FAQ
Straight answers about the wallet model
Focused answers on custody, recovery, and desktop wallet controls.
Read the wallet guideIs ArcBit a custodial wallet?
No. The historical ArcBit design centered on user-controlled Bitcoin keys rather than a service holding spend authority on the user's behalf.
Is ArcBit an exchange or trading platform?
No. ArcBit is framed strictly as a Bitcoin wallet. The interface is about accounts, receiving, sending, history, recovery, and wallet actions, not order books, swaps, yield, or token trading.
Why is this restoration desktop-focused?
The desktop presentation gives advanced wallet controls enough space to remain visible and understandable: account selection, balances, send and receive tools, history, and advanced actions all live in one focused workspace.
Where are private keys intended to live?
The historical wallet model emphasized client-side key control. This restoration keeps that principle visible in the interface and security language rather than presenting ArcBit as an account hosted by a third party.
What does HD recovery mean here?
HD wallet design uses a recovery secret as the root from which wallet keys can be derived. The goal is to make backup and restoration understandable without treating individual addresses as separate backups.
What is a watch-only wallet?
Watch-only functionality lets a wallet track addresses or account information without holding the private keys required to spend. It can be useful for monitoring balances while keeping spend authority elsewhere.
Can ArcBit support cold storage workflows?
The historical feature set included concepts such as imported keys and offline spending workflows. The restoration describes these as advanced custody patterns; exact behavior depends on the confirmed desktop implementation.
Why show both BTC and local-currency values?
The local-currency figure is a display aid beside the Bitcoin amount. It does not turn the wallet into an exchange and does not imply an in-app conversion or trading function.
What are advanced actions?
They represent wallet-level utilities beyond everyday send and receive flows, for example key import, watch-only tools, recovery-related actions, and configuration controls where supported.
