Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The README directs users to the Lisk wallet page for desktop releases for macOS, Windows and Linux. It lists separate builds for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

  • The project is specific to Lisk rather than a general-purpose wallet interface.
  • The application uses React and Electron and the source repository is licensed GPL-3.0.
  • Contributor setup lists Node.js 16 and Python 2.7.18; these are development prerequisites, not stated end-user requirements.
  • The README references hardware-wallet development and Ledger guidance, but does not detail supported user workflows.

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