Lichen

Lichen is an Ethereum utility that runs locally on your desktop with a focus on privacy and security.


Features

  • Account wallet credentials are stored encrypted and decrypted only when Lichen is in use and unlocked by the account key.

  • Lookup other addresses if multiple were created.

  • Soon to be cross-platform.

  • Works as an auto-signer if unlocked for other desktop app integrations.

Install from .deb file release

Steps to install

  • Download the deb file from the latest release.

https://github.com/B3nac/Lichen/releases

  • Run the install command.

sudo dpkg -i lichen-release

  • Start Lichen from /usr/bin/Lichen or from Lichen app shortcut via the Show Applications menu.

Setup from source

Dependencies for Ubuntu 20.04.

sudo apt install build-essential git pkg-config python3-dev python3-venv libgirepository1.0-dev libcairo2-dev gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 libcanberra-gtk3-module

I highly recommended creating a virtual environment to avoid dependency conflicts.

python3 -m venv envname

Once the venv is created source it in order to install the dependencies to that environment.

source path/to/envname/bin/activate

Install briefcase and required dependencies.

pip install briefcase Flask web3 cryptography Flask-WTF toga

Build and run the app.

briefcase run


Customize default settings

You can customize the default network and ethereum account with a config.ini file. If you don't have a config.ini file LichenWallet will use the first public address created as the default address.

Example config.ini file:

[DEFAULT]
network = your_main_node_url
default_address = your_public_ethereum_address
ens_mainnet_node = your_mainnet_node_url
logs = false
