MAGIC Grants Releases Monero Light-Wallet App for Android

General News

MAGIC Grants announced today the release of their new, open-source Skylight Wallet app for Android, which will also be "available soon" for iOS and Desktop. Skylight Wallet is a Monero wallet which uses a Monero Light-Wallet Server (LWS) to detect your transactions, as opposed to traditional Monero wallets which require a lengthy synchronization period to scan the Monero blockchain to find your private transactions before you can use them.

To be honest, the number of times I have had to restore a wallet in Cake Wallet, only to have to leave the app open on my phone for hours or longer where I can’t do anything else or turn my phone off (poor/no background sync capabilities apparently) means I will for sure be using this when their iOS app is released :laughing:

Should I consider this post as promotional material, a recommendation, or just news?

I mean, it’s news and a FYI. But anyone can consider it anything. But since this is not officially listed in the recommendations section yet, I would simply consider this news.

Its just a bit odd considering MAGIC Grants and PGs relationship. Just wanted a clarification, that’s all. No harm meant :slight_smile:

No worries, sorry for coming off passive aggressive.

Since that is what this wallet requires you to do that is what I mean :slight_smile:

That is clarified in the article above.
