About the project

What Crest is

Crest is a Bitcoin wallet and privacy application. It keeps your private keys on your own device instead of storing them with a company. Crest states that it does not hold your funds, access your seed phrase, or ask you to register an account.

The wallet uses a zero-knowledge privacy pool built on Citrea, a Bitcoin rollup. This technology hides your Bitcoin balances, addresses, transaction amounts, and the links between payments. Private Bitcoin swaps are planned or in beta.

How the waitlist works

Crest announced that it is becoming Citrea's flagship product. The project has opened a waitlist for early access to the application. You join by adding your email address on the website.

There is no cost and it takes about one minute. Once admitted, you can use the app for private Bitcoin transactions.

Who it suits

The waitlist suits anyone curious about the project. Using the wallet itself requires comfort with holding your own private keys and transacting on Bitcoin.

Risks and what to watch for

  • The application is new and still in development: features, privacy guarantees, and performance may change.
  • As with any Bitcoin wallet, you alone are responsible for your private keys. If you lose access to them, your funds are gone.
  • Zero-knowledge protocols can have implementation flaws: audit the project's technical reports before sending large amounts.
  • Waitlist access is not guaranteed, and no timeline for wider availability has been announced.
