Basecamp
Logos Basecamp is the desktop app for Logos. It bundles a blockchain node, a wallet, a module manager and other tools in one install. The docs call it the default launcher for the stack. It starts the Logos runtime on your computer, loads a set of modules and gives them one interface.
What it does
The Basecamp page on logos.co lists these features:
- Wallet. Accounts on the Logos Execution Zone. Send and receive tokens, including private transfers that use zero-knowledge proofs.
- Private messaging. Encrypted peer-to-peer chat over the Logos messaging layer, with no central relay.
- Blockchain explorer. Browse blocks, transactions and activity on the Logos Execution Zone.
- File sharing. Decentralised storage, with the file index kept on your device.
- Node dashboard. Run a full blockchain node and take part in the Testnet.
- Package manager. Browse, install and update modules.
The page says Basecamp needs no accounts, sends no data to third parties and has no cloud dependencies. The Testnet v0.3 release added a Monero wallet and Ethereum wallet apps.
Platforms
Prebuilt installers are published for:
- macOS on Apple silicon (
.dmg) - Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit Intel or AMD (
-x86_64-setup.exe) - Linux, 64-bit Intel or AMD (
-x86_64.AppImage) - Linux on ARM64 (
-aarch64.AppImage)
WSL2 on Windows is also supported. The docs ask for 4 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended) and about 2 GB of free disk space.
Not every app runs on native Windows yet. Chat and Storage do. The blockchain node and the swap app need the Linux AppImage under WSL2.
Install it
- Go to the latest release and download the file for your system.
- macOS: open the
.dmgand drag Basecamp into Applications. - Linux or WSL: install the few system libraries the docs list, make the AppImage executable and run it.
- Windows: run the setup file. It does not need administrator rights. The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may warn you. Choose "Install (recommended)" or a portable copy.
The install guide has the exact commands, a build-from-source route with Nix, and fixes for common errors.
