Disclaimer: Leather is a self-custodial wallet and interface to connect with a directory of service providers and apps. Users are responsible for managing their own assets and should always review third-party protocols and apps before interacting.

Leather is a Bitcoin wallet built to unlock new ways to earn, use, and secure your Bitcoin-based assets.

It’s self-custodial—meaning only you control your keys and funds—and open-source, so you can verify how everything works under the hood. With support for the Stacks Layer 2 and emerging Bitcoin protocols, Leather helps you interact with new app ecosystems while staying anchored to Bitcoin.

Leather supports:

  • BTC and sBTC

  • STX and SIP-10 tokens

  • Ordinals and inscriptions

  • BRC-20, Runes

  • Stamps

  • Liquid Stacking tokens like stSTX and LiSTX

You can send, receive, store, swap, delegate, stack and sign transactions across the Stacks and Bitcoin networks.

Leather is designed for users who want to earn yield on Bitcoin, use apps secured by Bitcoin, and own their financial future—without centralized custody.
