Verifying the Authenticity of the Desktop Application

Last updated: October 25th, 2021

The desktop application is not actively maintained.

The MyCrypto desktop application is part of an older version of MyCrypto that is not actively maintained. You can find the latest version of MyCrypto on mycrypto.com.

After downloading the desktop application, it's highly recommended to verify the checksum of the application. This ensures that you are using the real MyCrypto desktop application and not one that has been tampered with by someone else.

To begin, download the desktop application and the signed checksums (checksums.txt.gpg) from download.mycrypto.com and place both files in a folder somewhere.

Verifying the checksums is platform-specific, so follow the instructions that apply to you. Instructions are available for Windows, macOS and Linux.

  • Windows

  • macOS

  • Linux
