Get answers to common questions about using DCR Wallet and participating in the Decred ecosystem.
Staking in DCR Wallet involves purchasing tickets that give you the right to vote on blocks and governance proposals. Each ticket costs the current ticket price (fluctuates based on demand) and requires a lock-up period. When your ticket is called to vote, you receive the staking reward. The current staking reward is approximately 6.29% APR. You can purchase tickets directly through the wallet interface, and the wallet will automatically manage the voting process when your tickets are called.
Decrediton is the full desktop wallet that downloads the entire blockchain and offers complete functionality including advanced staking features and full governance participation. The mobile DCR Wallet is a lightweight SPV wallet that syncs quickly and provides core functionality like sending/receiving DCR and basic staking, but with a more streamlined interface optimized for mobile use. Both wallets are non-custodial and support the same seed phrase for easy recovery across devices.
Yes, the mobile DCR Wallet allows you to participate in basic governance functions including viewing proposals and voting if you have staked tickets. However, for full governance participation including purchasing tickets and advanced voting features, the desktop Decrediton wallet is recommended. The mobile wallet is perfect for everyday transactions and monitoring your staking activity while on the go.
Yes, all Decred software including DCR Wallet is fully open source. The code is available on GitHub and undergoes regular security audits. The open-source nature ensures transparency, allows community review, and enables developers to verify the security and functionality of the wallet. This aligns with Decred's philosophy of decentralization and community-driven development.
Your 33-word seed phrase is the only way to restore access to your wallet and funds. If you lose both your device and recovery phrase, your DCR will be permanently inaccessible. We strongly recommend storing multiple copies of your seed phrase in secure, separate locations. DCR Wallet cannot recover your funds if you lose access, as we don't store any of your personal information or private keys.
The SPV (Simplified Payment Verification) mode in the mobile wallet is highly secure. While it doesn't download the entire blockchain, it verifies transactions using Merkle proofs and connects to multiple full nodes to ensure data integrity. The wallet uses bloom filters to maintain privacy and only reveals necessary information to the connected nodes. For maximum security, you can run your own full node and connect your mobile wallet to it, though this requires technical setup.
DCR Wallet is more than just a cryptocurrency wallet - it's your gateway to participating in one of the most advanced decentralized governance systems in the blockchain space. With built-in staking, governance features, and enterprise-grade security, you have everything needed to actively participate in the Decred ecosystem.
Whether you're looking to securely store DCR, earn staking rewards, or help shape the future of decentralized currency through governance, DCR Wallet provides the perfect balance of security, functionality, and user experience. Download today and experience why Decred is built differently.
