Wallet Scrutiny
Website
Making an issue to track details relating to the WalletScrutiny project collaboration with the community. We have a Slack channel called #wallet-scruitny where discussions around this project are happening. Below are some details of the project:
Introduction
WalletScrutiny aims to enhance the security of all bitcoin wallets, by open sourcing the evaluations of their source code. The primary focus is reproducibility, a test that ensures the wallet that someone is using actually matches the code published online. If this test fails, the wallet is not truly public source and thus was not open to community QA, which creates a security hole that could threaten the balances of all associated wallets. This is what they aim to fix. WalletScrutiny's verdicts are supposed to be 100% verifiable by mildly technical people. Everything is 100% transparent.
What they currently do:
✅ Produce security verdicts on 3000+ mobile and hardware wallets
✅ Write in-depth documentation on the analysis of each wallet
✅ Provide navigation of wallets and verdicts via search
