Before you choose
Requirements & limits
The README lists Android 7 or later, iOS 13 or later, and Java 11 or 17 for Linux and macOS. Mobile store routes, desktop releases, Android APK releases, and platform-specific build instructions are provided by the project.
- Choose it for Ergo-specific wallet operations rather than a general multi-ecosystem wallet.
- Its lightweight-client design is relevant when a full sync is not desired.
- Read-only wallets support monitoring and transaction preparation without entering secrets.
- QR-code payments, shared payment links, ErgoPay, and ErgoAuth shape the payment workflow.
- Desktop use requires Java 11 or 17.
