Sparrow Wallet

Sparrow Wallet is a desktop Bitcoin wallet designed for users who prioritize financial self-sovereignty, security, and privacy. It supports both single-signature and multisignature wallets across common Bitcoin script types. The wallet integrates with most hardware wallets via USB or airgapped modes and adheres to standards such as Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions (PSBT). It offers a range of connection options including public servers, Bitcoin Core nodes, and private Electrum servers, enabling users to tailor their privacy and security setup.

A standout feature of Sparrow Wallet is its fully featured transaction editor, which doubles as a blockchain explorer. This allows users to inspect and modify all transaction fields and review raw transaction bytes before broadcasting, providing transparency and control uncommon in many Bitcoin wallets. Sparrow also supports advanced coin and fee control with comprehensive coin selection, labeling of transactions and outputs, and sending/receiving to PayNyms (BIP47) for enhanced privacy. It includes built-in support for Tor and Bitcoin test networks such as testnet, regtest, and signet.

Sparrow Wallet is suitable for both advanced users and those new to Bitcoin who want to deepen their understanding and control over their funds. The wallet encourages a privacy journey from using public servers to running private nodes and cold storage setups. It is cross-platform and lightweight, with open-source code available on GitHub. Getting started involves downloading the desktop application, optionally connecting to a Bitcoin Core node or Electrum server, and creating wallets with or without hardware wallets. Comprehensive documentation and community support via Telegram help users configure and optimize their setup.
