what's Leather?
Leather is a self-custodial, open-source wallet designed for the Bitcoin ecosystem, enabling users to manage and grow their Bitcoin assets securely. It supports a wide range of Bitcoin layers and protocols, including BTC, Stacks (STX), Ordinals, BRC-20 tokens, Runes, and SIP-10 tokens, allowing seamless interactions with DeFi applications, NFTs, marketplaces, and dApps without relinquishing control of private keys. Built by Trust Machines, Leather emphasizes security and accessibility across devices via browser extensions, mobile apps, and desktop versions. It facilitates yield-earning opportunities on Bitcoin layers, such as staking on Stacks or participating in inscription-based transactions, while maintaining Bitcoin's core settlement security. The wallet's architecture integrates with the Stacks network for faster transactions and smart contract functionality, bridging Bitcoin's liquidity to layer-2 innovations.
