Anchor Wallet by Greymass
Anchor is a free, open-source wallet for Vaulta (formerly EOS) and other Antelope blockchains, made by Greymass. It manages accounts and keys, signs transactions for dApps, and handles Vaulta resources, staking, and voting. Anchor now runs in the browser as well as on desktop and mobile, and its home has moved from greymass.com to anchorwallet.io.
What it is
Anchor is one of the most widely used wallets in the Antelope ecosystem. It is non-custodial: keys are created and stored on your device, encrypted locally, and Greymass does not hold them. Many Vaulta dApps, including Greymass's own web wallet Unicove, support Anchor for sign-in and transaction signing through WharfKit, the Greymass developer toolkit.
Anchor comes in three forms:
- Browser: runs at vaulta.anchorwallet.io with nothing to install. It supports Vaulta and the Jungle4 testnet, and offers free Vaulta account creation after signing in with Google or Apple, with the network covering the account fee.
- Desktop: Windows, macOS, and Linux. Version 1.4.0, released in September 2026, was the first desktop update since 2023. It added a native Apple silicon build and restored Ledger support. macOS 12 or later is required.
- Mobile: iPhone and Android apps. The mobile wallet creates and holds its own accounts on the phone.
Key features
- Multiple networks: Vaulta, WAX, Telos, XPR, FIO, Libre, and the Jungle4 testnet. The browser version covers Vaulta and Jungle4 only.
- Multiple accounts: manage several accounts and permissions from one wallet.
- Tokens: send and receive A, the Vaulta token, and other tokens on supported chains.
- Resources: manage RAM, CPU, and NET, including PowerUp. Greymass also provides a small free CPU allowance on supported networks to help new accounts transact.
- Staking and voting: stake, vote for block producers, or delegate your vote to a proxy.
- dApp sign-in: connect to Vaulta apps and approve each transaction with a readable summary.
- Ledger: use a Ledger hardware wallet with the browser version (Chrome, Edge, or Brave) on Vaulta and Jungle4, or with the desktop app on all supported networks.
Security
- Local key storage: private keys are encrypted on your device and never sent to Greymass.
- Hardware wallet support: keeping keys on a Ledger means transactions must be approved on the device. You need the EOS app on the Ledger with contract data enabled, and Ledger Wallet (formerly Ledger Live) closed while signing.
- Open source: the desktop code is public on GitHub.
- Back up your keys: write down the owner and active keys or recovery material offline. If you lose them, Greymass cannot recover your account.
- Download only from official sources: anchorwallet.io, the official app stores, or the Greymass GitHub. Fake Anchor downloads and phishing sites have targeted users in the past.
How to get started on Vaulta
- Go to anchorwallet.io and pick the browser, desktop, or mobile version.
- Create a new Vaulta account, or import an existing account with its private key.
- Set a strong password and back up your keys offline.
- Check your CPU, NET, and RAM, and use PowerUp if you need more CPU for transactions.
- Connect to Vaulta dApps by choosing Anchor at sign-in, and review every transaction before approving it.
If you still hold EOS on the legacy token contract, you can swap it 1:1 for A through the core.vaulta contract, for example on Unicove.
