Abraxas Wallet combines a local-first security model with developer-grade tooling and multi-chain interoperability. This landing guide explains setup, recommended security practices, core features, and practical troubleshooting so you can operate confidently whether you’re trading, integrating, or managing institutional flows.
Abraxas Wallet is designed to serve both active traders and engineering teams. It delivers deterministic key handling, modular integrations for liquidity and analytics, and a lightweight UX that scales from mobile to trusted server-side signing. The wallet supports EVM chains, major L2s, and popular non-EVM networks via custom RPCs. Prioritizing predictable execution, Abraxas also exposes simulation and dry-run tools for high-value flows.
Install the official client from the verified distribution channel. Verify checksums or signatures to ensure authenticity. Create a new wallet with a strong password and write your recovery phrase on durable, offline media. For teams and large balances, pair a hardware device immediately and consider creating a multisig or threshold signing policy for operational safety.
Abraxas uses a local-first architecture: private keys are generated and stored on the user device and are never uploaded to remote servers. Cryptographic operations take place locally; signed transactions are then broadcast to the network through configurable RPC endpoints. For enhanced protection, the wallet supports Ledger, Trezor, and industry-standard threshold signing schemes for multisig. Audit logging, role separation, and explicit transaction metadata improve traceability for teams.
Key features include swap aggregation, gas control presets, custom RPCs, transaction simulators, and developer APIs for CI integration. Swap aggregation connects multiple liquidity sources to optimize price and slippage. Transaction simulation flags reverts before signing. Developers can use programmatic signing adapters to automate workflows while preserving key isolation.
Balance incorrect? Try switching RPC endpoints or re-importing the account with the correct derivation path. Missing token? Add the token contract manually using the token’s explorer address. Suspect compromise? Generate a new wallet on a secure device, transfer funds to a hardware-backed account, and revoke approvals.
