Description

Neuron can be used as an offline cold wallet with the following process:

  1. Prepare two computers, one offline and one online, both with Neuron installed.
  2. On the offline computer running Neuron, generate a new wallet and go to the menu => Wallet => Export Extended Public Key. This exports the extended public key for creating a watch-only wallet.
  3. On the online computer running Neuron, import the Extended Public Key obtained in step 2 to create a watch-only wallet for syncing and creating transactions.
  4. Wait for the online computer's Neuron to sync to the latest block. When performing transactions or interacting with DAO, there will be an option to 'Export Transaction' in the dialog box for entering the password, which will give you a transaction that needs to be signed.
  5. On the offline computer running Neuron, go to the menu => Tools => Offline Sign. You can sign and export the transaction from step 4.
  6. On the online computer's Neuron, go to the menu => Tools => Offline Sign to broadcast (submit to the blockchain) the signed transaction from step 5.

Research direction

The issue describes a six-step offline-wallet flow using Neuron’s Wallet → Export Extended Public Key and Tools → Offline Sign entry points. Start by locating the relevant wallet or user documentation and verify the export, signing, and broadcast terminology against the current UI. Done means the offline cold-wallet workflow for receiving and sending coins is documented accurately; no documentation file or test is named.
