Muun company primary-source snapshot

Fetched: 2026-08-11 UTC

1) Terms of Use / legal entity and official-binary boundary

Source: https://muun.com/en/terms_and_conditions.html/

Selected excerpts from the official site:

Muun Wallet Inc., a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands (“Muun” and/or “We”), provides a self-custodial wallet software for bitcoin and lightning to its users

The only official Muun wallet is the one distributed by us through the official app stores.

Additional signals from the same page:

  • The company explicitly frames the app-store binaries as the canonical wallet, which makes release provenance part of the trust model
  • The same document keeps the legal boundary with one named operator instead of treating Muun as only an open-source wallet label

2) Privacy Policy / operator-owned telemetry and service-provider perimeter

Source: https://muun.com/privacy_policy.html/

Selected excerpts from the official site:

Muun Wallet Inc. built the Muun app as a Free app. This SERVICE is provided by Muun Wallet Inc. at no cost and is intended for use as is.

The app does use third party services that may collect information used to identify you.

Additional signals from the same page:

  • The policy names Google Play Services and Firebase Analytics, which makes the company note useful for reasoning about telemetry and support workflow instead of only custody posture
  • Even for a self-custodial wallet, the named operator still defines the app’s data-collection and third-party-service boundary

3) Recovery-design post / company-authored recovery ceremony

Source: https://blog.muun.com/why-not-just-a-mnemonic/

Selected excerpts from the official site:

Self-custodianship is at the core of everything we do. Therefore, we built an Emergency Kit, leveraging new standards like output descriptors, to provide you with full custody of your bitcoin.

Your Emergency Kit is a PDF document with the information and instructions needed to find and spend your funds independently.

Additional signals from the same page:

  • Muun explicitly presents the Emergency Kit plus Recovery Code as a deliberate operator-authored security model, not an incidental implementation detail
  • This is why companies/muun is useful: the company is packaging a specific theory of modern wallet recovery, not just shipping generic signer software

4) Recovery tool README / escape hatch without operator cooperation

Source: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/muun/recovery/master/README.md

Selected excerpts from the official repository:

You can use this Recovery Tool to transfer all funds out of your Muun account to an address of your choosing.

This process requires no collaboration from Muun to work.

Additional signals from the same page:

  • The recovery lane is explicitly designed to survive company unavailability, which sharpens the analysis instead of weakening the company note
  • The same repo exposes security-contact and reproducible-binary expectations, showing that release and incident workflow remain part of the named operator boundary

5) Homepage / current product framing

Source: https://muun.com/

Selected signals from the official site:

  • The homepage still presents Muun as a self-custodial wallet for Bitcoin and Lightning on Android and iOS
  • The page keeps the public product story narrow, which makes the separate company note useful for preserving the otherwise easy-to-miss operator questions around app provenance, telemetry policy, and recovery choreography

Notes

  • This snapshot was created to support a new companies/muun note and a light projects/muun refresh.
  • The useful split is between projects/muun as the wallet and recovery-design product surface, and companies/muun as the named operator that defines the official binary, legal/privacy shell, telemetry disclosures, and normal recovery ceremony around that self-custodial stack.
