Yoroi

Yoroi keeps the local setup lighter than a full Cardano node. Its mobile app offers multiple wallets, transaction history, portfolio views and Cardano NFT management. Delegation and governance features are also available, while buying and selling use integrated partners.

Receive and review a payment

Create or restore the intended wallet before copying an address. Use Receive to obtain its receiving address or shareable QR code, then give that address to the sender. Use the wallet's transaction history to review the resulting payment. The wallet can operate without waiting for a full-chain download.

For a transfer out, Send is the starting point. Check the recipient and asset before authorizing the transaction. A wallet password is used to authorize transactions in the extension and mobile app; hardware-wallet signing follows the connected device's process.

Password and recovery phrase

The password protects the local private-key data. It is not a recovery phrase, and Yoroi cannot retrieve a forgotten password. With the saved recovery phrase, the wallet can be restored and a new password chosen. Without the needed recovery material, reinstalling the app does not restore access by itself.

The extension repository provides Chrome and Edge downloads; mobile versions are available on iOS and Android. The mobile repository documents network selection for Mainnet, Preprod and Preview. Check the selected network when using a test wallet, since test assets and mainnet assets are separate.

Yoroi's software is free to use under its open-source licenses. Cardano transaction fees and any integrated provider charges remain separate. A wallet setup is local key management, rather than registration for a hosted custodial account.
