Valet is a fork of Simple Bitcoin Wallet (aka SBW).

As formerly the original, it uses an IMMORTAN library that allows extensive Lightning Network support in addition to non-custodial Bitcoin wallet features in Android.

As much as SBW, it is fully autonomous and does not rely on any kind of centralized service (such as Google services, routing servers, special LSP nodes etc). The destinctive feature of Valet as opposed to the original SBW is Fiat Channels support that replaces original Hosted Channels solution and allows users to have "Hosted" Channels capacities tied to value of some other assets for example US Dollar or Euro. This is technically achieved by assigning a special "ticker" to each channel and adding satoshis-denominated "rate" into fiat channel state (more...).

Valet project Roadmap.

Building from source

git clone https://github.com/standardsats/valet.git
cd valet
git checkout 4.4.4
podman build -t valet .
podman run -v $PWD:/app/valet:z valet

Signing with your self-signed certificate

Install Android SDK, create a keystore.jks using keytool.

$ <Android SDK dir>/build-tools/<version>/zipalign -v 4 app/build/outputs/apk/release/Valet-4.4.4.apk app/build/outputs/apk/release/Valet-4.4.4-aligned.apk

$ <Android SDK dir>/build-tools/<version>/apksigner sign --ks <path to keystore.jks> --ks-key-alias <signing key alias> --v1-signing-enabled true --v2-signing-enabled true app/build/outputs/apk/release/Valet-4.4.4-aligned.apk

Verification with `apksigner`

$ '<Android SDK dir>/build-tools/<version>/apksigner' verify --print-certs --verbose Valet-4.4.4.apk

Output should contain the following info:
