What's inside Neuron

  1. Overview of Neuron Wallet for Nervos CKB

    Neuron is an open-source wallet designed specifically for the Nervos CKB blockchain. It allows users to securely store and manage CKB assets, participate in Nervos Network governance, and create or manage CKB standard or lock scripts. The wallet requires no registration or login and does not collect personal data.

  2. Overview of Neuron Wallet capabilities

    Neuron is a desktop wallet developed by Magickbase for managing digital assets on the Nervos CKB chain. It includes built-in CKB nodes and a light client to facilitate asset transfers. Key capabilities include:

    • Digital Asset Storage: Securely store CKB, Fungible Tokens, and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).
    • Digital Asset Transfer: Send and receive assets via a simplified interface.
    • Nervos DAO Operations: Deposit and withdraw assets from the Nervos DAO smart contract, which is used to manage inflation within the CKB ecosystem.
    • Extensibility: Provides open interfaces and extensions for community developers to build additional tools and applications.

  3. Understand security responsibilities for Neuron Wallet

    Neuron is a decentralized, open-source wallet. It does not have access to user data, meaning the user has absolute privacy and control over their assets. Consequently, the user is solely responsible for the protection of their asset security, including the management of mnemonics and private keys.

  4. Use bundled CKB node in Neuron Wallet

    Neuron Wallet provides a bundled and preconfigured CKB node, eliminating the need for users to set up a separate node for basic wallet functionality. As of version 0.27.0, Neuron bundles CKB v0.27.0.

  5. Neuron v0.201.0 Feature Updates

    Neuron v0.201.0 introduces several new capabilities and fixes:

    • Support for UDT destruction.
    • Introduction of a new Multisig Script and support for Nervos DAO using this script.
    • Bundled and preconfigured CKB node v0.201.0 and CKB Light Client v0.4.1.
    • Validation change: Blocks before height 16,284,813 (hash 0x8d98cc0af11e54e7c66b10d188cea7bd1ec33acee624eb0fddd9bb6951cf720e) are skipped during validation.

  6. Verify bundled CKB node version in Neuron

    Neuron bundles a preconfigured CKB node. The specific version of the bundled CKB node can be verified in the About Neuron window.

  7. Use bundled CKB node in Neuron Wallet

    Starting from version 0.29.0-rc2, Neuron bundles and preconfigures CKB node v0.29.0, eliminating the need for separate node configuration for basic wallet operations.

  8. Understand CKB Node and Light Client integration in Neuron

    Neuron bundles and preconfigures both the CKB Node and CKB Light Client.

    Key Constraints:

    • CKB Light Client: Currently only activated on the testnet. In Neuron, only light testnet is enabled. Activation for the Mainnet is required before it can be used on the main network.

  9. Install Neuron Wallet

    Neuron is the official wallet for the CKB network. Depending on your operating system and architecture, download the appropriate package.

    System Requirements & Prerequisites:

    • Disk Space: The CKB full node data size is approximately 132.97G and grows over time. Ensure sufficient disk space, although the built-in light client node reduces the required data for synchronization.
    • Windows Requirement: The CKB node requires the Visual C++ Redistributable to be installed to prevent synchronization failure.

  10. Check for Neuron wallet updates

    Neuron provides a built-in interface to check for and download new versions. This can be accessed via the Settings (Preferences) -> General view.

  12. Connect Neuron to an external light client

    Neuron supports connecting to an external light client instead of using the bundled version, as introduced in version 0.117.0.
