Setting up the GUI Walllet

  • Credits are to Foxi3 - for writing the original version. This has been ported from PDF to our knowledgebase.

Getting Started


Step 1) Download uPlexa GUI Wallet from uPlexa official GitHub - https://github.com/uPlexa/uplexa-gui/releases. The current revision of GUI Wallet is v0.1.2 at the time this article is written.


Step 2) Extract uplexa-gui-win64-v0.1.2.zip to location of your choice. Once you have extracted the .zip file, open the GUI Wallet by running uplexa-wallet-gui.exe
NOTE: On Mac or Linux, run uplexa-wallet-gui

Creating a Wallet


Step 1) Open the uPlexa GUI Wallet and select your preferred language for the GUI Wallet.


Step 2) Select “Create a new wallet”. Choose "Mainnet" under Advanced Options.


Step 3) Give your wallet a name, and please TAKE NOTE and COPY the 25-Mnemonic Word Seed (Seed) for safekeeping.
IMPORTANT! You are responsible for safekeeping of the Seed. You only can recover your wallet using this Seed and others may too. Keep it a SECRET!


Step 4) Set a strong password for your GUI Wallet. If you lost/forget your password, you will not be able to open your GUI Wallet, but you still can restore your wallet using 25-Mnemonic Word Seed.


Step 5) Setting up Node:

  • Remote Node: Connect to remote.uplexa.com Port:21061. With this option, you don't have to download the entire uPlexa Blockchain.
  • Local Node: uPlexa Daemon will run in the background, download and sync the entire uPlexa Blockchain. You'll need sufficient storage space and high speed internet connection.


Step 6) Now you are all set up to use uPlexa GUI Wallet. Click on “USE UPLEXA” button to start using your GUI Wallet.

Restoring Your Wallet

You can restore your uPlexa Wallet created using Web Wallet, Android or GUI Wallet by using two options:

  • Restore using 25-Word Mnemonic Seed (Private Login Key)
  • Restore using Wallet Address and Private-Keys (View & Spend Key)

Select Restore wallet using mnemonic seed or private keys

Restore using 25-Word Mnemonic Seed (Private Login Key)

  • Type-in or Copy Paste your wallet Seed. Please ensure no extra character or spaces as it will rendered the Seed useless.
  • Restore Height: "0" - This will sync your GUI Wallet from the first block in the uPlexa Blockchain.

Restore using Wallet Address and Private-Keys (View & Spend Key)

  • Type-in your wallet address (start with UPX...), private View key and private Spend key.
  • Restore Height: "0" - This will sync your GUI Wallet from the first block in the uPlexa Blockchain.


Now, allow for the wallet to sync. This may take a few minutes. Once fully synchronized, your balance will be shown.
