The Xverse Wallet Browser Extension, Explained
Xverse is a self-custody wallet for Bitcoin and the Stacks network, available as a browser extension and as a mobile application. This guide explains what the extension does and walks through adding it to the browser, step by step.
What it is
A wallet that lives in the browser
Xverse adds a toolbar extension that connects to Bitcoin and Stacks applications directly from the browser, without a separate desktop program.
Bitcoin and Stacks assets
Hold, send, and receive Bitcoin alongside Stacks-based tokens from a single browser extension.
Self-custody by design
The wallet is non-custodial: private keys and the seed phrase stay on the device, not on a company server.
Built-in safeguards
Permission prompts, transaction previews, and optional hardware wallet support support safer day-to-day use.
