Liana is a Bitcoin wallet designed around timelocked recovery policies.
It gives users an immediate primary spending path while allowing one or more delayed recovery paths that only become spendable after the wallet has been inactive for a defined period. The design is intended for trustless inheritance, loss protection, and more resilient backup arrangements, including multisig setups.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Primary spending path for normal day-to-day wallet access.
- Timelocked recovery paths enforced on-chain by the Bitcoin network.
- Support for multisig policies in primary and recovery paths.
- Graphical interface with an installer for setting up a Liana wallet.
- Standalone daemon exposing a JSON-RPC API through a Unix domain socket.
