Foundation Devices, a company that specializes in Bitcoin-related tools, has announced the release of its Envoy mobile app as a separate Bitcoin mobile wallet with improved features for managing accounts and privacy.
According to a press release sent to Bitcoin Magazine, this update is part of Foundation’s mission to make digital independence more accessible and to reduce the barriers to self-custody of bitcoin.
