Proton, the renowned privacy-focused company behind Proton Mail, VPN, and Drive, has introduced its open-source Proton Wallet. Unveiled on Wednesday, this wallet aims to streamline Bitcoin transactions for users worldwide, harnessing Proton’s expertise in privacy and security. 
With the new Proton Wallet, users can effortlessly buy, store, and transfer Bitcoin, integrating features such as email-based Bitcoin transfers. This <a href="https://proton.me/blog/proton-wallet-launch" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">approach</a> simplifies transactions, allowing Bitcoin to be sent via email addresses, even if they are not Proton Mail accounts, which reduces the risk of errors from complex Bitcoin addresses. 
Founded in 2014 by CERN scientists, Proton has built a reputation for prioritizing user privacy, now boasting over 100 million accounts. The Proton Wallet is designed to be user-friendly for newcomers while maintaining the decentralized essence of Bitcoin.&nbsp; 
Proton CEO Andy Yen emphasized, “By enabling us and the entire Proton community to more easily adopt means of payment which are not controlled by centralized institutions, we better insulate Proton from the risks posed by traditional finance.” 
Security remains a core focus. Proton Wallet offers robust recovery methods for private keys, ensuring that only users can access their digital assets. It includes two-factor authentication and Proton Sentinel, a system using AI and human analysis to thwart malicious attempts and secure compromised accounts. 
Initially, Proton Wallet will support only Bitcoin, though the company has hinted at the potential future integration of other currencies. Early access is available to users on the Proton Visionary plan, with a broader release and a paid version, Proton Wallet Plus, expected soon. 
Proton’s deep connection to Bitcoin dates back to its early days when it accepted Bitcoin payments after a crowdfunding freeze by PayPal. The company’s move into the Bitcoin wallet space is a bid to further financial freedom and reduce reliance on centralized financial institutions. 
With Proton Wallet, the company aims to make Bitcoin accessible to all, enhancing mainstream trust and acceptance of cryptocurrency.
