Unlike desktop wallets, the mobile wallets do not download and validate the

entire Decred blockchain.

Instead, they run using [SPV mode](spv.md), which drastically decreases the use

### Architecture and Privacy Considerations
15+
Mobile wallets do not download and validate the entire Decred blockchain like desktop wallets. Instead, they use lightweight methods to minimize system resource usage and data consumption:
16+
17+
Cake Wallet uses SPV (Simplified Payment Verification) mode for Decred, which connects directly to the blockchain network and validates block headers. This provides better privacy and decentralization compared to server-based architectures, making Cake Wallet the preferred option for mobile users. Cake Wallet is also maintained by Decred developers via Politeia proposal.
18+
19+
Exodus and Trust Wallet use RPC (Remote Procedure Call) connections to remote servers/nodes to retrieve blockchain data. While convenient, this approach relies on third-party infrastructure and may have different privacy characteristics.
20+
21+
### Proof-of-Stake and Privacy Participation
22+
23+
Mobile wallets do not support Proof-of-Stake participation (ticket buying and voting) or privacy mixing. If you want to mix, participate in Decred's PoS consensus system and earn staking rewards, please use a desktop wallet instead.
