OpenSats first funded the project in its sixth wave of Bitcoin grants in July 2024 and has since renewed that grant, with Kaufman noting the renewed support allowed him to work full-time on the wallet and begin building a web version. OpenSats has described Blitz Wallet as the first live reference implementation of Spark.
Blake Kaufman's wallet is available on iOS, Android, and as a Progressive Web App, and has grown to more than 5,000 users following its launch on the Apple App Store and Google Play in late 2025. The app offers LNURL addresses, Nostr Wallet Connect, multiple-wallet support, a built-in store, a point-of-sale app, and a standalone Spark recovery tool. Its built-in store integrates The Bitcoin Company, PPQ AI, nadanada, and SMS4Sats for purchases using sats. Current product features include contact-based payments, payment pools, Bitcoin gift links, stablecoin integration, USDB savings, and human-readable payment addresses. Blake Kaufman also placed third among 149 applicants in Cypher Tank.
