Sigil can discover and sweep funds from other BSV wallets by scanning multiple BIP44 derivation paths. This is essential for recovering funds from defunct providers or migrating from other wallets.

Sigil automatically scans these derivation paths to find your funds:

† Service discontinued or shut down

Sigil provides a recovery path for users of these defunct BSV services:

• Centbee — Popular BSV mobile wallet that ceased operations in 2026. Uses BSV Standard derivation (m/44'/236'/...) with 4-digit PIN as BIP39 passphrase.
• MoneyButton — Popular BSV wallet and identity provider that shut down in 2023. Used Bitcoin Legacy derivation (m/44'/0'/...).
• Simply.Cash — Mobile BSV wallet that ceased operations. Used Bitcoin Cash derivation path (m/44'/145'/...).
• HandCash 1.x — Early versions of HandCash used a non-standard legacy path (m/0'/...). Note: HandCash 2.0+ uses proprietary non-exportable keys and cannot be imported.

Sigil also supports migrating from active BSV wallets:

• RelayX — BSV wallet and token platform
• RockWallet — Multi-chain mobile wallet with BSV support
• Twetch — BSV social media platform with integrated wallet
• ElectrumSV — Desktop BSV wallet
• Exodus — Multi-chain desktop/mobile wallet

• Trezor — Hardware wallet with BSV support
• Ledger — Hardware wallet with BSV support
• KeepKey — Hardware wallet with BSV support

Discover funds from another wallet's mnemonic:

sigil wallet discover --mnemonic "your twelve or twenty-four word phrase"

For Centbee wallets (uses 4-digit PIN as passphrase):

sigil wallet discover --mnemonic "your phrase" --passphrase "1234"

See the CLI Documentation for complete details on wallet discovery and fund recovery.

This project uses goreleaser for streamlined binary deployment to GitHub. To get started, install it via:

brew install goreleaser

The release process is defined in the .goreleaser.yml configuration file.

• Linux: amd64, arm64
• macOS: amd64, arm64
• Windows: amd64, arm64

Then create and push a new Git tag using:

magex version:bump bump=patch push=true

This process ensures consistent, repeatable releases with properly versioned artifacts and citation metadata.

magex help

Common commands:

• magex build — Build the binary
• magex test — Run test suite
• magex lint — Run all linters
• magex deps:update — Update dependencies

Sigil uses the Fortress workflow system for comprehensive CI/CD:

• fortress-test-suite.yml — Complete test suite across multiple Go versions
• fortress-code-quality.yml — Code quality checks (gofmt, golangci-lint, staticcheck)
• fortress-security-scans.yml — Security vulnerability scanning
• fortress-coverage.yml — Code coverage reporting to Codecov
• fortress-release.yml — Automated binary releases via GoReleaser

See all workflows in .github/workflows/.

To update all dependencies (Go modules, linters, and related tools), run:

magex deps:update

This command ensures all dependencies are brought up to date in a single step, including Go modules and any managed tools. It is the recommended way to keep your development environment and CI in sync with the latest versions.
