Community Monero Light-Wallet Server
Welcome to this community-operated Monero light-wallet service (LWS). Connect a compatible wallet to get instant access to your Monero funds from anywhere in the world. No full node required, no blockchain sync, no waiting.
Privacy and Trust
By using this service you are sharing your secret view key with the server operator. This means the operator can see your incoming transactions, amounts, and when they occur. The operator cannot spend your funds. Only the secret spend key (which is never shared) can do that.
Make sure this trade-off fits your threat model before registering. If you need full privacy, run your own node or your own LWS instance instead.
Getting Started
- View the Important Notes
- Download Skylight Wallet or any LWS compatible wallet and set the server URL to this LWS server (see below).
- Create a new wallet in Skylight. The server will see the connection but will not begin scanning until you complete registration.
- Come back here and register your wallet with the same public address and private view key. The server will automatically activate scanning for you.
Connection URLs
Use one of the URLs below in your wallet's server/daemon settings.
Tor (recommended)
For the best privacy, connect over Tor. When you use the .onion address, your connection is fully anonymous. The server operator cannot see your IP address or identify who is using the service. Skylight supports Tor natively, just paste this URL.
http://ocrmu6th3dypifmmwwlnwkv2rbjmqgqdmry3cwc7ppdvzdq26qejz4qd.onion:8080
Scan or copy the .onion URL above into your wallet.
Clearnet (direct)
If you cannot use Tor, you can connect directly. Note that when using the clearnet URL, the server operator can see your source IP address. If this is a concern for your threat model, use the Tor address above instead.

Important Notes
- New wallets only. This server scans from the current block height forward. Restoring wallets from older blocks is not supported. If you have an existing wallet with prior transaction history, you will need to restore it elsewhere.
- Registration is required. You must register through this site for your wallet to be actively scanned. Simply connecting a light-wallet client is not enough.
- Burner emails are fine. It's only there just in case some correspondence is needed, I have no intention of ever emailing you, but if you needed something I would need to verify you.
- Your view key is stored on this server. The LWS daemon needs your secret view key to scan for incoming transactions on your behalf. Your spend key is never needed and should never be shared.
