Skywallet Hardware Wallet Utilities Updated and Integrated

Skywallet Utilities — Fully Integrated into Skycoin

The Skywallet hardware wallet utilities have been fully integrated into the Skycoin repository. Previously maintained as separate external projects (hardware-wallet-go and hardware-wallet-daemon), all source code now lives within the Skycoin monorepo and ships as part of the unified binary.

What Changed

• Source integration — The hardware-wallet-go library and hardware-wallet-daemon HTTP server have been moved into src/hardware-wallet/ and src/hardware-wallet-daemon/ respectively, eliminating external dependency management.
• Unified binary — The release binary now includes skyhw as a subcommand alongside daemon, cli, web, explorer, and newcoin.
• Static compilation — Release builds use static musl compilation with bundled libusb, so there are no runtime library dependencies.
• Cross-platform support — Builds for Linux (amd64, arm64, riscv64), macOS (amd64, arm64), and Windows (amd64).

Usage

Run the hardware wallet daemon:

skyhw daemon

Use the CLI to interact with a connected Skywallet device:

skyhw cli generateAddresses -n 5
skyhw cli transactionSign --inputHash <hash>
skyhw cli ping

Available CLI Commands

The skyhw cli provides commands for address generation, device configuration, firmware updates, mnemonic generation and recovery, message signing, transaction signing, PIN management, entropy retrieval, backup, and device wipe.
