Under construction — Ermine is in early development. Nothing to download yet; this is a preview of what we're building, in the open.

A Monero wallet built to disappear.

The ermine turns white in winter — not to hide that it exists, but to be indistinguishable from the snow. That's how your money should move.

Built to vanish. Built to prove it.

Five privacy pillars, one discipline: nothing ships on trust alone.

Your own node

The wallet talks to your node and no one else's — no third party ever sees your wallet exists.

Tor isolation per account

Each identity walks its own Tor circuit. Your accounts can never be linked by the network.

Automated churn

Your history quietly sheds its past on a randomized schedule — the molt, automated.

Plausible deniability

A wallet that can honestly show nothing — decoy and duress wallets by design, not as an afterthought.

Proven, not promised

Every privacy invariant is enforced by a machine-checked assurance harness, built in the open.

Rust, end to end

Memory-safe from key handling to interface — no legacy C++ core, no bolted-on bindings.

Where the build stands

We build in the open, one proven slice at a time.

Now
  • Architecture locked: Rust end to end, specs written in the open
  • Phase 0: the full wallet loop on Monero stagenet — create, scan, sign, broadcast, restore
Next
  • Your own node, bundled and supervised
  • Per-account Tor stream isolation
  • Automated churn with randomized timing
Later
  • Plausible deniability: decoy & duress wallets
  • Change-privacy controls
  • Public assurance dashboard: every invariant, machine-checked

Support development

Ermine is unfunded, unsponsored, and will never sell your data — it can't see any. If you want this wallet to exist, the only fuel it takes is Monero.

No release yet. No downloads, no promises sold — just a wallet earning its claims one proven invariant at a time. Follow along.
