Answers based on the actual Nexus Wallet build — not marketing copy.
Yes. Nexus Wallet is fully self-custody. Your private keys are encrypted on your device and are never transmitted to any server. There is no Nexus Wallet backend that holds or has access to your funds. You are the sole controller of your wallet.
Keys are encrypted using AES-256-GCM encryption with a key derived from your PIN or pattern via PBKDF2 (200,000 SHA-256 iterations). The plaintext key exists only in memory during active use. Android system backups are explicitly blocked so keys cannot be extracted via cloud backup.
Nexus Wallet supports multiple EVM-compatible networks: Ethereum (1), Polygon (137), Arbitrum (42161), Optimism (10), Base (8453), BNB Smart Chain (56), Avalanche C-Chain (43114), and zkSync Era (324). You can also add any custom EVM network by entering the chain ID, RPC URL, and native token symbol.
Yes. Nexus Wallet supports importing wallets via 12 or 24-word BIP-39 mnemonic seed phrases using the standard Ethereum derivation path (m/44'/60'/0'/0/0), as well as raw private keys in standard hex format (with or without the 0x prefix).
Transfer Hub is a batch transaction feature that allows you to send assets from multiple wallets simultaneously. It includes a self-transfer mode for consolidating funds from many wallets into a single address — useful for managing a portfolio of wallets across EVM networks.
Nexus Wallet requires Android 7.0 (API level 24) or higher. It targets Android 14 (API level 34). The app is built with Java 17, AndroidX WebKit, and the AndroidX Biometric library. It runs on both ARM and x86 Android devices.
The APK is currently distributed as a debug build via GitHub Actions CI/CD. Play Store publication requires a signed release build. The open-source build process is fully transparent — you can review the GitHub Actions workflow and build the APK yourself from the source code.
The multi-DEX swap engine aggregates quotes from Odos, 1inch, KyberSwap, Enso, Bungee, Velora, and others. Most endpoints work with public access. Some DEX APIs (like 1inch) perform better with a personal API key, which can be configured in the app settings.
