Aero
A free, Tor-routed Ethereum & ERC-20 desktop wallet.
Aero is a small, fast, open-source Ethereum wallet for the desktop. It routes everything over a bundled Tor client, keeps no logs, and phones no home. It borrows its interface and philosophy from Feather, the Monero wallet: sane defaults for most people, with a full feature set for those who want it.
The latest version is v0.1.3.

What you get
- Tor by default. A Tor client is bundled and started for you. Every RPC call, price lookup, swap request and block-explorer query goes through it. With no proxy configured, Aero refuses to talk to a remote node rather than leak your IP.
- No telemetry, no accounts, no logging. There is no server behind Aero. Nothing about you or your wallet is collected or transmitted anywhere.
- Multichain. Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Gnosis and Avalanche — one seed, switch networks from a menu.
- Private swaps. Compare keyless aggregators (CoW Protocol, KyberSwap, Odos, ParaSwap, OpenOcean) and swap over Tor. Every route enforces a minimum output on-chain, so a swap can never fill below your slippage.
- Hardware wallets. Ledger and Trezor supported, with host-entered passphrases.
- Watch-only & air-gapped. Track an address with no keys, or build an unsigned transaction on an online machine and sign it offline.
- Portable. Nothing is installed. Unzip it, run it, delete it. Your encrypted wallet lives beside the app.
- Strong key storage. Wallet files are encrypted with Argon2id and AES-256-GCM and stored in an opaque binary format.
- Free software. BSD-3-Clause. Read, build and audit the source.
Why Aero
Most Ethereum wallets are browser extensions that watch what you do, or heavy Electron apps that leak your addresses to third-party servers on every refresh. Aero is a native desktop program that treats network privacy as the default, not a setting. It is meant to feel obvious: pick a network, hold your keys, sign what you mean to sign.
