What can I do with it?

You can connect your wallet with all sorts of apps and games, which allows you to pay, earn, collect and trade digital assets on compatible apps, games and websites.


How do I get started?

Simply download the application for Android or iOS and sign up with your email. Unlike most crypto apps, you won't have to store complicated passwords to access your money. You can also use HandCash via the web application.


Advantages

Email Based Login

No need to write down 12 words or install a browser extension. Users can connect their gaming wallets through any browser.


Enhanced Security

We utilize a threshold signatures scheme to secure user transactions. In this system, the private key is distributed across multiple legal entities, each holding a portion of it. These parties collaboratively sign transactions on the user’s behalf, triggered by signed requests using private keys registered individually to each party.

Transaction fees are on the house! We take it upon ourselves to pay for transaction fees as a token of our gratitude.

Account

Why am I asked to verify my email?

Your HandCash Account is a combination of two different secret keys held by two independent companies for your convenience. This way you don't have to store them yourself while still retaining exclusive access to your funds. As long as you have access to your email address, you will always be able to access your HandCash account and funds.

What does 'Connecting to Apps' mean?

Just as how you can connect to different apps, games and websites with your Google, Facebook, Discord, Apple, etc. account, you can likewise log into compatible apps, games and websites using your HandCash account.

Security

Should I hold my life savings in HandCash?

Your money is not covered by insurance. Therefore, we cannot recommend storing more than what you would normally carry in a physical traditional wallet.


Where are my 12 words?

HandCash is Keyless and does not require users to store a traditional Bitcoin 12-word seed phrase thanks to its proprietary system based on Threshold Signatures. This allows us to offer a non-custodial service while making it easier for every user to access their funds without having to safeguard a password.

Crypto

Why is my balance changing all the time?

The value of BSV is constantly fluctuating against other tokens via a complex web of market dynamics. For that reason, your balance updates based upon the current selling price of one BSV token.


Is crypto anonymous?

Although it is very private, nothing you do on the blockchain is anonymous. Pseudo-anonymity is not the same as anonymity.
