Custom GUI Wallet Development Preview Release
We are proud to announce that the first preview version of the GUI wallet is ready for public testing. This is a development preview release, with intention of providing a demonstration of the early stage software to users to give them a chance to experiment as well as provide input and feedback during its initial development. This is not yet a stable release, so please use at your own risk; It is advised not to be used for managing any critical accounts or funds. The custom wallet features gorgeous graphics, animations, and professional audio. As you would expect from a GUI wallet, current features include managing accounts, sending and viewing transactions, and more. Stylish audio alerts also aid users by letting them know what the wallet is doing. This provides an enjoyable personal touch, making Expanse unique in the world of silent wallets.

The GUI also features an Integrated Console, allowing for access to the command line tools for advanced users in addition to its elegant intuitive interface Making it easy and ideal for anyone to use and get started with. The Expanse wallet is for everyone: simple, unique, and beautiful. Additionally, co-inciding with the Development Preview Release, Expanse has updated the codebase to the latest ethereum protocol. Making Expanse fully up to date, and offering an exceptional visual experience with the GUI wallet that is simple for all to use.

This is only the start, both for the GUI Wallet, and the Expanse Project! The DAO white paper will be released soon, detailing the design and implementation of the organization. Soon to follow will be the live Launch of the DAO, including an integrated management panel directly in the wallet allowing users to participate in managing and creating/voting on issues in an intuitive user friendly way, straight from the GUI.

expwallet is bundled with a copy of gexp. On the windows version, it is included in the zip and is required to be in the same directory as expwallet.
