GreenAddress is available for Android, iOS, and Chrome. All apps are and will remain open source, Blockstream said in a statement.
“As we looked at our sidechain technology roadmap, the addition of an open source, well-tested, production quality wallet was a natural choice. It increases the reach of our platform and allows us to meet the requirements of our enterprise applications,” the statement added.
Following the acquisition, the development team of GreenAddress will join Blockstream’s engineering teams.
GreenAddress's founder Lawrence Nahum Lawrence will assume the role of senior architect and will continue to oversee GreenAddress.
