Is Tor Wallet affiliated with the Tor Project?
No. Tor Wallet is an independent project built on the open Tor network. The Tor Project does not operate, endorse or review this wallet. Tor® is a registered trademark of the Tor Project, Inc.
Does the server ever see my keys?
No. Keys are generated and sealed on the device. The control plane receives a random install ID, app version, device model, OS version and locale. It never receives a recovery phrase, private key, wallet address, balance or transaction.
Can I use Tor Wallet without Tor?
No. Tor is not an optional privacy mode. If the embedded Tor client is not ready, network actions fail closed. There is no clearnet fallback.
Is there a cloud backup?
No. You back up the recovery phrase on paper. The app does not upload an encrypted backup or store one on a server. A lost device without the written phrase cannot be recovered.
Which networks and assets are supported?
BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum, TRON and Avalanche. Native assets and common stablecoins such as USDT are supported. More EVM networks can be added without changing the key model.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no subscription, no token and no in-app purchase. Donations fund infrastructure and development. Donations are optional and non-refundable.
How do I contact support?
Open the app, go to Settings → Support, and start a conversation. It is a private ticket thread handled in the admin panel. We do not provide email support, and support will never ask for a recovery phrase or private key.
How does Tor Wallet make money?
The core wallet is free. Today the project is funded by donations. Planned optional Pro tools and transparent routing fees will fund development later. We do not sell data, run ads, hold funds or issue a token. Read the sustainability model.
How do I verify the APK?
Compare the SHA-256 displayed on the download page with the output of sha256sum TorWallet-0.3.1.apk. If they differ, delete the file and download again from this domain.
What happens if I lose my phone?
Restore from the written recovery phrase on a new install. Without the phrase, the wallet cannot be recovered by the project or anyone else.
Do you run a node or hold funds?
No. Tor Wallet is non-custodial. The project does not hold user funds, run a custody service or have the ability to move assets from your wallet.
How do I report a security issue?
Open an in-app support ticket with a subject beginning with “Security”. Include the app version, Android version, reproduction steps and a test wallet. Never send a real recovery phrase. If you cannot install the app, use the project contact form.
