There are 4 XAYA wallet distributions.

1. XAYA Electron wallet for Windows
2. XAYA QT wallet for Windows
3. XAYA QT wallet for Linux
4. XAYA QT wallet for Mac OS X

When you first run them, they need to download and sync the blockchain. This can take some time and largely depends on your network connection.

About the Electron Wallet

The XAYA Electron wallet is designed for gaming. Out-of-the-box it comes preconfigured for games with all the proper options. This is the easiest option.

Further, the Electron wallet contains 2 distinct wallets:

• game.dat: Has no password. Meant for storing smaller amounts of CHI to play games
• vault.dat: Is password protected. Meant for storing larger amounts of CHI

Refer to the Wallets section of the XAYA Electron Help documentation for a more in depth description.

However, even if you do choose to use the Electron wallet, you should still download the QT wallet as it has some important tools that you'll enjoy using.

About the QT Wallets

The QT wallets are all standard wallets and very similar to the Bitcoin Core QT wallet. There aren't any significant differences between the Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X distributions.

If you choose to use a QT wallet during development, you can refer to the Bitcoin Core help for those parts that are common to both XAYA and Bitcoin.

You can also get help through the XAYA QT console by typing "help" or "help <command>".
