A lot of you are asking.
How BlueWallet handles wallet entropy 👇
Wallets created in BlueWallet use your device’s cryptographically secure system random number generator. The industry standard approach for generating keys.
Want extra peace of mind? You can also add your own entropy using dice rolls or coin flips (Add wallet → Provide entropy). BlueWallet lets users add entropy via dice or coin flips, and if insufficient manual entropy is provided, it fills the remainder from the system RNG.
We regularly review this code, including with the latest AI-assisted tooling, and continuously test it as part of our development process. We ask you to do the same if you have the knowledge to do so.
Every build also runs runtime self-tests that generate large numbers of seeds and check for unexpected collisions. While no single test can prove an RNG is perfect, these checks are designed to catch obvious regressions before they ever reach users (this is important, your wallet should have this!).
You can even run the self-test yourself:

Security is hard, bitcoin will humble you. Please verify!
There's a proposal sitting in the official Bitcoin repo that would stop 6 to 7 million BTC from ever moving again.
34% of the supply, including roughly a million coins widely attributed to Satoshi.
Here's the situation in plain English.
BIP 361 is called Post Quantum Migration and Legacy Signature Sunset. Quantum computing threatens the cryptographic assumptions underneath ECDSA and Schnorr signatures, the maths that makes your signature yours and nobody else's. On chain analysis cited in the BIP itself puts roughly 34% of all Bitcoin, 6 to 7 million coins, in addresses with exposed public keys. A large amount of that is older P2PK style addresses.
The proposed solution is a phased sunset.
Phase A, about 3 years after activation. New sends to quantum vulnerable addresses stop.
Phase B, roughly 5 years after activation. Legacy ECDSA and Schnorr spends are restricted entirely. Any Bitcoin still sitting in a vulnerable address at that point is effectively frozen.
Phase C, a partial recovery mechanism using zero knowledge proofs, for holders who still have their seed phrases.
The intent is defensive and worth stating fairly. Jameson Lopp, who authored it with a team of researchers, calls the current draft a rough sketch, not something positioned for imminent adoption, and has said he'd rather see dormant vulnerable coins frozen than watch them fall into the hands of quantum attackers.
Notice the irony though. Lopp has been vocal about BIP 110 being reckless for freezing edge case UTXOs. He's the author of a proposal that would freeze millions of coins on a fixed timeline.
Quantum risk is not fake. It's a genuine cryptographic problem Bitcoin will eventually have to address. Bitcoin migrates either way. The argument is over how it happens. Legislated by protocol vote with a hard deadline, or voluntarily through market incentives as quantum capability actually approaches.
When math threatens math, do you trust developers to legislate the transition, or holders to migrate on their own timeline?
It's an early draft. It depends on companion proposals and a new address format still being finalised, so it evolves over months and years. None of this requires panicking. The holders best positioned are already in self custody, already avoiding address reuse, already using modern wallet types and watching which address formats they use.
This is the debate that matters far more than whatever happens with BIP 110.
Critics have been blunt. Confiscation. Authoritarian. A rewrite of not your keys, not your coins into your keys, but we froze your coins anyway.
If a protocol vote can permanently invalidate the signatures protecting a third of the supply, even to protect it from a future threat, is that still the same Bitcoin we bought?
I've decided to step down as CEO of Twenty One.
This wasn't an easy decision, but it was the right one. This experience brought tremendous clarity about who I am and what I want to build.
My life's work remains Bitcoin. My Bitcoin company is @Strike.
The work continues.

What if trust didn’t come from governments, banks, or institutions but from code?
