Dero (DERO) — and how to store it

Dero is a privacy-first layer-1 blockchain with the world's first fully encrypted smart contracts using homomorphic encryption. The native coin is DERO. To hold or transact DERO safely, you need a non-custodial wallet that supports Dero's native cryptography — Engram Wallet is the official choice.

What is Dero?

Dero is a layer-1 blockchain combining privacy (ring signatures + homomorphic encryption) with smart contracts. Transactions, balances and contract state are encrypted by default.

How to store Dero coin

The safest way to store DERO is in a non-custodial wallet you control. Avoid leaving DERO on exchanges — they hold the keys, not you. Engram Wallet generates and encrypts your keys locally with AES-256.

How to send and receive DERO

Inside Engram, open the Transfers module to send DERO to any address or registered Dero name. Receive DERO by sharing your wallet address or registered name from the Identity module.
