How to use this wallet

Getting Started

• Create New Wallet: Click "Create Wallet" to generate a new wallet with a secure private key
• Import Existing Wallet:
  • From backup file (.json): Restore from a previously exported wallet backup
  • From Alpha wallet.dat (EXPERIMENTAL): Import an unencrypted wallet.dat file from Alpha node. This feature is highly experimental and may not work with all wallet configurations. Always backup your wallet.dat before attempting import.
• Network Connection: The wallet automatically connects to the Unicity network when online. You can also manually connect/disconnect using the endpoint controls

Importing Wallets

• Standard Backup Import: Use the "Restore" button to import .json backup files created by this wallet. If the backup is encrypted, you'll need to enter the password.
• Alpha wallet.dat Import (EXPERIMENTAL):
  ⚠️ Important Notes:

  • Only unencrypted wallet.dat files are currently supported
  • Make a backup copy of your wallet.dat before attempting import
  • The import extracts the first valid private key found
  • This feature is experimental and may not work with all wallet types
  • To decrypt wallet.dat: use alpha-cli walletpassphrase "yourpassword" 600 then copy the wallet.dat

Security

• Encrypt Your Wallet: Click "Encrypt Wallet" and set a strong password. Write it down - there's no recovery if forgotten!
• Backup Regularly: Use "Backup Wallet" to save your encrypted wallet data. Store backups in multiple secure locations
• Offline Mode: For maximum security, download this page and use it on an offline computer

Receiving Funds

• Your address is displayed in the wallet section
• Click the QR code icon to show a scannable code
• Share your address or QR code with the sender
• When connected, balance updates automatically

Sending Funds

• Online Mode: Enter recipient address and amount, review fees, then click Send and broadcast directly
• Offline Mode (Cold Wallet) - Two Options:
  Option A: Prepare Transaction Online (Recommended)

  1. In watch-only mode, enter recipient address and amount, then click Send
  2. Export the transaction template (includes only required UTXOs)
  3. Transfer the template file to your offline computer
  4. Import the template - transaction details will auto-fill
  5. Review and sign the transaction offline
  6. Transfer back to online computer and broadcast using "Import & Broadcast"
  Option B: Prepare Transaction Offline

  1. Export UTXOs as JSON file at online computer using "Export UTXOs"
  2. Transfer the UTXO file to your offline computer
  3. Import UTXOs and create the transaction offline by setting the recipient address, amount, review fees
  4. At the offline computer, sign and export the transaction by clicking Send
  5. Transfer back to online computer and broadcast using "Import & Broadcast"

  Note on Cold Wallets: The wallet used to create and sign transactions should be stored only at an offline machine (cold wallet). The wallet state (UTXOs into the wallet's address) is read at the online machine in watch-only mode (we provide only public address at the online machine). The full wallet is at the isolated offline machine only. This is a very secure way of storing large funds, since it is not possible to access the offline machine, and thus hack it and spend the owner's funds. On the other hand, it takes more effort to follow this flow every time the owner needs to spend funds. That is why it is called a "Cold wallet". Note however, that we do not need the offline machine in order to receive funds to the cold wallet - it is just enough to inform the sender about the cold wallet's public address. This is absolutely safe to do.
