Storing $ERG on Desktop
Ergo Node: Simplified with this install guide
- The Ergo Node is part of Ergo’s peer-to-peer network which hosts and synchronizes a copy of the entire Ergo blockchain.
- There is no financial incentive to run a node, but doing so helps increase the security of the network.
- Certain options are only available to full-node runners, like being an Oracle pool provider & running the Spectrum.DEX backend bots.
Satergo Comparable to Daedalus for Cardano
- (desktop application/program) with embedded node functionalities, great wallet that’s rising in use and popularity, full nodes help network decentralization and survivability
- SECURE, INDEPENDENT, INVALUABLE: The only wallet with support for running a full node- Either contribute to the Ergo network or use a remote node, your choice!
SAFEW Safe and Fast Ergo Wallet; pronounced “Say- Few”
- (desktop browser extension) with built-in tools like ErgoMixer access: interact with ErgoMixer directly from the wallet, transaction builder, token minter, etc. (most underhyped Ergo wallet IMO)
- UI isn’t as clean/ modern as some others but the extra functionalities are very much worth it, in my opinion.
Nautilus Ergo Privacy Wallet by Captain Nemo
- (desktop browser extension) simple & lightweight Ergo wallet with dApp connector:, great choice very popular, has privacy mode-- every transaction creates a new address. Provides a smooth user experience, additional functionalities are being added/refined regularly.
Terminus Wallet -Ergo (backed by Ergo Foundation)
New name for iOS version of Ergo wallet by MrStahlfelge -Github
- Has a desktop version in beta, iOS version now available on App store (no more Test-Flight! yay!) , and Android version in Play Store that is still named Ergo Wallet or Ergo Mobile Wallet.
- Introduced the game-changing feature- ErgoPay- which uses QR codes for transaction signing AND can also be used as an Ergo cold wallet (as an alternative to Ledger), meaning you can repurpose an old, factory-reset Android into a secure Ergo Cold wallet that is never exposed to the internet= so AWESOME!!
Multi-Platform Wallets
The Zelcore wallet
- Now supports Ergo as a Flux “parallel asset”, this opens Ergo to a cross-chain resources, tools, communities, liquidity (and potentially risks?) in ways that Ergo has never seen before. Very exciting development and partnership for both Ergo and FLUX! Note: there are two types of ERG on this wallet. ERG which is the the native token of the Ergo blockchain, and “FLUX-ERG” which is Flux’s tokenized version of ERG.
NOTE: I’m going to keep updating this with links and some additional comments/info. I’m just needing to go to bed now-but want to help you with this info, even if it isn’t completely polished yet.
