Infinity Wallet Desktop
A desktop application for managing digital assets and accessing Web3 applications across multiple blockchain networks.
Infinity Wallet
Infinity Wallet was a non-custodial, all-in-one cryptocurrency wallet designed primarily for desktop users. Founded in 2018 by Aaron Bailey and Jordan Walker and incorporated as Shardax Limited in the United Kingdom, the project launched its wallet software in 2020 with the stated mission to "liberate global wealth and empower individuals worldwide to create a better future using blockchain technology."
As of September 30, 2025, Infinity Wallet has been deprecated and is no longer actively maintained. The team published an official deprecation notice — now hosted at the project's GitHub repository, which is also where the main domain redirects — stating: "The Infinity Wallet software has been deprecated and is no longer supported. While the software may continue to partially function due to its non-custodial nature, functionality may at some time be no longer available." The project documentation domain has been taken offline and no successor project or acquisition has been announced.
What Infinity Wallet Was
Infinity Wallet positioned itself as a comprehensive self-custody solution: a single desktop application where users could hold, swap, stake, and manage a broad range of digital assets without creating accounts or undergoing KYC identity verification. The wallet ran on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with mobile versions for Android and iOS listed as under development at the time of shutdown. Private keys were encrypted and stored locally on the user's device rather than on any server, and the software supported offline seed phrase generation to reduce exposure to network-based attacks.
The wallet aimed to unify portfolio management by supporting ten primary blockchain networks: Bitcoin (via BIP84 and BIP49 derivation standards), Ethereum and several EVM-compatible chains including Binance Smart Chain, Binance Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism, as well as XRP, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Metrix. Additional support for Solana, Polkadot, and Aptos was announced by the team. Across supported chains, the platform claimed compatibility with more than 150,000 digital assets, encompassing ERC-20, BEP-20, and Polygon-native tokens.
Built-In DEX and Swaps
Infinity Wallet integrated a decentralized exchange function, enabling token swaps directly within the application without requiring users to navigate to an external protocol. Trades carried a 0.40% fee, split between two destinations: 0.35% distributed proportionately among liquidity providers, and 0.05% allocated as protocol revenue to holders of the project's native SHARD governance token. A ChangeNOW exchange API integration supplemented this native DEX, extending the swap options available to users with additional asset pairs.
SHARD Token
The project issued SHARD as its native governance and utility token, with a fixed hard cap of 210 million tokens. SHARD holders received a share of the protocol fees generated through in-wallet DEX activity. The token was designed to give long-term participants a stake in the protocol's economics and a mechanism for governance participation, though the extent of any formal governance infrastructure was not detailed in public documentation before shutdown.
NFT and Additional Features
Infinity Wallet incorporated NFT display and management capabilities, and the team produced an original Infinity Card Collection listed on OpenSea. The project had also announced a cross-chain NFT marketplace as a future development direction, though this was not completed prior to deprecation.
Additional features included a multi-wallet management interface allowing users to monitor multiple seed phrases and accounts within a single view, making it practical for users managing wallets across different networks without switching between applications.
Shutdown and Asset Recovery
No public explanation for the shutdown was provided by the team. Infinity Wallet had limited public social media presence — no active official Twitter or Discord accounts were maintained at the time of deprecation — and the GitHub repository reflects a single final commit replacing all prior code with a deprecation notice.
Because the wallet was non-custodial and used standard derivation paths (BIP84 and BIP49 for Bitcoin, standard EVM paths for Ethereum-compatible chains), wallets generated within the software remain recoverable. Users can import their 12- or 24-word seed phrases into compatible third-party non-custodial wallets such as MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or hardware wallet interfaces. The deprecation notice on GitHub includes a compatibility table listing recommended alternative wallets for each supported blockchain, allowing former users to migrate to actively maintained software without losing access to their funds.
Infinity Wallet operated for approximately five years before closing. It was an independently operated product, and no acquisition or transition to a successor project was announced in connection with its shutdown.
