Wallet features on desktop

The desktop wallet packages the Grape experience with a protected signing environment and supported local-node functionality. A locally stored key does not make every wallet feature available offline. Live balances, broadcasting, Circle, Daxly, and remote services require the appropriate network connection.

Use the current download area in the official wallet or Grape website. Verify that the release is intended for your operating system, processor, and Grape network before opening it.

Platform differences

The reviewed mainnet launch configuration supports local-node builds for Apple Silicon macOS and Linux x64. Windows x64 is wallet-only in that configuration. Download availability and packaging can change, so follow the release information beside the installer.

A local full node first synchronizes and verifies history. It does not become a validator simply by starting. Disk, memory, connectivity, and synchronization progress affect the experience.

Starting safely

  1. Install from an official Grape link and keep a recovery copy of your account.
  2. Confirm mainnet identity and choose the supported local-node mode.
  3. Allow synchronization to complete and inspect health.
  4. For validator participation, follow the separate enrollment and bonding requirements.

Do not copy consensus signing keys between simultaneously running validators. Follow the release’s key and recovery guidance.
