What Is a Monero Web Wallet?

A Monero web wallet is a Monero wallet interface that runs in your browser so you can create, restore, and use a wallet without installing a full desktop app. In a non-custodial setup, your keys remain under your control.

How a Monero web wallet works

A Monero wallet does not hold coins directly. It holds keys used to detect and sign transactions on the Monero network. A web wallet connects to a node to scan blockchain data and broadcast signed transactions.

Monero web wallet vs other Monero wallet types

Desktop wallet: strongest control and best for long-term usage.

Mobile wallet: practical for daily payments.

Web wallet: fastest onboarding and good for users who need browser access.

Security basics for any Monero wallet

Back up your seed offline, verify domains, keep your browser and OS updated, and never share seed words. If you lose the seed, you lose wallet recovery.
