# Hoseki Prove

> Web statements via Hoseki Prove: verified statements of your self-custodied Bitcoin, in your browser.

[Hoseki Prove](https://prove.hoseki.app) lets you prove you control your self-custodied Bitcoin without moving it. You get a PDF statement of your holdings, like a bank statement for your own wallets.

## How it works

  A["Connect a wallet"] --> B["Sign a message<br/>on your device"]
  B --> C["Verified claim"]
  C --> D["Statement PDF"]
  C --> E["Share with a partner<br/>if they request it"]
```

1. **Connect a wallet.** Prove reads its public key. It never sees your private keys or seed phrase.
2. **Sign a message.** Your hardware wallet signs a short message. This proves you control the wallet. It does not move funds.
3. **Get a verified claim.** A claim is a wallet you've proven you control.
4. **Create a statement.** Pick claims and a date range. Download a PDF.

A partner, such as a lender or advisor, can also ask you for a statement or for ongoing access. You approve or reject each request.
