Practical overview
When it fits
Use Yoroi Wallet when the required experience is a Cardano-focused wallet in a supported browser extension, or when a developer needs an open-source frontend starting point for Cardano wallet work.
Who it is for
- Cardano users seeking a browser-extension wallet interface for ADA.
- Developers building, studying, or adapting a Cardano wallet frontend.
- Teams prototyping browser-based Cardano asset-management functionality.
Documented uses
- Use a browser extension interface for Cardano ADA wallet activity.
- Develop or modify a Cardano wallet extension frontend.
- Start a Cardano asset-management interface from an existing JavaScript and React codebase.
- Prepare the repository for project-specific development.
Requirements & limits
The repository links to Chrome and Edge distribution listings. Its mobile counterpart is identified as a separate Yoroi Mobile project.
- The implementation is a browser extension frontend rather than the separately referenced mobile project.
- The repository is written in JavaScript and identifies React among its technologies.
- Repository-level setup requires a Node.js version matching .nvmrc and npm dependency installation.
- The code is publicly available under the MIT license.
- Individual packages may have setup requirements beyond the repository-level instructions.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up the Yoroi frontend repository
Prepare the multi-project repository for further project-specific development.
Before you start
- A local copy of the public repository.
- nvm, or Node.js matching the version specified in the repository’s .nvmrc file.
- npm.
Steps
Use nvm to select the repository’s specified Node.js version, or install a matching Node.js version manually.
Run npm install to install project-independent dependencies.
Review the packages folder and the project-specific setup instructions before continuing.
Expected outcome
The repository-level dependencies are installed and the relevant package can be selected for its own setup process.
Guide limitations
- The repository instructions do not establish that the application has been built, run, or deployed.
- Each project in the multi-project repository may require additional setup steps.
