HoldFast Wallet
HoldFast Wallet is a wallet for DGB built for privacy and recovery, published by Around The Block LLC and installed from Google Play. Independent wallet by Around The Block LLC. Not an official DigiByte app. It was called ATB Wallet for DigiByte (DGB) in version 4.1.0 and DigiByte Mobile before that; it is the same app, and it updates in place. It is the first wallet for DigiByte to sync using BIP 157/158 compact block filters by default: instead of handing a server the list of addresses you care about, your phone downloads compact filters and checks them locally, so no third party learns which addresses are yours. It restores universally, too: one seed phrase recovers funds across every historical DigiByte derivation path, so wallets created in older apps come back whole.
It carries the rest of the DigiByte stack as well. DigiDollar, the USD-denominated stable token on DigiByte, is live on mainnet for sending, receiving and holding, with its own balance and its own DD… receive address; because DigiDollar amounts are recorded on-chain in US cents, the balance is exact without any price feed. DigiAssets move natively, tokens and NFTs alike, with the same wallet you use for DGB. Digi-ID lets you sign in to supporting sites by scanning a QR code, with no password and no account. Taproot addresses are supported for both receiving and spending.
It is fully non-custodial: you hold your own keys, and they live on your device and nowhere else. The wallet is open source, and every release is also published as a signed APK with its SHA-256, signed with the same key as the Google Play build, so you can verify exactly what you installed.
Moving from DigiByte Wallet? HoldFast Wallet is a new app, so it installs alongside the old one. Choose Recover Existing Wallet, enter the same recovery phrase (and passphrase, if you set one), and pick the year the wallet was created (if you are not sure, pick an earlier year or choose "I don't remember", because a later year can miss older transactions). Nothing moves on chain, and your DigiAssets and DigiDollar come along. Keep the old app until the new one shows your balance.
Frequently asked questions
- What makes this wallet private?
- It syncs with BIP 157/158 compact block filters by default, so your phone checks the chain locally instead of telling a server which addresses belong to you.
- Can it restore a wallet from another DigiByte app?
- Yes. Universal seed restore recovers funds across every historical DigiByte derivation path from a single seed phrase.
- Is the wallet custodial?
- No. It is fully non-custodial — your private keys stay on your device and DigiScope never holds your funds.
- Can it send DigiAssets?
- Yes. The wallet sends DigiAssets (tokens and NFTs) natively, alongside regular DGB.
- Does it support DigiDollar?
- Yes — sending, receiving and holding DigiDollar are live on mainnet, with a dedicated balance and a DD… receive address. Minting and redeeming DigiDollar are not part of the wallet.
- Does it support Digi-ID?
- Yes. Scan a Digi-ID QR code to sign in to sites that support it — no password and no account, the wallet proves who you are with a signature.
- Can I install it without Google Play?
- Yes. Every release is also published as a signed APK with its SHA-256 checksum, so you can verify the download before installing. Play installs and the APK are signed with the same key, so either one can update the other. The source, including the native DigiByte core, is on GitHub.
- I use DigiByte Wallet. Is this an update?
- No. HoldFast Wallet is a new app, so it installs alongside DigiByte Wallet. You move across by restoring the same recovery phrase; nothing moves on chain.
- Is this the app that was called ATB Wallet for DigiByte (DGB) or DigiByte Mobile?
- Yes. DigiByte Mobile became ATB Wallet for DigiByte (DGB) in version 4.1.0, and ATB Wallet for DigiByte (DGB) became HoldFast Wallet in version 4.1.1. It is the same app (app.aroundtheblock.wallet) with the same signing key, so it updates in place and your wallet and settings carry over.
- Who publishes HoldFast Wallet?
- Around The Block LLC. Independent wallet by Around The Block LLC. Not an official DigiByte app. The wallet is open source.
