What is Burner?

An introduction to Burner.

Updated over a month ago

Burner is a physical card wallet designed for everyone. It combines ease of use, affordability, and advanced security with a simple browser-based experience. Burner removes the need for complex setups and seed phrases by using secure-chip technology, making everyday interactions with crypto straightforward and accessible.

Burner comes in two versions:

  • Burner Ethereum: built for the Ethereum network and EVM-compatible chains (see support chains).

  • Burner Bitcoin: built specifically for the Bitcoin network.

Both versions of Burner support two modes: Wallet and Gift Card.
​
​Note: Only Wallet mode is currently available. Gift Card mode is coming soon.

  • Wallet mode: A full wallet experience for managing assets, sending and receiving transactions, and using supported networks and apps.

  • Gift Card: A simplified experience for gifting crypto designed to make receiving and using crypto easy for anyone. Gift Cards can be converted into Wallet mode.
