Bob Wallet Docs

Practical guides for normal Handshake users: lightweight sync, Shakedex buying, Add Ons, message signing, safe testing, and hardware wallet status.

SPV Mode vs Full Node Mode

Understand why Bob is lightweight by default, when full-node mode matters, and how marketplace buying should behave in each mode.

Learn how Buy Now listings, reverse auctions, Shakedex channels, pending listings, and sold history fit into Bob.

Copy your existing original Bob wallet profile into Bob LearnHNS while leaving original Bob untouched.

A protocol for trusted testers installing Bob LearnHNS SPV Shakedex beta builds across macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Bob Add Ons start with native trusted tools, then expand toward Liquidity Spot, resolver directories, SLD tools, and other reviewed integrations.

Liquidity Spot starts as a public-preview Add On for human P2P HNS/BTC coordination, with atomic-swap research next.

Use Bob to sign or verify messages when you need to prove wallet control without sending a transaction.

Use separate Bob profiles, test builds, and low-value names when trying marketplace or Shakedex flows before production use.

Track names you own that are expired or approaching expiration, and understand why global expiring discovery needs indexed channel support.

Ledger Live no longer supports Handshake in newer releases. Bob docs will track the safest current options and any future hardware-wallet path.

This page is the starting point. Each card should become a full guide as Bob's tooltips and Add Ons mature.
