Is Feather Wallet safe to connect?

Privacy wallet · Monero. Checked 2026-10-24; every line links its source.

Worst case: Feather keeps your keys on your computer, so malware on that machine, a fake installer, or a leaked Polyseed can empty the wallet. The last release was 2025-04-14, so a future Monero upgrade may need a new version before you can send.
