FAQ
The fine print, in plain words
Is Kestrel a bank?
No. Kestrel is a self-custody wallet. Assets you hold in Kestrel are not bank deposits and are not FDIC-insured.
Are there risks to holding crypto?
Yes. Digital assets are highly volatile and you could lose some or all of their value. Only hold what you can afford to lose. Kestrel does not provide investment, tax or legal advice.
What does Kestrel cost?
The wallet is free. Swaps carry a fee shown in the quote before you confirm, and network fees are passed through at cost.
What if I lose my phone?
Restore your wallet on a new device with your recovery kit or social recovery contacts. Your funds stay safe on-chain.
