Practical overview
When it fits
Use Airgap Wallet when transaction preparation and network broadcasting need to remain on a connected smartphone while private-key signing takes place in the separate offline AirGap Vault.
Who it is for
- Crypto users seeking a self-custody workflow with private keys held in a separate offline Vault.
- Users who need mobile balance, transaction-history and transaction-broadcasting functions across multiple supported networks.
- Developers working with the public TypeScript repository and its Capacitor-based mobile projects.
Documented uses
- View account balances and transaction histories.
- Create transactions for supported currencies.
- Transfer unsigned transaction data to an offline Vault for signing.
- Receive signed transaction data and broadcast the transaction.
- Develop or modify the wallet from its public repository.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and specifies an MIT license. The project README links to Google Play and the App Store for the mobile applications.
- The air-gapped workflow depends on the separate AirGap Vault as the private-key and signing component.
- The Wallet handles public information and transaction broadcasting rather than storing the Vault’s secret data.
- QR codes provide the documented exchange method between Wallet and Vault when they run on separate devices.
- The codebase is shared across Android and iOS and includes a browser development mode.
- Network coverage is tied to the currencies supported by the application and its coin library.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up the Airgap Wallet development environment
Install the documented dependencies, run the wallet in a browser, and prepare its native iOS or Android project.
Before you start
- Node.js and npm are required by the npm-based setup commands.
- The repository source code and the Capacitor CLI are required.
- Xcode is needed for the documented iOS project workflow; Android Studio is needed for Android.
Steps
Install the Capacitor CLI with npm and install the project dependencies.
Run the documented start script to run the application locally in a browser.
Build the project and synchronize the native project with Capacitor.
Open the iOS project in Xcode or the Android project in Android Studio.
Expected outcome
A locally prepared browser build and synchronized native project for further development.
Guide limitations
- These steps document setup and project opening, not a completed mobile release or transaction workflow.
- The repository does not establish that every supported network or device configuration will work in a particular local environment.
