snax-voter - Block Producer Voting & Wallet for Snax blockchain

snax-voter is a limited-functionality release of a light wallet being designed for the Snax blockchain. This application can be used to connect to a remote Snax API endpoint to perform producer voting actions and a few basic wallet commands.

If you don't need any advanced options, we recommend to use Snax extension for Chrome instead of this wallet.

Features

  • Block Producer Voting: Select which block producers to support and cast your vote. Please note that the block producer voting UI is not a research tool; it is a simple interface that provides a secure way to vote.
  • Token Transfers: Transfer Snax or any other token you may have a balance for to another user or exchanges.
  • CPU/Bandwidth Staking: Stake your Snax as either Bandwidth or CPU. This grants rights to resource usage on the network, in addition to conveying weight while voting for block producers.
  • Local Wallet: Set a password while importing your private key to create a local wallet. Your key will be encrypted locally using this password. This password will be required each time you need to unlock the wallet.
  • Temporary Usage: If you prefer not to store your keys within the application, simply choose not to set a password. When the application quits, your key will be forgotten.

Installation

Download the latest release for your OS from https://github.com/SnaxFoundation/snax-voter/releases

To determine which file you need, if you are:

  • MacOS User: Download either dmg (snax-voter-***.dmg) file
  • Windows User: Download exe (snax-voter-***.exe) file
  • Linux User: Download either deb (snax-voter-***-_amd64.deb) file or AppImage (linux-snax-voter-***-x86_64.AppImage) file

Advanced

Security: Private Keys

When using snax-voter, all transactions are signed within the application and your key is never transmitted. If a local wallet password is specified, the application will also save and encrypt your key for future use, using AES-256 encryption. The current password/key encryption scheme can currently be found here.

Endpoints

We offer a public list of nodes within this repository for use with this application:

https://github.com/SnaxFoundation/snax-voter/blob/master/nodes.md

This list will be updated over time and can be referenced from within the initial connection screen in the app.

Build it yourself

If you'd rather build the application yourself, please ensure you have nodejs/npm/yarn already installed locally.

Note: If you are configuring this Electron application within a Windows development environment, it will involve additional steps.

git clone https://github.com/SnaxFoundation/snax-voter.git snax-voter
cd snax-voter
npm install
cd app
npm install
cd ..

Then, depending on what OS you use, either:

  • MacOS: npm run package-mac
  • Linux: npm run package-linux
  • Windows: npm run package-win

If you are building a binary, it must be compiled from the target OS. Windows builds need to be built on Windows, etc.

The files built will be located in the releases folder within the root project folder.

Running development mode

git clone https://github.com/SnaxFoundation/snax-voter.git snax-voter
cd snax-voter
npm install
cd app
npm install
cd ..
npm run dev
