Synonym, a Bitcoin software firm, has released Bitkit, a new Bitcoin wallet app with portable web profiles and passwordless web accounts. The official announcement was made at the PlanB Forum Bitcoin conference on Saturday. Bitkit is Lightning-compatible and uses the Slashtags protocol from Synonym. Slashtags is a system that creates portable web profiles, automatically updated contacts, contact payment preferences, and password-free authentication using Bitcoin cryptographic seeds. Synonym believes that the use of Bitcoin cryptographic seeds (via Slashtags) to enable portability will set Bitkit apart from other Bitcoin wallets.
