If you are looking for older versions of the Crypto.com Desktop/DeFi Wallet, you are likely trying to recover access to a wallet file that is no longer compatible with the latest software update. Before proceeding, it is important to distinguish this software from the standard Crypto.com app. The Desktop/DeFi Wallet is a non-custodial application, meaning that unlike the custodial app where the company holds your funds, you possess the private keys and have full control over your assets.
Where to find the software
Finding specific legacy versions of cryptocurrency software can be difficult, but fortunately, Crypto.com maintains an archive for this wallet software.
Versions 0.0.7 and above
If you require version 0.0.7 or newer, the process is straightforward. The binary files for these versions are hosted directly on their GitHub repository. You can find the list of releases at the following URL: https://github.com/crypto-com/chain-desktop-wallet/releases
Simply scroll through the “Releases” section to find the specific version number you are looking for.
Versions below 0.0.7
If you are trying to recover a very old wallet created with a version prior to 0.0.7, the situation is more complex. The pre-compiled binaries for these early iterations are not available for download. To use them, you will need to download the source code and compile the software manually. This requires a development environment and some programming knowledge.
