Photon SDK
Seedless Wallet Toolbox
What is Photon SDK?
Photon is a collection of open source components designed to make building bitcoin wallets and non-custodial financial apps easier and more secure. App developers can build compelling seedless user experiences using encrypted cloud backup and multi-sig. The SDK is targeted towards react native apps, but native libraries for iOS and Android are planned as well (see the roadmap below).
Seedless Wallet Restore Flow
What's included?
Photon SDK is fully open source on GitHub. It includes three primary components:
- 1.photon-keyserver: stores high entropy encryption keys and provides server side security such as rate limited PIN authentication
- 2.
- 3.photon-app: a demo React Native application that documents how these components work together in a final product
