**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.

## Safe setup in 3 steps

1. Download only from featherwallet.org (or its onion mirror) or github.com/feather-wallet/feather releases, never from search ads or links in chat.

2. Verify the download: check its .asc signature or the signed hashes file against the release key fingerprint 8185 E158 A333 30C7 FD61 BC0D 1F76 E155 CEFB A71C.

3. Write the 16-word Polyseed on paper offline, and run Feather on a clean, up-to-date machine (Tails is supported) with a strong wallet password.

## What it can do with your money
