About
- Muun is a self-custodial mobile wallet app for holding and spending bitcoin over both the Bitcoin network and the Lightning Network from a single balance.
- The wallet uses 2-of-2 multisignature, where the phone holds one key and Muun's server holds the other and co-signs everyday spends.
What it helps with
- Lightning payments require no channel management, as Lightning is hidden behind a single balance.
- Overpayment of on-chain fees is reduced through a mempool-based estimator with selectable fees.
- Loss of funds from phone compromise is mitigated because 2-of-2 multisig means one key alone cannot spend.
- Phone migration is simplified through a paper Cold Recovery Code or email, password, and recovery-code multi-factor reco
- Users can exit without Muun's cooperation using the exported Emergency Kit and open-source Recovery Tool.
Capabilities
A practical view of what is available and where limitations apply.
| Offering | Available | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Lightning payments | Yes | Send and receive instant payments; "fees as low as 1 satoshi" is a first-party marketing claim. |
| Single-balance UX | Yes | One balance for on-chain and Lightning, with the same steps for paying a Bitcoin address or a Lightning invoice. |
| 2-of-2 multisig | Yes | Phone holds one key and Muun's server holds the other; both are needed to spend, so signing involves Muun's server. |
| Emergency Kit | Yes | Exports private keys and output descriptors designed to fit multisig, lightning, and taproot scripts. |
| Recovery options | Yes | Cold Recovery Code written on paper, or Multi-factor Authentication using email, password, and recovery code. |

| Recovery Tool | Yes | Open-source desktop tool to move funds without Muun; latest release v2.2.4 dated Feb 21, 2023 per review. |
