Compare wallet custody, backup requirements and documented MWEB support, with links to official releases.
Choose a wallet by custody model, backup procedure and documented Litecoin features. Transparent LTC support does not establish MWEB support. This guide was corrected on 15 September 2026; it is a documentation comparison, not a hands-on security certification.
| Wallet | Role | MWEB and verification |
|---|---|---|
| Litecoin Core | Full node and desktop wallet | Native MWEB implementation. Use the current release and read security notes. |
| Nexus | Mobile wallet; successor path for Litewallet users | Consult the official migration and feature guide for the installed platform and version. |
| Cake Wallet | Mobile and desktop wallet family | MWEB was introduced in version 4.20.0. Check current platform support and enablement instructions. |
| Electrum-LTC | Lightweight desktop wallet | The official download page lists 4.2.2.1, dated June 2022. It does not substantiate the MWEB functionality previously claimed in this article. |
| Hardware wallets | Keep signing keys on a dedicated device | Verify the exact device, firmware and companion application. Litecoin support alone does not mean MWEB support. |
Start from the developer's official site. Check the operating system and release date, verify the downloaded file where signatures are provided, and read known issues. Never enter a recovery phrase into a website, support chat or browser form. A wallet password and a recovery phrase serve different purposes.
Follow the wallet's own backup instructions. Do not assume that every wallet uses the same seed standard or restores every address type from an identical phrase. Keep recovery material offline and test recovery with a small balance before relying on it. For Core, preserve a wallet backup using the documented procedure; for hardware devices, confirm receive addresses on the device screen.
Confirm that both the sending and receiving workflow support MWEB. Peg-ins and peg-outs cross between the transparent chain and the extension block; privacy is not equivalent to invisibility. Transaction timing, endpoints and exchange records can still reveal information. Test a small transfer and check exchange deposit policies before moving larger amounts.
