Skylight Wallet for Monero

Skylight Wallet is free and open-source, and you have full custody of your funds. It is more efficient than other wallets that perform transaction scanning on the device. Skylight Wallet protects your privacy and is developed by a public charity.

Unlike most Monero wallets, Skylight Wallet offloads wallet scanning from your device to a light-wallet server. This server uses your private view key to detect related transactions, and it only sends you those transactions. This process is efficient, but it grants the server operator knowledge of your transactions. This is not an issue if the server is run by you or a trusted friend or family member, but you should not give your private view key to an untrusted server.

It's pretty simple! You need a computer with at least 100 GB of SSD storage. You need to run both monerod and monero-lws. Check out this guide on how to set it up on TrueNAS, or any of the guides in the Monero LWS documentation.

Mostly, with three exceptions: 1. if you connect to a LWS with Tor disabled, 2. if you perform an OpenAlias lookup, or 3. if you manually turn off Tor in settings. OpenAlias lookups are currently done with the monero_c library. Your connections to block explorers and to the fiat API are automatically protected with Tor (using Arti). You can optionally use the existing Tor instance running on your system, such as Orbot.

Skylight Wallet is available for Android (Google Play, F-Droid and GitHub APK), iOS and MacOS (App Store), Linux, and Windows.

We don't. There is currently no monetization feature. Please consider making a donation (which may qualify for a tax deduction) on our campaign website.

Yes! But Monero LWS does not support subaddresses by default, so you need to configure LWS to support subaddresses. If you do, then Skylight Wallet will automatically show you a fresh, unused subaddress each time. If your server does not support subaddresses or you exceed the server's limits, Skylight Wallet will let you know in the receive screen.

No, only one wallet is supported.

Mostly. Monero will always be a major focus of Skylight Wallet. While we don't intend to make a general multi-currency wallet, we intend to support decentralized exchanges that support Monero, and these decentralized exchanges may have their own tokens. In short, we aim to be a "Monero first" wallet, but not necessarily a "Monero only" wallet.

Yes.

Skylight Wallet is partially built on other open-source software. Notably, Skylight Wallet uses Cake Wallet's monero_c library, vtnerd's lwsf library, and Cypher Stack's Arti/Tor library. Our code is open-source, so anyone can further improve on what we have made as well!
