# Chivo wallet and ATM

The Chivo wallet is the official Bitcoin wallet of El Salvador. It is available for both Android and iOS devices. The wallet is integrated with the Chivo ATM network, which allows users to withdraw and deposit cash at any of the 200+ ATMs located throughout the country. The wallet also supports Lightning payments (but not shows that by default), which allows users to send and receive Bitcoin instantly and with low fees.

## Receive on Lightning with Chivo

* To receive on Lightning tap `Recibir Bitcoin via Lightning` and show the QRcode to the payer.

## Chivo ATM

* If you have a Chivo wallet you can withdraw cash from the ATM free of charge
* To use the ATM free of charge with your funds in the Blink wallet use Lightning to transfer your funds to the Chivo wallet and withdraw from the ATM

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://faq.blink.sv/blink-and-other-wallets/chivo.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
