Anchor — greymass

Anchor is an open-source desktop wallet application for Antelope-based blockchains. It provides interfaces for token transfers, resource management and governance, stores private keys locally with AES-256 encryption, optionally integrates with Ledger hardware wallets, and supports external-application signing through the EOSIO Signing Request protocol.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use Anchor when desktop access to Antelope account functions, locally encrypted key storage, Ledger integration or EOSIO Signing Request support is more relevant than a browser-only wallet workflow.

Who it is for

  • Antelope account holders managing transfers, resources or governance actions.
  • Users seeking locally encrypted private-key storage on a desktop wallet.
  • Users who want optional Ledger hardware-wallet signing.
  • Developers and applications that need an EOSIO Signing Request transaction-signing flow.

Documented uses

  • Manage Antelope account token transfers.
  • Review or manage blockchain resources.
  • Carry out supported governance actions.
  • Store private keys locally in encrypted form.
  • Sign Antelope transactions from compatible external applications.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project documents Windows, macOS and Linux desktop packages. It is open source under the MIT license. The cited material does not provide account, pricing or service-availability requirements.

  • Choose the desktop package matching Windows, macOS or Linux.
  • Use the documented download locations or the repository releases page when obtaining a release.
  • Ledger support is optional rather than required for the wallet's general use.
  • Source builds require Node.js, npm and Yarn, with platform-specific packaging.
  • Additional Antelope network support is described as Likely compatible, but no implementation procedure is supplied.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Build Anchor from source for your desktop operating system

Prepare and package the Anchor desktop application from the public repository.

Before you start

  • A local installation of Node.js, npm and Yarn.
  • The operating system on which the target binary will be built.
  • The Anchor Git repository.

Steps

  1. Clone the repository and enter its directory.

  2. Select the documented Node version and install the root and app dependencies with Yarn.

  3. Run the packaging command for macOS, Linux or Windows.

  4. Retrieve the resulting files from the project's releases folder.

Expected outcome

A platform-specific Anchor build is placed in the project's releases folder.

Guide limitations

  • The documented process requires building on the operating system targeted for the binary.
  • Windows development environments involve additional steps.
  • The cited instructions document packaging, not wallet use or transaction execution.
