Hiro is a self-custody cryptocurrency wallet designed for Bitcoin and the Stacks blockchain. It gives users full control over their digital assets, letting them buy, send, receive, and swap tokens directly within the interface. The wallet connects to various decentralized exchanges and DeFi protocols, enabling users to interact with the broader Web3 ecosystem without leaving the app. It's available as a browser extension and mobile app, aiming to be a user's primary hub for managing their crypto portfolio.

What sets Hiro apart is its deep integration with the Bitcoin layer. Beyond basic storage, it provides tools for stacking (similar to staking) to earn rewards on Stacks tokens and access to sBTC, which brings Bitcoin into DeFi. The wallet emphasizes security and clarity, featuring support for Ledger hardware wallets, open-source code, and independent security audits. It also helps users stay organized with features for naming wallets and filtering out unwanted tokens.

This tool is for anyone actively using Bitcoin and interested in exploring applications built on top of it, like smart contracts and decentralized finance on Stacks. It's particularly useful for users who want to keep their assets in self-custody while still accessing services like token swaps and yield-earning opportunities, all from a single, focused interface.
