GeroWallet 2.7 Brings Midnight Mainnet and DUST Into the Wallet

GeroWallet released Dashboard 2.7.0 on August 19, moving several previously announced integrations into its user-facing product.

Users can manage Cardano assets, stake ADA, delegate to DReps, connect with decentralized applications and access DeFi while retaining control of their private keys. The wallet’s public code is now available under the Apache 2.0 license.

Midnight Mainnet and DUST Move Into the Wallet

Version 2.7.0 adds Midnight mainnet and test environments directly to GeroWallet, allowing users to manage Midnight accounts alongside their Cardano wallets.

Users can register native $NIGHT held on Midnight or cNIGHT held in Cardano wallets to generate DUST without visiting an external portal. The wallet also supports deregistration and destination migration, allowing users to change the address receiving the generated resource.

GeroWallet can identify duplicate $NIGHT or cNIGHT registrations that may interrupt DUST generation and guide users through consolidation. Gero-sponsored collateral also allows wallets without a pure-ADA UTxO to complete registration.

Users can choose where Midnight zero-knowledge proofs are produced through Gero Cloud, a local proof server or Arkhia zkPaaS using their own credentials.

Gero Replaces DexHunter With Its Own Cardano Aggregator

GeroWallet has replaced DexHunter with its own swap aggregator across the main swap page, dialog, dashboard, side panel and token detail view.

The embedded Gero Swap module supports password and PassKey wallets together with Ledger, Trezor and Keystone hardware devices.

Cardano market and portfolio data now flow through Nexus, Gero’s infrastructure layer for blockchain information, prices, DeFi routing and real-time updates. A slow or unavailable price feed is designed to degrade separately rather than blocking the complete portfolio view.

The redesigned dashboard also includes Mini Gero, a compact wallet in the browser side panel. Users can check balances, transfer assets, initiate swaps, delegate stake and approve dApp requests without opening the full interface.

Bitcoin Testnet and Security Hardening Expand Version 2.7

Bitcoin is currently available on testnet only. Bitcoin mainnet, Lightning, Ordinals and other planned integrations have not yet been activated.

Google-backed Cardano MPC wallets are being introduced progressively during the 2.7 release cycle. The system divides a wallet key into three Shamir shares and requires two for access, while the backend holds only one. Users retain an encrypted recovery path and can export the underlying mnemonic.

Cross-device signing also depends on Gero’s upcoming iOS application. The desktop wallet already includes QR pairing, device verification and permission controls, but the complete signing flow requires a compatible mobile wallet.

The release follows two external security review rounds. Mnemonic phrases, two-factor authentication and MPC data are now protected through Argon2id, while the older crypto-ts implementation and its weaker key derivation system have been removed. Additional controls strengthen dApp origin validation, WalletConnect pairing and access to cross-device functions.

For GeroWallet users, the operational change is direct: Midnight accounts, DUST registration, Cardano swap routing, market data and Bitcoin testing now share one wallet environment. Google MPC access and remote mobile signing remain staged features rather than universal parts of the release.
