DragonX (DRGX) Lite Desktop Wallet — v1.0.0
ObsidianDragonLite is a lightweight companion to the ObsidianDragon full-node wallet. It skips the embedded full node entirely — no multi-gigabyte blockchain download and near-instant startup — by connecting to a DragonX lite-wallet (lightwalletd-style) server, while keeping the same native ImGui interface and shielded-first workflow.
This is the first release of the Lite variant.
Why Lite?
- No blockchain to download. Sync in seconds instead of hours; a few MB of state instead of many GB.
- Same wallet, lighter footprint. The familiar ObsidianDragon UI, shielded and transparent addresses, and address book — without running a node or miner.
- Portable. A single self-contained binary that stores its data in its own
ObsidianDragonLitefolder, so it coexists cleanly alongside the full-node wallet.
Features
- Fast, node-free operation — connect to a DragonX lite-wallet server and sync in seconds; minimal disk and RAM.
- Wallet lifecycle — create a new wallet, restore from a seed phrase, or open an existing one; wallets auto-open on startup, with a first-run welcome prompt and guided seed backup on creation.
- Shielded + transparent — send, shield, and receive DRGX; per-address balances computed from unspent notes and UTXOs.
- Keys & seed — export your seed phrase and keys, and import keys, from Settings.
- Passphrase encryption — encrypt, unlock, lock, and decrypt the wallet; you're prompted to unlock at send time and on startup when the wallet is locked.
- Encrypted messaging (HushChat) — built-in Contacts and Chat with a seed-derived, SilentDragonXLite-compatible identity and a seed-encrypted local message store, so you can message other DragonX users end-to-end.
- Server management — a built-in server browser with automatic failover; switch servers with live reconnect/recovery, and a "Redownload blocks" action to rescan from the server.
- Status & diagnostics — a Network tab showing connection and sync status, plus an interactive Console for running backend commands and copyable error output.
- Multi-language UI — full internationalization covering 8 languages: German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese.
- Cross-platform — native builds for Linux (AppImage + zip), Windows (portable exe + zip), and macOS (DMG + .app), x86-64.
- QR code generation for receiving addresses
- Extensive theme and appearance options
How it differs from the full-node wallet
- No embedded
dragonxd, no mining, no local blockchain explorer. Chain data comes from the lite-wallet server rather than being verified locally by a full node — a lighter footprint in exchange for trusting the server for chain state. - Everything key-related stays on your device: seed, keys, and (when enabled) the encryption passphrase never leave the machine.
