5 min readJul 22, 2019

SERO Decentralized wallet on the PC has been launched. After configuring the IP and port of the whole node, you don't have to wait long-term block synchronization and you don't need to upload user information to create and manage accounts locally, send and receive transactions , call smart contracts, and buy PoS shares.

PullupWalletYou need to connect v1.0.0-rc2the whole node (Gero) version of the above and need to ensure full start node contains parameters --lightas well --rpcapi light.
Pullup wallet can only buy shares and register StakingNode, can not replace the full node to vote, so users who take Staking voting still need to download the full node wallet and synchronize the complete block data.

Make sure your system environment has Chrome installed, otherwise the Pullup wallet will not work.
