ARX

Clean self-custody with a separate privacy mode

ARX launched on August 21, 2026.

What it does

ARX is an open-source, fully local Windows wallet built around two profiles. Simple keeps everyday self-custody clean across 25 networks, swaps, custom EVM networks and WalletConnect. Privacy keeps advanced tools separate with proxy-enforced connections, distinct identities, RAILGUN 0zk, Monero and shielded Zcash.

Open-source Windows self-custody wallet with a clean Simple mode and optional Privacy mode. - SeverianRoth/ARX

ARX is a Windows-first, self-custody Electron wallet under active development. It brings multi-chain balances, transfers, swaps, private assets, and EVM dApp connections into one desktop app while keeping recovery material and transaction signing on the user's device. Security status: Public beta. The wallet engine is functional, send/receive and every swap provider integration is tested with real funds. Download the current Windows installer from GitHub Releases . Release changes are recorded in CHANGELOG.md . Bitcoin supports Taproot, Native SegWit, Nested SegWit, and Legacy accounts. Custom EVM networks can be added with their public RPC and explorer details. Both setup modes are…from github.com

    I'm Cameron, one of the founders at Arx Research. Last year we launched Burner, an easy to use and low cost NFC-based hardware wallet that supports Ethereum and Bitcoin. This week we're announcing Burner Terminal, a point of sale device designed for native tap to pay stablecoin payments. While there are a number of projects that have allowed for cryptocurrency and stablecoin payments via QR code over the years, we believe that in most developed markets the user experience of contactless cards has won for retail payments. We saw some early interest in using Burner for tap payments, however,…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
