The long-awaited Beam Mobile Wallet for iOS is now available for free on the App Store. We can proudly say that we have finally brought the Beam Wallets to all the major desktop and mobile platforms. Now, Beam financial sovereignty built on Mimblewimble is available literally anytime and anywhere.

The Mainnet iOS Wallet is beautiful, easy-to-use and packed with features.

To note a few:

Complete send and receive Beam functionality

Full support for QR codes (can be scanned from another Mobile wallet or Beam Desktop Wallet)

Payment Proof - a cryptographically secure way to prove that a certain transaction really occurred. More details here.

Optional password protection for every sent transaction for the more cautious.

The source code for this release is available on our Github here.

In order to make sure that our code meets the best security practices, we performed a security audit with Rebz.net.

The work isn’t finished - there are several new features that we are working on and that are already available for testing in the Testnet Wallet:

Biometric identification (Face ID or Touch ID, depending on your device) for secure and no-hassle operation

Security mode - ability to hide your balances and transaction history from the screen. Very useful if you are together with a person and want to send them some Beams, but don’t want them to know how much funds you have.

Export of transaction history to a CSV file

Ability to choose a specific node to work with (in the first release the iOS wallet connects to a random node)

Once we are done testing those, we will roll them out in the next iOS update.

As usual, we welcome community feedback and suggestions. If you haven’t done so already, go to the App Store and install Beam Mobile Wallet for iOS now!
