Skylight by MAGIC Grants is one of the very few wallets that run off Monero LWS, which kills the dreaded sync wait I hate so much. Brings us closer to a mobile XMR experience w/ the UX modern chains provide. Making a mobile device do the chain scan never made much architectural sense to begin w/.…

Signing Monero transactions offline isn't easy to begin with, and even the official method is complex and risky enough that it's not really recommended. But there's another thing about the official flow that's bothered me for a while: it doesn't actually build the transaction offline. The transfer…
