Dana Wallet

Dana Wallet is a mobile Bitcoin wallet designed around silent payments and BIP353-style identifiers like yourname@danawallet.app. Instead of handing out reusable receive addresses, it gives users a more familiar payment flow while still deriving fresh on-chain outputs for each payment. The wallet discovers incoming payments through local scanning over a BIP158-like structure, which helps keep address ownership private from outside servers.

The project combines the wallet itself with the surrounding pieces needed to make that flow usable in practice: Dana address registration, app distribution through GitHub releases, Zapstore, and a self-hosted F-Droid repository, plus backend work around the Blindbit oracle infrastructure. The current public releases are still marked experimental, but the project has already shipped multiple production-oriented improvements across the wallet, its transaction storage, and its scanning stack.

Why fund it?

Dana Wallet is working on a hard part of Bitcoin UX. Silent payments offer stronger on-chain privacy, but they only matter to regular users if the wallet experience is simple, understandable, and reliable on a phone. Dana focuses on that last mile: clean receiving flows, human-readable identifiers, local scanning, and the engineering work needed to turn a promising protocol into something people can actually use.

OpenSats included Dana Wallet in the fifteenth wave of Bitcoin grants. That support is helping move the wallet toward broader public use.

What's next?

Recent grant reports show steady progress toward a more usable, stable wallet: claimable Dana addresses, a contact list, local transaction storage in SQLite, offline wallet creation, multiple app flavors on the project's F-Droid repo, and releases through v0.7.3. The next steps include faster launch times, background syncing, a Blindbit V2 backend, an official F-Droid release, iOS investigation, and a more complete project website.
