How It Works

GhostTap connects to the Ghost network through a Ghost Service Provider (GSP) for chain sync, while keeping all keys and signing local to your device.

1

Key Derivation

Standard BIP-44 HD key derivation (coin type 531). Create a new wallet or import via BIP-39 seed phrase. Keys are stored in your device's secure enclave or keychain.

2

Chain Sync via GSP

Connects to a Ghost Service Provider over WebSocket for lightweight chain synchronization. No need to download the full blockchain.

3

Ghost Pay L2

Instant transfers settle in ~10 seconds on the Ghost Pay L2 layer. Lock funds to Ghost Pay for fast spending, settle back to Bitcoin L1 on-demand.

4

L1 Settlement

Settle your L2 balance back to any Bitcoin address at any time. Your funds are always backed by real Bitcoin UTXOs.

No Node Required
GhostTap is a light wallet — it connects to the Ghost network through a GSP, so you can send and receive payments without running a full node.

Hot Wallet Warning
GhostTap is designed for spending money, not storing savings. Keep only what you need for daily spending. Use cold storage or a hardware wallet for larger amounts.
