Monero Privacy Features
Feather Wallet enables you to fully leverage Monero's built-in privacy features:
Ring Signatures
Every Monero transaction uses ring signatures that combine your signature with multiple decoy signatures, making it mathematically impossible to trace the actual sender. Feather Wallet automatically applies ring signatures to all transactions.
Stealth Addresses
Each transaction generates a unique stealth address for the recipient. External observers cannot determine which addresses belong to you or how many addresses you own.
RingCT (Ring Confidential Transactions)
Transaction amounts are hidden using cryptographic commitments. Nobody can see the quantity of Monero being transferred, even with transaction data.

Multiple Wallets
Create and manage multiple independent wallets within a single application (Desktop only).
Account Management
