nOS Browser 0.6 Release Candidate is here!

We’re currently releasing the new browser client as an RC (meaning 0.5 doesn’t update to it automatically), as there’s a huge overhaul to your user experience.

If you’re planning to use the 0.6 browser RC, make sure to back-up your previous nOS Browser wallets (instructions below).

On to the details!

Release Notes

  • Overhauled wallet system: Use a single mnemonic to access all your cryptocurrency wallets that nOS Browser supports, now and in the future. Currently supported wallet is NEO. Soon ARK, nOS, Ethereum, Bitcoin, and EOS are supported.
  • Extended Ledger support: Generate and use multiple addresses for one blockchain using your Ledger device.
  • Brand-new color scheme.
  • Dark theme (enabled by default).
  • Countless improvements & fixes.
Generate as many crypto wallets as you want, and access them all with the same passphrase!

Backing up legacy wallets

With the full 0.6 release, you’ll be able to export your legacy wallets directly from nOS Browser.

If you’d like to use this RC pre-release, you can back-up your wallets by following the instructions below.

Your legacy nOS Browser accounts can be accessed in the following folders:

  • Windows: %AppData%/nOS/storage
  • MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/nOS/storage
  • Ubuntu/Debian Linux: ~/.config/nOS/storage

The json files that exist in this folder contain the encrypted private keys for your nOS-created NEO wallets. Make sure to store them in a safe, offline location if you want to access these wallets in the future.

With the full release of 0.6, nOS ID will let you connect your new NEO address with your nOS ID. This way, you can keep using your existing nOS ID for apps such as nOS Chat and nOS Poker.
