Starknet Foundation launches Bramble, a self-custody wallet with STRK20 privacy
In brief
- Bramble, the Starknet Foundation's wallet, went live on October 20, 2026, according to Crypto Briefing.
- STRK20, Starknet's privacy framework for private balances, is supported in Bramble.
- Shielding of public tokens and private transfers are available inside the wallet.
- Ledger devices, multisig accounts, encrypted local vaults and spending allowances are also supported.
- No market reaction or independent expert commentary has been observed so far, the report noted.
What Bramble does
Self-custody sits at the center of the pitch. Users hold their own keys rather than trusting an exchange or other third party with them, per Crypto Briefing's report on the Foundation's release.
The privacy side goes further than STRK20 support. Bramble also plugs directly into Starknet's on-chain privacy tools, Crypto Briefing reported, so users can shield public tokens and send private transfers without leaving the wallet.
The rest of the feature list is more familiar. According to the report, Bramble supports Ledger hardware wallets and multisig accounts (a multisig account needs approval from more than one key before funds can move). It also offers encrypted local vaults and spending allowances. The features listed here are as Crypto Briefing described them in its report on the release, and they haven't been independently verified.
A short road to launch
Bramble didn't show up out of nowhere. Hints about the wallet circulated as far back as mid-September 2026, and a beta version was available from October 12, according to Crypto Briefing. The Foundation then publicly teased the wallet on October 19, a day before the official launch.
Bramble ships as a Chrome extension.
Its listed version is 0.10.5, following a minor update on October 8, 2026, the report said. That's a sub-1.0 version number on launch day, which is worth knowing if you're the type who reads version strings before installing anything.
Where STRK fits
Starknet's STRK token serves as the network's fee, staking and governance asset. The report didn't link the wallet's release to any move in the token, though.
So far, there's been no immediate commentary from independent experts and no observed market reaction, Crypto Briefing noted. For now, Bramble's story is the feature list itself: self-custody, Ledger and multisig support, and private balances through STRK20, all in a browser extension.
