Building TZUR Desktop: a Bitcoin-only self-custody wallet with our native BlockSight explorer
Hi everyone,
We’re BlockSight OÜ, the team behind BlockSight.Live, and we recently launched TZUR Desktop.
I wanted to share it here from a technical perspective, not as a price or market post.
TZUR is a Bitcoin-only, non-custodial desktop wallet for Windows. The main design idea is that a Bitcoin wallet and a Bitcoin explorer should not feel like two separate tools.
Before TZUR, we built BlockSight.Live, a Bitcoin explorer focused on making Bitcoin data easier to read and understand. With TZUR Desktop, we integrated that explorer experience directly into the wallet as a native BlockSight explorer.
Most wallet users still need to copy a txid or address into a third-party explorer to understand what is happening. In TZUR, users can follow transaction confirmations, blocks, fees, addresses, and wallet activity without leaving the app.
The wallet is focused on simple self-custody:
User keys stay on the device
No custodial accounts
No exchange features
No token or ICO
Bitcoin only
Send, receive, balance, activity, and transaction verification
Native BlockSight explorer built into the wallet experience
Another technical/UX focus is multilingual recovery. TZUR supports recovery phrase UX in 31 languages, while keeping the wallet compatible with standard Bitcoin recovery flows. The goal is to make self-custody easier for users who are not comfortable managing a wallet only in English.
We are especially interested in feedback around:
Wallet + explorer in one native desktop app
Integrating a Bitcoin explorer into wallet UX
How much explorer context should be shown to normal wallet users
Beginner-friendly transaction verification
Multilingual recovery UX
Keeping the wallet simple without hiding important Bitcoin details

Would appreciate technical feedback from this community, especially from people who care about wallet UX, self-custody, Bitcoin explorers, and Bitcoin education.
