Daedalus - Cryptocurrency Wallet
Yarn is required to install npm
dependencies to build Daedalus.
Nix is needed to run Daedalus in nix-shell
.
- Install nix:
curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
(usesh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --darwin-use-unencrypted-nix-store-volume
on macOS Catalina) - Employ the signed IOHK binary cache:
and then add the following lines:
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/nix $ sudo vi /etc/nix/nix.conf # ..or any other editor, if you prefer
substituters = https://hydra.iohk.io https://cache.nixos.org/ trusted-substituters = trusted-public-keys = hydra.iohk.io:f/Ea+s+dFdN+3Y/G+FDgSq+a5NEWhJGzdjvKNGv0/EQ= cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY= max-jobs = 2 # run at most two builds at once cores = 0 # the builder will use all available CPU cores extra-sandbox-paths = /System/Library/Frameworks
- Run
nix-shell
with correct list of arguments or by using existingpackage.json
scripts to load a shell with all the correct versions of all the required dependencies for development.
-
Run
yarn nix:selfnode
fromdaedalus
. -
Run
yarn dev
from the subsequentnix-shell
(useKEEP_LOCAL_CLUSTER_RUNNING
environment variable to keep the local cluster running after Daedalus exits:KEEP_LOCAL_CLUSTER_RUNNING=true yarn dev
) -
Once Daedalus has started and has gotten past the loading screen run the following commands from a new terminal window if you wish to import funded wallets:
- Byron wallets:
yarn byron:wallet:importer
- Shelley wallets:
yarn shelley:wallet:importer
- Mary wallets:
yarn mary:wallet:importer
(all of which contain native tokens which are visible once selfnode enters Mary era) - Yoroi Byron wallets:
yarn yoroi:wallet:importer
- ITN Byron wallets:
yarn itn:byron:wallet:importer
[Deprecated] - ITN Shelley wallets:
yarn itn:shelley:wallet:importer
[Deprecated]
These scripts import 3 wallets by default. You can import up to 10 wallets by supplying
WALLET_COUNT
environment variable (e.g.WALLET_COUNT=10 yarn mary:wallet:importer
).List of all funded wallet recovery phrases can be found here: https://github.com/input-output-hk/daedalus/blob/develop/utils/api-importer/mnemonics.js
- Byron wallets:
Notes:
- Cardano wallet process ID shown on the "Diagnostics" screen is faked and expected to match the Cardano node process ID.
- Stake pool metadata is fetched directly by default (IOHK SMASH server option is not available).
- Token metadata is fetched from a mock token metadata server which is automatically ran alongside the local cluster (there is no need to run it manually)
- Daedalus will ask you if you wish to keep the local cluster running after it exits - this option is useful if you need to preserve local cluster state between Daedalus restarts.

Daedalus, by default, uses the following metadata server for all networks except for the mainnet: https://metadata.cardano-testnet.iohkdev.io/
.
It's also possible to use a mock server locally by running the following command in nix-shell
prior to starting Daedalus:
$ mock-token-metadata-server --port 65432 ./utils/cardano/native-tokens/registry.json
Mock metadata server running with url http://localhost:65432/
Then proceed to launch Daedalus and make sure to provide the mock token metadata server port:
$ MOCK_TOKEN_METADATA_SERVER_PORT=65432 yarn dev
This enables you to modify the metadata directly by modifying the registry file directly:
$ vi ./utils/cardano/native-tokens/registry.json # ..or any other editor, if you prefer
Use the following command to check if the mock server is working correctly:
$ curl -i -H "Content-type: application/json" --data '{"subjects":["789ef8ae89617f34c07f7f6a12e4d65146f958c0bc15a97b4ff169f1"],"properties":["name","description","ticker","unit","logo"]}'
http://localhost:65432/metadata/query
... and expect a "200 OK" response.

- Once Daedalus has started, and has gotten past the loading screen, run
yarn itn:shelley:wallet:importer
from a new terminal window. This is only required if you wish to import some funded wallets. It is also possible to import funded legacy wallets by runningyarn itn:byron:wallet:importer
script.

Niv
is used to manage the version of upstream dependencies. The versions of these dependencies can be seen in nix/sources.json
.
Dependencies are updated with the follow nix commands:
- Update cardano-wallet to the latest master:
nix-shell -A devops --arg nivOnly true --run "niv update cardano-wallet"
- Update cardano-wallet to a specific revision:
nix-shell -A devops --arg nivOnly true --run "niv update cardano-wallet -a rev=91db88f9195de49d4fb4299c68fc3f6de09856ab"
- Update cardano-node to a specific tag:
nix-shell -A devops --arg nivOnly true --run "niv update cardano-node -b tags/1.20.0"
- Update iohk-nix to the latest master:
nix-shell -A devops --arg nivOnly true --run "niv update iohk-nix -b master"
nix-shell
also provides a script for updating yarn.lock
file:
nix-shell -A fixYarnLock

If you use any 3rd party libraries which can't or won't be built with webpack, you must list them in your source/main/webpack.config.js
and/or source/renderer/webpack.config.js
:
externals: [
// put your node 3rd party libraries which can't be built with webpack here (mysql, mongodb, and so on..)
]
For a common example, to install Bootstrap, yarn install --save bootstrap
and link them in the head of app.html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css" />
<link rel="image/svg+xml" href="../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot" />
...
Make sure to list bootstrap in externals in webpack.config.base.js
or the app won't include them in the package:
externals: ['bootstrap']
You can find more details regarding tests setup within Running Daedalus acceptance tests README file.
Notes: Be aware that only a single Daedalus instance can run per state directory. So you have to exit any development instances before running tests!
$ yarn run package
To package apps for all platforms:
$ yarn run package:all
To package apps with options:
$ yarn run package -- --[option]
- --name, -n: Application name (default: Electron)
- --version, -v: Electron version (default: latest version)
- --asar, -a: asar support (default: false)
- --icon, -i: Application icon
- --all: pack for all platforms
Use electron-packager
to pack your app with --all
options for macOS, Linux and Windows platform. After build, you will find them in release
folder. Otherwise, you will only find one for your OS.
Platform-specific build scripts facilitate building Daedalus the way it is built by the IOHK CI:
This script requires Nix, (optionally) configured with the IOHK binary cache.
scripts/build-installer-unix.sh [OPTIONS..]
The result can be found at installers/csl-daedalus/daedalus-*.pkg
.
This batch file requires Node.js and 7zip.
scripts/build-installer-win64.bat
The result will can be found at .\daedalus-*.exe
.
This will use nix to build a Linux installer. Using the IOHK binary cache will speed things up.
nix build -f ./release.nix mainnet.installer
The result can be found at ./result/daedalus-*.bin
.
