Console Wallet is a self-custodial cryptocurrency browser extension wallet developed by PixelPlex Ltd. It is designed primarily as a financial gateway for the Canton network, enabling users to store, manage, and transact with digital assets. The wallet allows users to connect with and interact with decentralized applications (dApps) within the Canton ecosystem. ^{[1] [2]}​

Overview

Console Wallet functions as a non-custodial browser extension, meaning users retain full control over their cryptographic keys, such as private keys, passkeys, and seed phrases. These keys are generated and stored locally on the user's device and are not accessible to Console Wallet's servers or any third parties. The wallet's primary function is to provide an interface for the Canton network, allowing it to read and display public ledger data, including transactions and on-chain offers. ^[1]​

The wallet was developed by PixelPlex Ltd., a software development company based in London, UK. ^[1] Console Wallet targets both individual retail users and institutional clients, with a stated goal of facilitating institutional adoption of decentralized finance. Its development and marketing have emphasized security features such as clear signing, passkey integration, and built-in phishing protection to create a secure user experience. ^[2]​

History and Development

Console Wallet was developed by PixelPlex Ltd. and introduced to the public in late 2025 through a phased rollout strategy. ^{[1] [2]}​

On October 31, 2025, the team announced that invites for a closed beta program would soon be distributed. The program offered early access and rewards to approved testers who signed up through a dedicated portal. ^[2] This was followed by the opening of a public pre-registration on November 3, 2025. The pre-registration process prioritized what the team referred to as "real users and active community members," particularly those who already possessed a Canton network party ID, in an effort to curb bot registrations and build an engaged initial user base. ^[2]​

In the lead-up to its public availability, Console Wallet secured its position within the Canton ecosystem. On November 11, 2025, it was officially selected as a "Featured App" on the Canton Network, formalizing its role as a key infrastructure provider for the network's users. ^[2] The following day, November 12, 2025, as the Canton Network's native token (CC token from day one. ^[2]​

Technology and Features

Console Wallet integrates several technologies and features focused on security, usability, and interaction with the Canton network.

Core Functionality

• Network Interaction: The wallet's primary purpose is to serve as an interface for the Canton network. It reads public on-chain data and presents it to the user. It also facilitates dApp connectivity by injecting a provider into visited websites, which allows third-party applications to request transaction signatures and interact with the user's wallet after explicit user permission. ^[1]
• Asset Management: Users can store, send, and receive digital assets on the Canton network. The wallet's interface displays user identifiers such as addresses, Party IDs, and aliases. Supported assets include the Canton network's native token, $CC, with plans to integrate others like CBTC. ^{[1] [2]}

Security and Key Management

Console Wallet is built on a self-custodial architecture that prioritizes user control and on-device security.

• Self-Custodial Model: The wallet ensures that private keys, passkeys, and seed phrases are generated or imported directly on the user's device and never leave it. The company does not have access to these user credentials. ^[1]
• On-Device Storage: The wallet offers multiple methods for securing keys locally. When using passkeys, the cryptographic material is stored within the secure enclave of the device's operating system. A "password mode" is also available, which encrypts the user's keys with a password directly on their device. ^[1]
• Clear Signing: This feature is designed to make transactions more transparent and secure. It presents transaction details in a human-readable format, helping users understand exactly what actions they are authorizing. According to a sponsored feature, this is facilitated through the use of passkeys. ^[2]
• Phishing and Risk Protection: The wallet includes several built-in security mechanisms to protect users from malicious actors. It features domain risk flags that check for punycode and look-alike domains to prevent phishing attacks. It also integrates proactive risk checks that analyze potential threats before a user signs a transaction. ^{[1] [2]}
• Abuse Prevention: To maintain service integrity, the backend employs security measures such as rate-limit counters and monitors security signals from user devices (e.g., user-agent, OS version) to detect and block malicious activity. ^[1]

Other Features

• Offer-Based Transfers: The wallet utilizes an "offer-based" transfer mechanism, a feature highlighted in its official bio and pre-registration materials. ^[2]
• Name-Based Addresses: Promotional materials for pre-registration indicated that the wallet would support user-friendly, name-based addresses as an alternative to standard complex cryptographic addresses. ^[2]
• Optional Account Access System: Users can opt-in to certain features by providing an email address. This system is used for receiving short-lived access codes for authentication, gaining access to private beta programs, enrolling in rewards programs, and managing allowlist status for specific events or features. ^[1]
• Google Sign-In: As an alternative authentication method for its account access system, the wallet offers an optional integration with Google Sign-In. ^[1]

Privacy and Data Handling

Console Wallet's privacy policy, last updated on October 21, 2025, states that the company operates on a principle of minimal data collection and does not sell personal data or use it for third-party advertising. ^[1]​

Data Collection Policy

The wallet is designed to function with minimal personal data.

• Data Not Collected: The wallet does not request the browsingHistory permission from the browser and does not track a user's general web browsing activity. Critically, it never collects or has access to user private keys, passkeys, or seed phrases. ^[1]
• Opt-In Data Collection: An email address is collected only if a user voluntarily provides it for specific services, such as receiving access codes, joining beta or rewards programs, or contacting support. ^[1]
• Automatic Data Collection: Anonymized or pseudonymous technical data is collected for operational purposes. This includes user-agent strings, OS/browser versions, timestamps, and error codes used for security, debugging, and service improvement. This log data is typically retained for 30 to 90 days. ^[1]
• Support Data: Any communication sent to the support email, including attachments, may be retained for up to 24 months to manage user inquiries. ^[1]

Data Sharing

Data is shared with third-party service providers only when necessary for the wallet's operation.

• Cloud Hosting: Technical logs and API metadata are shared with infrastructure providers like Google Cloud or AWS.
• Email Delivery: User-provided email addresses are shared with delivery services like SendGrid or Amazon SES to send authentication codes and support replies.
• Error and Analytics: Users can opt-in to share crash reports and usage events with analytics providers such as Sentry, Amplitude, or Plausible to help improve wallet stability.
• Security: Risk indicators like a user's user-agent may be shared with anti-abuse services like Cloudflare to help prevent malicious activity. ^[1]

Ecosystem and Partnerships

Console Wallet's strategy has involved deep integration with the Canton network and strategic partnerships to expand its utility.

Canton Network

Console Wallet is positioned as the primary "finance gateway" for the Canton Network. This close relationship was solidified when it was chosen as a "Featured App" on the network. The wallet provides native support for the network's token, $CC, allowing users to hold and manage the asset securely. ^[2]​

BitSafe_Finance

On November 6, 2025, Console Wallet announced a strategic partnership with BitSafe_Finance. The collaboration's objective is to integrate CBTC, a Canton-native Bitcoin asset, into the Canton ecosystem and make it manageable through Console Wallet. ^[2]​

Institutional Outreach

A key part of Console Wallet's market strategy is targeting institutional clients. On November 10, 2025, it was announced as a sponsor of "The Bridge," an event in New York City hosted by the financial data firm The Tie on November 12. The sponsorship aimed to showcase the wallet's capabilities for institutional-grade self-custody. The project has also been featured in sponsored content on publications like Cointelegraph to reach a broad crypto-native audience. ^[2]​
