Demo ID: desktop-wallet-management Status: Educational POC Last Updated: December 9, 2025

Executive Summary

Problem Statement

Organizations and developers building BSV applications require robust wallet infrastructure capable of managing keys, organizing funds, and handling complex transaction workflows. Traditional wallet solutions often lack systematic key derivation, proper UTXO organization, and the flexibility needed for enterprise applications. This creates barriers to adoption and increases development complexity for BSV-based services.

Solution Overview

Desktop Wallet Management is an educational proof-of-concept demonstrating comprehensive wallet management capabilities using the @bsv/sdk. The solution showcases hierarchical deterministic key derivation (BRC-42), basket-based UTXO management, secure transaction creation, and balance tracking across multiple fund categories. While demonstrated in a desktop context, the architecture patterns are directly applicable to server-side wallet implementations for enterprise applications.

Key Benefits

  • Systematic Key Organization: BRC-42 deterministic key derivation enables organized, reproducible key management

  • Enhanced Privacy: Protocol-specific keys isolate different application contexts

  • Fund Organization: Basket-based UTXO management provides accounting structure and fund categorization

  • Enterprise Scalability: Patterns demonstrated are production-ready for server-side wallet infrastructure

  • Development Efficiency: Comprehensive educational guide reduces learning curve for BSV wallet development

  • Security Best Practices: Demonstrates proper P2PKH locking scripts and transaction validation

Business Impact

Target Users

  • Primary: Enterprise developers building BSV wallet infrastructure for applications

  • Secondary: Financial services building custodial or non-custodial wallet solutions

  • Tertiary: Blockchain startups requiring robust wallet management for their platforms
