn the user, but recovering a lost key is impossible. We are honest about this from the start.

  • Will the wallet be 100% secure?

    There is no absolute guarantee, honestly: we design security by best practices (key protection, safe signing, protection against typical attacks) and do code-review (1075), but 100% security does not exist in crypto — anyone promising it is lying. Plus transactions are irreversible. We reduce risk as much as possible technically, honestly stating the limit, rather than pass the wallet off as 'absolutely secure'.

  • What to choose — store keys yourself (custodial) or with the user?

    It depends, and the consequences are serious, honestly: custodial (you store users' keys) is a huge responsibility and serious regulatory risk, essentially holding others' funds. Non-custodial shifts responsibility for keys to the user (and the risk of losing them too). Plus a huge share of losses is phishing and deceiving the user themselves, beyond our control. We honestly explain the consequences of each model so the choice is conscious.
