Resources
Download wallets, node software, and developer tools for the Shekyl network.
Active development on dev
Major work in progress — Rust wallet engines, BIP-39 recovery, LWMA-1 difficulty, and staking shard visualization — lands on the dev branch first. Stable releases, downloads, and the documentation browser here track main.
Shekyl GUI Wallet
Send, receive, mine, and stake — all from one app. No command-line required.

Node & CLI Tools
Run your own node, use the CLI wallet, or set up wallet RPC for integrations.

Wallet & Security Improvements
The wallet stack is being rebuilt for stronger safety and clearer recovery — without changing Shekyl's privacy-by-default promise.
- Wallet signing, refresh, and key handling move into Rust engines, replacing inherited C++ paths over time.
- BIP-39 mnemonic backup on mainnet and stagenet — the same 24-word standard used across the industry.
- Secrets are handled with modern wipe-on-drop discipline as engines land on the development branch.
Build From Source
Shekyl can be built natively on Linux, macOS, and Windows (MSYS2), with support paths for Raspberry Pi and BSD systems.
- Clone recursively:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Shekyl-Foundation/shekyl-core.git - Build default release:
make - Build static release:
make release-static - Install the Rust toolchain for PQC-enabled builds; wallet and consensus work on the development branch depends on it.
