Privacy and security company Proton announced on Wednesday the launch of the open-source Proton Wallet, designed to simplify the user's Bitcoin experience.
Founded in Switzerland in 2014 by scientists from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Proton offers services such as Proton Mail, Proton VPN and Proton Drive, focusing on providing encrypted communication and storage solutions that prioritize privacy.
Its new wallet solution is designed to allow users to buy, store and transfer Bitcoin, including features such as sending Bitcoin via email, and leveraging its existing infrastructure for enhanced security.
