Step by step
- Download the macOS .dmg from the wallet download page and open it.
- Drag BTX PQ wallet into your Applications folder.
- Open Applications and double-click BTX PQ wallet. macOS checks the signature with Apple and opens it.
What macOS shows you
On the very first launch macOS may say the app was downloaded from the internet and ask if you are sure. It names the developer: Bonuz Technology DMCC. Click Open. That is the normal prompt every signed app gets, not a warning that something is wrong.
The app is signed with an Apple Developer ID certificate issued to Bonuz Technology DMCC and has been notarized by Apple, which means Apple scanned the build for malicious code and issued a ticket that is stapled inside the download. Because the ticket travels with the file, the check works even with no internet connection.
Upgrading from an older version?
Replace the app in Applications as usual. Your wallets are untouched: the app stores its data exactly where it always did, so everything is there when you open it. Your 64-character master key still belongs offline, as always.
Verify the download (optional)
macOS already verifies the signature for you, but you can check the file yourself. On the download page each build lists its SHA-256. In Terminal, run shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/BTX-PQ-wallet-*.dmg and check it matches. To confirm the signature directly:
spctl -a -vvv -t install "/Applications/BTX PQ wallet.app"
It should report source=Notarized Developer ID and name Bonuz Technology DMCC.
On Windows
There is no Terminal step. SmartScreen shows “Windows protected your PC”. Click More info, then Run anyway, and finish the installer.
