Smirk Wallet v0.1.6

Non-custodial social tipping for Telegram and Discord

Smirk Wallet is a non-custodial browser extension that lets you tip people cryptocurrency by their Telegram or Discord username. We have shipped six releases and the extension is available now on GitHub.

What It Does

One 12-word seed phrase gives you addresses for five currencies: Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero, Wownero, and Grin. Link your Telegram or Discord account on smirk.cash, and anyone running Smirk can send you crypto by username.

Tips are encrypted with the recipient's public key. Only they can claim. If a tip goes unclaimed, the sender can claw it back. No funds get lost.

Non-Custodial by Design

Your private spend keys are generated locally and never leave your browser. They are encrypted with your password. We store only public keys and view keys (for Monero/Wownero balance scanning). We cannot move your funds.

What We Built

  • Browser extension (TypeScript, Preact, Vite)
  • Backend API (Rust, Axum, PostgreSQL)
  • Light wallet servers for XMR and WOW
  • Grin wallet with client-side WASM
  • Telegram and Discord bots for tip notifications
  • User dashboard at smirk.cash

Chrome Web Store Status

Our initial submission was rejected for requesting an unused permission (activeTab). We had included it for a planned feature that was not yet implemented. The fix is already in v0.1.6. We have removed the permission and resubmitted.

In the meantime, you can install manually from GitHub Releases. Firefox support is also available.

Open Source

Everything is open source. The extension, backend, and WASM libraries are all on GitHub:
