Scatter Desktop runs on Windows 11 (EXE), macOS 14 Sonoma (universal DMG) and Ubuntu 22.04+ (AppImage). It understands EOSIO, EVM and Tron so you can secure EOS, Telos, WAX, Vaulta Swap, Ethereum and TRC-20/ ERC-20 assets from one seed phrase.
Official releases are created in clean, deterministic environments on macOS, Windows and Linux. The build ships only if all artifacts are bit-identical; any hash mismatch fails the release, thwarting CI or dependency tampering.
Fetch the accompanying .sha256sum and .asc files, run sha256sum -c then gpg --verify. Official releases are signed with PGP key 0xA3126F54D23B18EF.
No. Keys are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and stretched via scrypt 16k/8/1. Signing occurs inside an isolated WebAssembly sandbox; raw key material never leaves your machine.
Yes. Paste WIF, raw hex, or 12/24-word BIP-39 seeds and SLIP-10 paths. For MetaMask, provide the 12-word phrase; Scatter derives the standard m/44'/60'/0'/0/x addresses so balances appear immediately.
Vaulta Swap is an EOS AMM. Scatter embeds its SDK so you can provide liquidity, manage LP positions and swap without opening a browser.
They are temporary child keys with narrowly defined permissions and expiry. Use them for time-boxed tasks like mints or trades to reduce risk exposure.
No. It’s free and MIT-licensed. You only pay on-chain costs such as CPU/NET/RAM, EVM gas or Tron energy.
If the dApp uses Scatter-JS v3 or Anchor-Inject it will discover the signer automatically. Otherwise enable the WebSocket bridge in Settings → Connectivity and supply the URI to the dApp.
Yes. Open Resources, choose an EOSIO account and adjust CPU/NET. Scatter previews the exact delta before sending the transaction.
Not currently. A read-only portfolio with push signing is planned for Q2 2026; desktop remains the security reference.
Connect Ledger, Trezor T or Keystone. Scatter detects via WebHID/WebUSB/QR and requires on-device confirmation to prevent blind signing.
Without both the encrypted vault and your master password, the seed remains secure. Restore from your latest backup and rotate permissions on any contracts and session keys.
