Use Ergo Wallet App on desktop

Ergo Wallet app releases contain jar artifacts to be used on the common desktop operating systems.

Download and run them with Java 11 or Java 17:

java -jar <jar name> <optional command line arguments>

For Windows, there is also an msi setup package provided - you don't need to install Java.

If you need to download a Java version, we recommend an Adoptium JRE 11 or 17.

Command line arguments

  • --testnet runs testnet version
  • --language=<lang> uses the given language for the interface, if available
  • --debug prints out debug information
  • ergopay://... performs ErgoPay singing request
  • ergo:.. performs ergo payment request
  • ergoauth://... performs ErgoAuth action

Know your assumptions

Please note the following about securing your data:

  • Ergo Wallet App for Desktop will encrypt your mnemonic with an AES256 algorithm. Please give a password of at least 12, better 24 characters for best security.
  • Besides the mnemonic, wallet app stores your set up P2PK addresses, balances and other data it displays. This non-confidential data is not encrypted. If you want to secure this data against third parties, please enable a disk encryption on operating system level.
  • Most operating systems do not protect applications against threats like screen grabbers, key grabbers, memory inspection etc. etc. We strongly recommend that you hold the secrets needed to access your funds:
    • on mobile devices (as iOS and Android separate application processes and their data completely),
    • on offline devices,
    • or on secure desktop operating systems like Qubes OS.
