Desktop Wallet settings#

The Desktop Wallet has a number of settings such as password and node settings that you access by going to the Settings page.

Preferences#

The Desktop Wallet provides a set of multi-signature transactions called Foundation transactions that only members of the Concordium Foundation can sign.

These transactions are disabled by default, and if you’re not a member of the Concordium Foundation it is strongly recommended that you don’t enable them. If you do enable the transactions, they will be listed on the multi-signature transactions page. However, you’ll not be able to actually sign or submit any of these transactions.

Node settings#

Here you specify which node on the blockchain that you want to connect to.

If you’re running the mainnet version of the Desktop Wallet, you must connect to a mainnet node. In the Address field, enter 127.0.0.1 and in the Port field enter 20000.
If you’re running the testnet version of the Desktop Wallet, you must connect to a testnet node. In the Address field, enter 127.0.0.1 and in the Port field enter 20001.
Select Set connection. If the connection works, there’s a message saying Successfully connected.

You can run a node using Windows, macOS, and with Docker or a Debian package on Linux.
