Is Sei Wallet non-custodial?

Yes. Your seed phrase is generated on your device, encrypted on your device, and never transmitted anywhere — not to us, not to a remote server, not to any third party. We have no ability to move, freeze, or recover your funds. If you lose your seed phrase we cannot help you recover it; that's the trade-off self-custody makes.

Has Sei Wallet been audited?

An independent audit is in progress. The wallet is shipping at the May 2026 launch alongside the Compass and Leap shutdowns because users need a destination wallet now; the audit completes shortly after. The full report will be published at /security/audit when it lands. The wallet is open source in the meantime — anyone can read the code today.

Are Sei Wallet downloads signed?

Yes. Windows builds are code-signed by a DigiCert certificate issued to Sei Wallet Labs Inc. macOS builds are signed with our Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple. Linux builds are PGP-signed with our published key — the SHA256SUMS.asc file lets you verify any download in 30 seconds. Verification instructions live on the /download page.

What does Sei Wallet collect about me?

Nothing tied to your identity. The wallet does not transmit your seed, your private keys, your address, your balance, your transaction history, or any analytics that identifies you personally. Optional crash reports (anonymised) help us fix bugs and can be disabled in settings. No telemetry, no wallet-address fingerprinting, no third-party trackers.

How do I report a security vulnerability?

Email security@seiwallet.net, ideally PGP-encrypted to our published key. We run a public bug bounty paying up to $25,000 for critical findings. We commit to acknowledging reports within 72 hours and to coordinated disclosure — we credit researchers publicly with their consent.

Why is Sei Wallet shipping before the audit completes?

Two reasons. First, Compass and Leap shut down on May 28, 2026 — Sei users need a destination wallet now, not after our audit timeline finishes. Second, the wallet is open source: the audit isn't the only line of defense. Anyone can read the code today on GitHub. We chose transparency over the marketing-friendly option of delaying launch and claiming a perfect security story.

Should I wait for the audit before using Sei Wallet?

If you're risk-averse and the funds are large, yes — that's a reasonable choice. In the meantime, hardware-backed setups (Sei Wallet + Ledger) are not materially affected by software-only audit findings, because the seed never leaves the hardware device regardless of wallet bugs. For routine balances, the open-source code review and signed-build distribution are meaningful protections.

Will critical findings be published?

Yes — every finding will be published with severity, our remediation, and the commit hash that addressed it. Critical findings included. The point of an audit isn't a clean PR result; it's an honest record of what was found and what was fixed. Hiding findings would defeat the purpose.

When does the audit complete?

Estimated completion is on the status table above. Audit timelines slip — we'll update the ETA as it firms up rather than promise a date we might miss. When the report lands we publish the full PDF (signed by the auditor's PGP key), the findings table, our remediation notes, and the commit hashes per finding.

The auditor name appears on the status table once the engagement scope is finalized and the firm consents to public disclosure. We won't name a firm provisionally and risk having to retract later — that erodes the trust the audit is meant to build.
