Installation

Zelcore is available as a desktop app, a mobile app and a browser extension. Install each one from its official link below, after checking the system requirements.

Applies to Zelcore 8.39

System requirements match Zelcore 8.39.0 on desktop, mobile and the extension (October 2026).

Install only from the official links on this page

Use the links below or go to zelcore.io/wallet. Do not install Zelcore from search results, ads, social media posts, messages, or third-party download sites. Fake wallet apps exist, and they are built to steal your seed phrase.

How to spot an impostor​

  • A real Zelcore app never needs your seed phrase to install or open. Enter a seed phrase only when you create or import a wallet inside the app you installed from an official source. If an installer, a website or a support agent asks for it, stop.
  • Check the address. Start desktop downloads from zelcore.io/wallet. The mobile and extension links below point to the official store listings. Open them from this page, then compare the listing ID in the address bar with the ID shown in the steps.
  • Be careful with search results. Search results can include sponsored listings and look-alike apps. Reach the store listing from a link on zelcore.io or this page instead.
  • Zelcore will never ask for your seed phrase, password or private keys. Anyone who asks for them is not Zelcore.

If you already installed something that does not come from an official link, and you entered a seed phrase, see Responding to a Wallet Compromise.
