The last few weeks at the O3 offices have been a hive of activity. With the launch of our V2 mobile app for Android and iOS, the introduction of our new dApp browser, O3 alliance, and integration with trading partner Switcheo, it’s been pretty crazy. But that’s not even the best bit!

We would like to introduce the latest addition to our growing family of products.

O3 for Desktop!

Say hello to the O3 family

Available for Windows, Mac OS and Linux, you can download it today from O3.network.

O3 for Desktop is the next step in creating a truly cross platform ecosystem, for everyday users, to interact with the blockchain in a safe and user friendly way.

Introducing O3 for Desktop!

Version 1

V1 of the desktop comes with a range of awesome features, with a focus on your portfolio, allowing users to interact with multiple wallets (including ledger integration for NEO and Ontology) in an easy to use interface.

Users can claim GAS and ONG, send and receive assets, view transaction history and current market rates, all from the main screen.

O3 for Desktop settings

Managing your wallets is easy. From the settings menu, you can add/create new wallets, select currency and export or import wallet files. Users can also rearrange their wallets or by dropping and drawing the wallet icon next to it’s name.

You can even add watch address’ by simply selecting ‘add new wallet’ and enter the wallet’s address in the field. It will add the address but you will need to enter the private key later to fully access the account.

Tapping a wallet name, users can then access their keys and address, edit the name or remove the wallet completely. For security reasons, the private key is hidden until the users taps ‘show private key’ and enters their wallet password.

The app also provides users with a seamless experience for swapping their NEP5 ONT tokens to main net ONT. Additionally, Ledger user will now be able to securely access their ONT main net tokens from the round two airdrop without revealing their mnemonic phrases!

What’s next

For version one, our major focus was on creating a really solid and fast desktop wallet with awesome usability, and we are super happy with the results. Next steps are to bring the functionality up to parity with our mobile offerings, by adding support for dApps, trading, the marketplace, news feeds and stronger integration between the two platforms.

We are always working to improve the experience across all our products, so please let us know what you think! Just hit the feedback button at the bottom of the desktop app and head over to our community page if you have any questions!

We have also put together a set of guides to help get you started with O3 for desktop, which take a deep dive into all the functionality of the app.
