![Multiple wallet support](https://bitcoin.org/img/bitcoin-core/multi-wallet-support.svg?1693519667)

**Warning:** you only get the security and privacy benefits in supported lightweight wallets if they make a secure and private connection to your Bitcoin Core *every* time you use them. This usually requires special configuration.

### Lightweight Wallets Using Bitcoin Core <a href="#lightweight" id="lightweight"></a>

![Non-private connection](https://bitcoin.org/img/bitcoin-core/connection-types-p2p-spv.svg?1693519667)

Lightweight wallets usually connect to several random full nodes (like Bitcoin Core) to send and receive all of their data. In the process they [leak private data](https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/features/privacy#perfect-privacy-for-received-transactions) and make themselves more [vulnerable to attacks](https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/features/validation#how-validation-protects-your-bitcoins).

![Secure and private connection](https://bitcoin.org/img/bitcoin-core/connection-types-trusted-peer.svg?1693519667)

But it’s also possible to connect certain lightweight wallets solely to your own Bitcoin Core full node, called a trusted peer. If you do this with a secure and private connection every time you use that lightweight wallet, you’ll get most of the security and privacy benefits of a full node as well as [help protect decentralization](https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/features/validation#help-protect-decentralization).
