What was the Jaxx Liberty wallet?
Jaxx Liberty was a multi-coin crypto wallet from Decentral Inc., the company co-founded by Ethereum's Anthony Di Iorio. It launched in 2018 as a redesign of the 2014 Jaxx app.
Like most wallets of its era it was non-custodial: coins sat on the blockchain and a 12-word recovery phrase was the only key. No account, nobody holding your balance — and that phrase was the only way back in later.

Features that made it popular
Its appeal was simplicity — set-up in minutes and everything behind one clean dashboard.
- One dashboard, many coins: every balance in a single list.
- In-app swaps: convert between supported coins without leaving the app.
- Single backup: one 12-word phrase covered every wallet inside it.
Is Jaxx Liberty still working in 2026?
No. Decentral retired Jaxx Liberty on 27 March 2023 and its servers are offline. Balances, prices and sending all stopped, even if an old copy still opens on your device.
Your coins were never inside the app, though. They sit on the blockchain, and the same phrase opens them in a compatible wallet.
Which coins did it hold?
Jaxx Liberty handled over a hundred assets — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Dash and many ERC-20 tokens. One phrase can therefore unlock several chains, each needing its own compatible wallet.
How to recover funds from Jaxx Liberty
- Don't uninstall the old app yet — your phrase may still be shown inside it.
- Write the 12 words on paper, in order, and keep them offline.
- Restore those words in a wallet that still supports your coins.
- Send a small test amount first, confirm it lands, then move the rest.
- Once every balance is confirmed elsewhere, retire the old app.
Nobody legitimate needs your recovery phrase. Anyone who asks for those words is trying to drain the wallet.
Frequently asked questions
Can I still send coins from Jaxx Liberty?
No. The servers are closed, so it cannot reach a network to send or receive.
What if I lost my 12-word phrase?
There is no seed to restore, and a wallet cannot be rebuilt from a password alone. A recovery specialist is the only option left.
Is a Jaxx app in a store safe to download?
Be careful. With the official product retired, copies sold elsewhere may be fakes built to steal your phrase.
