A simpler, safer way to own digital assets
Birchlock is a non-custodial crypto wallet built for people who want full ownership of their assets without the headache. Send, receive, swap and store thousands of tokens across multiple networks — with a workflow designed to feel as familiar as a banking app.
Make self-custody feel obvious, not intimidating
Most people who try crypto for the first time give up at the wallet step. Seed phrases, gas fees, multi-chain confusion — none of it is necessary friction. Our mission is to compress that gap until holding your own keys is the easiest option, not the most technical one.
Security as default
Private keys never leave your device. Encrypted storage, optional hardware-wallet pairing, and pluggable spend limits ship on day one.
No hidden complexity
If a setting is dangerous, we say so. If a transaction is irreversible, we tell you twice. Plain English over jargon — every screen.
Built with users
Every release goes through a public beta channel before it ships. Your feedback drives the roadmap — not investors, not paid roadmap items.
Started by people who lost coins to bad UX
Birchlock began the way most security products do — out of a real, painful incident. A misclicked send. A misplaced seed. A deposit to the wrong network. The team that founded Birchlock had each lived through one of these, and we agreed nothing about that experience needed to be the user's fault.
A wallet should refuse to send to a contract that can't accept your token. It should warn before a bridge transfer with a chain mismatch. It should never trust an address pasted from a clipboard without showing the first and last six characters in big text. We built Birchlock to do all of those things by default — and to keep adding more guardrails as the space evolves.
Five principles that guide every release
Your keys, your coins — non-negotiable
We never see your private key. We never escrow your funds. There is no admin override, no recovery email loop, no "trust us." If we shut down tomorrow, you'd still have full access via your seed phrase on any compatible wallet.
Defaults that protect
Every default in Birchlock is the safer one. Sending requires a confirm step. Large outgoing transactions require a second factor. New addresses are flagged on first send. You can turn these off — but you have to choose to.
No dark patterns. Ever.
No fake urgency. No hidden fees. No bait-and-switch upgrade screens. We make money from optional premium features and partner integrations — never by tricking you into a transaction you didn't intend.
Audit everything
Twice-yearly external security audits. A live bug bounty program. Open-source signing libraries. We publish redacted audit reports and incident postmortems publicly — including the boring ones.
Speak human
"Insufficient gas" becomes "you don't have enough ETH to pay the network fee." "Allowance approval" becomes "give this app permission to move up to X tokens." Every error message is rewritten until a non-technical user can act on it.
Ship boring
We'd rather be slightly behind on flashy features and rock-solid on the basics: send, receive, swap, store. The boring path is the one that doesn't lose your coins.
A small team that answers its own support tickets
We're deliberately a small, focused team. Engineers handle their own on-call. The CEO answers customer support shifts every month. There is no offshore tier-1 helpdesk reading from a script — when you write in, the person responding has commit access to the codebase.
- Median response time on support tickets: under 9 minutes during business hours
- Every engineer rotates through a customer-support week each quarter
- Every reported security issue gets a written response within 24 hours
- Postmortems for every incident over P3 are published publicly
