All seed phrase-related operations are now happen on the client’s side
How can this claims be verified, and is there a way to generate mnemonic phrase offline that can later be used with Blender Wallet?
Local storage encryption. To store securely all wallet-related information, local storage will be encrypted and protected with the help of a separate password. It allows getting access to the wallet without using a seed phrase. All you need is a storage and password.
Can you tell us what type of encryption are you using exactly?
Bad encryption can sometimes be just as bad as having no encryption.
Blender Wallet: it’s a non-custodial BTC wallet focused on user privacy. Blender Wallet has been launched in 2020 by the same team that had development blender.io –Bitcoin mixer existing on the market since 2017.
Are there any plans to release Blender wallet app that can be downloaded and run from computer instead of using web browser?
1. The client-side code of Blender Wallet is not obfuscated and can be reviewed by anyone with technical skills. You can check what happens on the client side and what is being sent on server. Speaking of offline generated passphrases, this feature is related to import and we are working on it.
2. Blender wallet uses AES-GCM algorythm for storage encryption with 256-bit AES key.
3. No. Right now we are not working on that task.
