Axe Core Wallet¶

Axe Core Wallet is the full official release of Axe, and supports all Axe features as they are released, including InstantSend and PrivateSend, as well as an RPC console and governance features. Axe Core Wallet (sometimes known as the QT wallet, due to the QT software framework used in development) is a professional or heavy wallet which downloads the full blockchain (several GB in size) and can operate as both a full node or masternode on the network. Because of the requirement to hold a full copy of the blockchain, some time is required for synchronisation when starting the wallet. Once this is done, the correct balances will be displayed and the functions in the wallet can be used. Axe Core Wallet is available for macOS, Linux, Raspberry Pi and Windows.

Features:

• PrivateSend
• InstandSend
• Wallet encryption
• Coin control and fee control
• QR code generation and address book
• Masternode commands and voting
• Automated backup
• Debug console

Axe Electrum Wallet¶

Axe Electrum is a light wallet which uses powerful external servers to index the blockchain, while still securing the keys on your personal computer. Transactions are verified on the Axe blockchain using a technique called Secure Payment Verification (SPV), which only requires the block headers and not the full block. This means that wallet startup is almost instant, while still keeping your funds secure and mobile. It does not currently support advanced InstantSend and PrivateSend features.

Axe Electrum is a fork of the Electrum wallet for Bitcoin. While this documentation focuses on using Axe Electrum, full documentation of all Bitcoin Electrum features (mostly identical in Axe Electrum) is available at the official documentation site.

Hardware Wallets¶

A hardware wallet is a type of device which stores private keys for a blockchain in a secure hardware device, instead of in a database file such as wallet.dat used with common software wallets. This offers major security advantages over software wallets, as well as practical benefits over paper wallets. To date, there is no verifiable evidence of hardware wallets being compromised by viruses, and they are also immune to keylogger attacks that could be used to steal passwords to unlock the private keys used with software wallets.

Hardware wallets function by storing your private keys in a protected area of a microcontroller. It is impossible for the private key to leave the device in plain text - only the signed output of the cryptographic hash is ever transmitted to the device interacting with the blockchain, such as your computer or smartphone. Most hardware wallets feature a screen which allows you to independently confirm the address you are sending to is correct.

This section lists the most common commercial hardware wallets supporting Axe, although some other enthusiast projects may also be available.

Third Party Wallets¶

These wallets have been developed by external developers to support Axe. Many third party wallets support multiple different cryptocurrencies at the same time, or integrate instant cryptocurrency exchanges.

Edge Wallet

Web Wallets¶

Web wallets are services which keep a Axe balance for you, while maintaining control of the private keys on your behalf. Any Axe stored on exchanges falls under this category, but there are also some services able to store Axe for you through simple Google/Facebook login systems. Be extremely careful with web storage, as your Axe is only as secure as the reputation of the company storing it for you. A particular exception is MyAxeWallet.org, which provides a secure web interface to the Axe blockchain while leaving you with full control of your private keys.

Text Wallets¶

Text wallets (or SMS wallets) allow users without smartphones or internet access to transact in Axe using text messages on simple feature phones. Innovative shortcodes, usually in collaboration with national mobile service providers, make it relatively simple to create transactions to both send and receive Axe.
