App on Raspberry-Pi

In the meantime there is a growing group of Raspberry Pi owners who use or want to use the Defi Node (command line client) or the Defi Wallet (desktop app).

Since there is currently no official DeFiChain release available for the Raspberrys, several community members have created their own compilations.

The goal of this page is to give an overview of the different possibilities.

DeFiNode​

With this project you can print a 3D enclosure yourself and create and run a Node or Wallet locally on a Raspberry Pi 4.

  • DeFiNode on Github, there is all the documentation available
    • Shopping list for hardware
    • Source Code for 3D-Printer
    • Raspberry OS installation / configuration
    • Installation script for creating the Defi Wallet
  • DeFiNode on Telegram, for questions and support
  • DeFiNode Druckservice, there you can order your own DEFI case

Pros​

  • Step by step guide to running DeFi Fullnode.
  • Has the option for "don't trust - verify" the source code

Cons​

  • Own creation of the Defi Wallet on the Raspberry with several hours of time (~2.5h)
  • Runs as a web app in the browser window

RaspberryPI Image​

The image contains the Raspberry Pi OS and the installation of the Defi Wallet. After copying the image to the memory card / USB memory and configuring the OS, the Defi Wallet is ready to use. It couldn't be easier.

Pros​

  • "Normal" Raspberry Pi OS installation with preinstalled Defi Wallet - fast and easy

Cons​

  • Runs as web app in browser window
  • Since fully compiled and pre-installed, "don't trust - verify" is not given

Defi Wallet for Raspberry Pi​

These AppImages correspond to the Defi Wallets for Linux, Mac and Windows, as they are officially offered by DeFiChain and are a supplement to its offer. There is also the Defi Node in the command line version, i.e. the fullnode in the client version. The AppImage and the fullnode are available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions respectively.

Pros​

  • Corresponds graphically exactly to the official Defi Wallets
  • Runs as desktop app
  • Client version for operation without GUI (graphical user interface)

Cons​

  • Since fully compiled, "Don't trust - verify" is not given
