About Monero GUI Wallet
The Monero GUI Wallet is the Monero Project's own graphical wallet for holding XMR. Monero is a decentralised cryptocurrency designed to keep transactions private, and a wallet is the first thing you need to use it.
The official downloads page offers wallets for several platforms, each containing everything needed to start sending and receiving Monero. It suits people who want to hold Monero themselves rather than keep coins on an exchange.
