Web wallet

A browser-based wallet for Exfer is hosted by the community at:

https://exfer.dev

Use it when you want to send, receive, or check balances without installing a binary or running a node. Keys are generated and signed client-side in your browser; the page only sends signed transactions to public RPC nodes.

When to use the web wallet

  • You're trying Exfer for the first time and don't want to install anything.
  • You want to send a small payment from a machine where you can't or won't install the CLI.
  • You're showing someone the chain on a phone.

When not to use the web wallet

  • Large balances. Browser-based wallets share the host's threat surface (extensions, malicious sites, browser zero-days). For long-term storage, generate the wallet with the CLI on an offline machine and back up the encrypted .key file — see Create a wallet and Backup & recovery.
  • Operational integrations. Exchanges, payment processors, services with API consumers — build against the JSON-RPC API and your own node, not against a third-party web UI.

What lives at exfer.dev

The site is community-maintained; check the page itself for the current feature set. Common features for a chain like this:

  • Generate a new keypair locally
  • Import an existing key
  • View balance + transaction history
  • Send a payment (sign in-browser, broadcast via public RPC)

The CLI remains the authoritative tool — the web wallet is convenience on top.
