Access your Monero wallet

Create a new wallet, restore from seed phrase, or import a private key. Everything runs locally in your browser.

Advanced · use your own Monero node

Point the wallet at a Monero node you control. The view key is sent to this node for balance scanning — leave it at the default (monero-web proxy) unless you're running your own monerod.

100% client-side. Your seed phrase is processed locally and never transmitted anywhere. Check the source code on GitHub.

100% client-side. Your private key never leaves this device.

Watch-only mode. The view key lets you scan for incoming payments but cannot spend them. You won't be able to send transactions or generate subaddresses without the spend key.

This creates a brand new Monero wallet. A 25-word seed phrase will be generated using your browser's cryptographic random number generator. Write it down and store it safely — it's the only way to recover your wallet.

Common questions

Do my seed words ever leave my browser?

No. Your seed is processed entirely in this tab — keys are derived locally in JavaScript and WebAssembly, and your spend key never leaves your browser. To show balances, the light-wallet server (monero-lws) does receive your view key so it can scan the blockchain for transactions to your address; a view key can see a balance but can never spend it. You can confirm exactly what is sent in DevTools → Network.

Which seed formats can I use?

Four: BIP-39 (12 or 24 words), MyMonero's 13-word seed, Polyseed (16 words), and Monero's standard 25-word seed. The format is detected automatically as you type, and a badge shows which one was recognised.

Can I open my old MyMonero wallet here?

Yes. Enter your MyMonero 13-word seed and it derives the same address and keys MyMonero gave you. This uses the same light-wallet architecture MyMonero ran for over a decade — the difference is that the entire stack here is open source and self-hostable.

What is the restore height, and does it matter?

It is the block number where scanning starts. Setting it near when the wallet was created lets the server skip millions of irrelevant blocks, so your balance appears far sooner. If you are unsure, guess earlier rather than later — too low is only slower, never lossy.

What is the difference between a view key and a spend key?

The view key lets software see incoming transactions to your address. The spend key is what authorises sending. The watch-only option uses the view key alone, so you can monitor a wallet from a machine that is incapable of spending from it.

Do I need to install or sign up for anything?

No. There is nothing to download, no browser extension, and no account. Any modern browser with SubtleCrypto and BigInt works — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Brave, Edge and Tor Browser included.
