what's AQUA Wallet?
AQUA Wallet is a non-custodial mobile wallet designed for Bitcoin users, integrating support for the Bitcoin mainnet, Liquid Network, and Lightning Network. It enables seamless self-custody of keys, allowing users to hold, send, and receive Bitcoin and stablecoins like USDt without relying on third-party custodians. Key features include low-fee Lightning payments over Liquid, Taproot support for enhanced privacy and efficiency, and instant swaps between Bitcoin and Lightning sats. The wallet emphasizes sovereignty and privacy, addressing common pain points in crypto such as high fees and data leakage in custodial services. It partners with protocols like Boltz for atomic swaps and integrates with tools like BTCPay Server via the SamRock Protocol for merchant invoicing. Users can top up reloadable Visa cards (DolphinCard) with Bitcoin or Liquid assets for real-world spending. AQUA also facilitates stablecoin adoption in high-inflation regions like Argentina, where USDt serves as a hedge against fiat devaluation. By combining Bitcoin's security with Liquid's speed and Lightning's scalability, it provides a unified interface for global, borderless financial transactions.
