Wallet fundamentals

What is MyPIVXWallet?

MyPIVXWallet is the official web wallet of PIVX. It runs entirely in your browser: no installation, no registration, no account — and no server that could freeze a balance.

Your keys are derived from a seed phrase that only you know, and they are stored encrypted on your device. That is what non-custodial means: you are not logged in to a service, you are holding the keys.

Because it is a web wallet, the same seed opens the same wallet on your desktop and on your phone — nothing has to be installed to start.

What it can do

Six things in one wallet.

Everything below runs from the same seed — no second app, no export, no switching tools.

Send & receive

Create an address, copy it, receive PIVX — and send with a fee you can see before you confirm. Balances and history are right there.

Staking

Cold staking built in. You keep the owner key that can spend your PIVX and delegate only the staking role, so the balance keeps earning while the wallet is closed — no browser tab left open, no keys sitting online.

Masternode control

Create a Masternode configuration, watch its status and keep an eye on rewards — the collateral stays in your wallet the whole time.

Privacy tools

Shield your PIVX so sender, receiver and amount are not visible on-chain — right from the wallet, without a separate mixer.

Coupon codes

Create and redeem decentralized coupon codes — a payment primitive that lives on the chain instead of in a shop database.

Local, encrypted

The wallet data is encrypted and stored in your browser. No upload, no backup on a company server — closing the tab does not touch your keys.

From zero to a wallet

Three steps, a few minutes.

Nothing to download and nothing to sync. The only step you should not rush is the backup.

  1. Open the wallet

    Go to app.mypivxwallet.org in your browser. There is no install, no extension and no account.

  2. Create and back up

    Generate a new wallet and write the seed phrase on paper before you put a single coin into it.

  3. Receive or stake

    Copy your address to receive PIVX. Staking runs as cold staking: set it up once and the balance keeps earning while the wallet stays closed.

The part that decides everything

Your seed phrase is the wallet.

Not the password, not the browser, not this page. Whoever holds those words holds the coins.

Do

  • Write the seed on paper — ideally twice, in two different places.
  • Open the wallet by typing the address, never through an ad or a DM link.
  • Check the first and last characters of an address before you send.
  • Keep browser and device up to date.

Never

  • Photograph or screenshot the seed, or keep it in a cloud note.
  • Type it into a page you reached through a search ad or a message.
  • Send it to anyone — no real support will ever ask for it.
  • Leave an unlocked device with the wallet open.
Which wallet fits

MyPIVXWallet, Core wallet or exchange.

All three hold PIVX. They differ in who controls the keys and how much setup they cost you.

Questions that come up

Short answers.

If something is missing here, the two videos above show it step by step.

Is MyPIVXWallet really non-custodial?

Yes. The seed is generated in your browser, stays on your device and is stored encrypted there. There is no account and no server that could move or freeze your coins — which also means nobody can restore them for you.

What happens if I clear my browser data?

The wallet disappears from that device, your coins do not. Enter the seed phrase again and the same wallet is back with the same balance. Exactly why the paper backup is the first thing you do.

Can I stake with it?

Yes — as cold staking. You keep the owner key that can spend your PIVX, only the staking role is delegated, and that is why the wallet does not have to stay online: no browser tab open, no keys on a device that is running day and night. The balance keeps earning and the staker never gets spending power over your coins.

What does the wallet cost?

The wallet itself is free. You only pay the normal PIVX network fee when you send a transaction — no subscription, no service fee.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It is a web wallet, so the same page runs in a mobile browser. Use the same seed phrase and you see the same balance — never create a second wallet for the same funds.

Ready when you are Your keys. Your PIVX.

Open the wallet, write the seed down, and you are done — no account, no approval, no waiting.
