A dead wallet is a cryptocurrency wallet that has been abandoned or discontinued. The app is no longer updated, the official website is offline or redirects somewhere else, and support has gone silent. In many cases the wallet was pulled from the app stores, and the team behind it has moved on.
Dead wallets are common: the space is crowded, and many wallet projects lose funding, get acquired, or simply stop shipping updates. The good news is that a dead wallet does not always mean lost funds. This page lists the wallets we have flagged as dead, so you can check whether a wallet you use or are researching is still maintained. To browse wallets that are still active, see our full crypto wallet list.
Wallets are abandoned for several recurring reasons:
An abandoned wallet slowly becomes unsafe to use: without updates it misses security patches and may break as operating systems and blockchains change. Knowing the signs helps you move your funds before that happens.
We flag a wallet as dead mainly by checking the health of its official website. Our automated checks visit the site of each wallet on a regular schedule and look for clear signs that it is no longer maintained:
When a site fails these checks, we record the date it went offline and mark the wallet as dead. The Website Status and Date Offline columns in the table above show the result. If you believe a wallet is flagged incorrectly, open its wallet page and use the "update data" link in the top bar to let us know.
Not every neglected wallet is fully dead, and the labels are worth separating:
A discontinued wallet usually gives you time to migrate, while a dead one may leave you to recover funds on your own. We focus on the clearest signal we can measure: whether the official website is still online.
For most wallets, yes, as long as you saved your recovery phrase. A non-custodial wallet does not hold your coins; it holds the keys, and your funds live on the blockchain. If the app dies, you can import your seed phrase or private keys into another compatible wallet and your balance is still there.
The exception is a custodial wallet, where the provider controls the keys for you. If that kind of wallet shuts down, recovering funds can be as hard as with a failed exchange. The lesson is simple: always back up your recovery phrase, and prefer wallets where you hold the keys. If a wallet you use appears on this list, move your funds to an actively maintained crypto wallet as soon as you can.
A dead wallet is a cryptocurrency wallet app or service that has been abandoned or discontinued. Its official website is offline or redirecting, it no longer receives updates, and support is gone. The wallet may also have been removed from the app stores.
Many. Wallets are easy to launch and hard to sustain, so a large share of the apps released over the years are no longer maintained. There is no official register, but abandoned wallets number in the hundreds. The list above shows the wallets Blockspot has flagged as dead based on their website status.
We rely mainly on automated checks of the official website of each wallet. If the site is offline, returns an error, has expired, or redirects to an unrelated page, we record the date and mark the wallet as dead. The Website Status and Date Offline columns show this. If you spot an error, you can report it from the wallet page using the "update data" link.
Usually yes, if it was a non-custodial wallet and you saved your recovery phrase. Your coins live on the blockchain, not in the app, so you can import your seed phrase into another compatible wallet and recover your balance. With a custodial wallet, where the provider holds your keys, a shutdown can mean losing access, much like a failed exchange.
Back up your recovery phrase and store it offline in a safe place. Prefer established, open-source, non-custodial wallets that are actively maintained, and check that the project still ships updates. If your wallet stops getting updates or its website goes down, move your funds to an actively maintained wallet. Not your keys, not your coins.
