Wallet

It runs on your machine, not on this website.

There is no web wallet for Anima, and there is not going to be one. Any site that offers to hold your Anima keys, or asks you to type a seed phrase into a web page, is stealing from you. This page is documentation only — it cannot see your keys, because it never receives them.

The wallet is a small program you run yourself. It opens a page in your browser at 127.0.0.1, but that page is only a display: every signature is produced by the program on your machine, and your keyfile is never read by, sent to, or reachable from anything on the internet.

Getting it

Anima is source-available and builds on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Install Rust, then build the tools:

git clone <repository-url>
cd anima
cargo build --release

On Windows you can skip the command line: double-click OPEN-WALLET.cmd in the project folder, which builds the wallet if needed and opens it for you.

Creating a key

This writes a new keyfile. It is the only thing that controls your funds — there is no recovery, no reset, and nobody who can restore it for you. Back it up somewhere offline before you put anything of value behind it.

anima new-key mywallet.key

Using it

Either open the browser interface, which shows your balance, stake, and the minds you own:

anima wallet-ui mywallet.key

Or work directly from the command line:

anima status	What the network is currently doing
anima balance	Your balance, stake, and nonce
anima send <key> <to> <amount>	Transfer ANIMA
anima stake <key> <amount>	Bond stake to help secure the network
anima host <key> <cycles>	Keep a mind alive and be paid for each cycle
anima withdraw <key> <mind> <amount>	Take profit from a mind you own
anima sell <key> <mind> <buyer>	Transfer ownership of a mind
anima draw <key> <mind> <pattern>	Draw a discovery from the commons

Connecting to a node

The wallet talks to an Anima node. By default it uses a public endpoint, but you can point it at any node — including one you run yourself, which is the only way to be certain nobody is lying to you about your own balance:

anima --rpc 127.0.0.1:41100 balance

Keeping it safe

Your keyfile is the account. Copy it somewhere offline; if you lose it, the funds are gone permanently.
Nobody legitimate will ever ask for it — not a support account, not a giveaway, not this project.
Only trust addresses under animanetwork.io. Anything else claiming to be Anima is not.
Testnet coins are worth nothing on purpose, so practise there first.
