MainNet xx Wallet Generation

A person holding a wallet

The MainNet wallet generator app walks you through the process of creating a quantum-ready wallet for use in the xx MainNet. It is important that you keep the wallet you generate private and secure, as you would any other cryptocurrency wallet.

There are two options available for generating the wallet:

  1. A user-friendly app with a graphical user interface (GUI) that walks you through the process with instructions and insight at each step. If you are new to cryptocurrency wallets, then we recommend this choice. This is currently open-sourced (view source).
  2. A command-line app with instructions but minimal additional context. This is currently open-sourced (view source).
