Dana is a flutter app used for accepting bitcoin donations. It uses silent payments, a new static payments protocol, to receive donations while preserving on-chain privacy.
Dana wallet is currently still in an experimental phase. We recommend sticking to testnet/signet. If you really want to test out the wallet on mainnet, only use funds you are willing to lose. We don't take responsibility for lost funds.
We are looking into releasing Dana wallet on the popular app stores once the app is more stable.
In the meantime, there are two ways to try out Dana wallet:
- Download Dana wallet using our self-hosted F-Droid repository
- Download the latest Dana wallet APK from the releases page
We recommend the F-Droid option, since this has support for automatic updates, and only requires setup once.
- Open F-Droid on your android phone
- Go to 'Settings'
- In the 'My Apps' section, click on 'Repositories'
- Add a new repository by clicking the '+' icon
- Scan the QR code found on this page: https://fdroid.silentpayments.dev/fdroid/repo (alternatively, copy-paste this URL manually)
You now have added our self-hosted repository. To download the app, search for 'Dana Wallet' in the F-Droid app store section (you may need to refresh the app list first, by swiping down on the F-Droid store screen).
Below are some instructions to build Dana wallet from souce. This is only recommended if you want to want to help out with development for Dana wallet.
Building for linux should require no extra effort, simply execute
flutter run
This may also work on other platforms (macOS, Windows), but we have not tested this.
Building for an android device requires some preparatory work, to generate binaries for this architecture.
First, you need cargo-ndk. You may also need to add your desired toolchains:
cargo install cargo-ndk
rustup target add \
aarch64-linux-android \
armv7-linux-androideabi \
x86_64-linux-android \
i686-linux-android
After these are installed, go in to the rust directory and run just build-android.
cd rust
just build-android
If you don't have just installed, you can also copy the commands found in the justfile.
This generates the binaries.
Next, connect your phone and enable debugging mode. Check if you phone is connected by running
flutter devices
Finally, to build and install the app for your android device:
flutter run
