- Easily setup & control your Edge host with a GUI (Graphical User Interface).
- Improve your security. By design, the GUI has no access to your XE wallet.
- Autolaunch your node. Can also launch minimized for a seamless experience.
- Get notified when you receive node earnings or when your node is offline.
- Cross-platform. Windows 7+, Mac 10.15+, and experimental Linux support.
- Helpful error messages.
- Fast & small program.
Q: My installer says the app/developer is unrecognized. "Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognised app from starting."
A: This is expected because the Edge Staking GUI is a new program and does not yet have code signing. To continue on Microsoft Defender Smartscreen, click on "More info -> Run anyway". On MacOS you might also need to explicitly choose to trust the unidentified developer.
Q: How does the GUI improve security?
A: The GUI improves security compared to the traditional approach by implementing the device token staking method. The major benefit of this method is that the GUI has no access to your wallet. Furthermore, the official Edge software is used under the hood and the software is open source.
Q: How can I switch networks?
A: Network switching is an advanced feature.
-
If a stake is already setup, first click the button
Back To Setup. -
Stop the program (make sure it does not run minimized).
-
Then change your config.txt to:
network = 'testnet'ornetwork = 'mainnet' -
Restart the program & follow the steps in the GUI.
Q: Help I am stuck. Where can I get support?
A: On the Edge Discord: https://ed.ge/discord.
- Tauri framework for Cross-OS Desktop App.
- Frontend -> Vue with Vite.
- Backend -> Rust.
The program was designed to be low maintenance & keep working in the future. It heavily relies on the official Edge cli & xe-utils. I consider the GUI feature-complete. The core functionality works without extra frills.
Prerequisites: https://tauri.app/v1/guides/getting-started/prerequisites
Development & build commands can be found in the Makefile.
You can switch your network by clicking on "Network" in the bottom-right of the GUI.
Logs can be found in:
Windows = C:\Users{YourUserName}\AppData\Local\EdgeStakingGUI
MacOS: Resolves to $HOME/Library/Application Support.
Linux = $XDG_DATA_HOME or $HOME/.local/share.
On Linux, depending on your distribution, you need several libraries:
- Reqwest requirements: https://github.com/seanmonstar/reqwest#requirements
- Tauri requirements: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/blob/dev/README.md#get-started
