About Leather Wallet

Leather Wallet (formerly known as Hiro Wallet) is a self-custodial, open-source cryptocurrency wallet built specifically for the Bitcoin ecosystem and the Stacks Layer 2 network. Available as a browser extension, desktop application, and mobile app, Leather is designed to guide users into the emerging world of "Bitcoin Web3." It goes beyond simple Bitcoin storage, allowing users to seamlessly interact with decentralized finance (DeFi), mint digital artifacts, and manage a wide array of Bitcoin-native assets all in one secure place.

Because Elbaite operates on a secure peer-to-peer, wallet-to-wallet model, you never need to link your Leather Wallet directly to a centralized exchange order book. You simply purchase Bitcoin or Stacks on Elbaite and have it sent straight to your Leather Wallet address, or send funds directly from your wallet to a buyer when you are ready to sell. This guarantees you maintain 100% control of your private keys throughout the entire process.

History and Background

Leather originally launched in December 2018 under the name "Hiro Wallet," designed primarily to support the Stacks blockchain—a Layer 2 network built to bring smart contracts and decentralized applications to Bitcoin. As the Bitcoin ecosystem rapidly evolved to include new asset classes like Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens, the wallet underwent a massive rebrand in August 2023, emerging as "Leather." Now developed by Leather Wallet LLC (a Trust Machines product), its mission is to serve as the ultimate all-in-one hub for the expanding Bitcoin decentralized economy.

What is Leather Wallet Used For?

Leather is the go-to wallet for Bitcoiners who want more yield, more control, and more ways to actively use their BTC.

  • Bitcoin Web3 & DeFi: Leather connects directly to hundreds of decentralized applications, allowing users to swap tokens, access decentralized exchanges, and participate in Bitcoin-backed DeFi natively.
  • Stacking (Earning Yield): Users can easily participate in the Stacks "Stacking" mechanism directly within the wallet, locking up their STX tokens to help secure the network and earning yield paid out in native Bitcoin (BTC).
  • Digital Artifacts Management: It features a robust, highly visual interface for minting, trading, and managing Bitcoin Ordinals, BRC-20 tokens, Runes, Stamps, and Stacks NFTs across top marketplaces.
  • Hardware Wallet Integration: For users who want to safely explore experimental Bitcoin assets without compromising security, Leather pairs seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets to keep private keys safely offline.

Supported Assets and Networks

Unlike broad multi-chain wallets that try to support every single blockchain, Leather is strictly dedicated to Bitcoin and its surrounding layer ecosystems.

  • Supported Networks: Deep native support for the Bitcoin (BTC) mainnet (including SegWit and Taproot addresses) and the Stacks (STX) Layer 2 network.
  • Supported Assets: Fully supports native Bitcoin (BTC), Stacks (STX), SIP-10 tokens, sBTC, and a massive variety of emerging Bitcoin meta-protocols including Ordinals, Runes, and BRC-20 tokens.
