Connect with a Remote Node

If you wish to sync your wallet to an Aion node that is not running on your local machine, you may do so after making two changes in:

Configure Aion kernel

You will first have to ensure that the config.xml file found in the aion/config folder of your aion kernel repository is modified such that the Java API accepts remote access. This will allow your wallet to connect with the node.

  1. Navigate to the aion/config/config.xml file
  2. Change the IP address of the Java API section to 0.0.0.0
  3. Save the config file and re-launch the kernel and wallet for changes to take effect
<java active="true" ip="0.0.0.0" port="8547">

Configure wallet

After configuring the node you wish to connect to, you will need to change wallet settings so the IP address points to the machine running it.

  1. Launch the Aion Desktop Wallet and navigate to the "Settings" tab
  2. Change the IP from 127.0.0.1 to the address of the machine currently running the Aion node you wish to connect to
  3. Click "Apply" to save your changes
860

Delete or Switch Wallet

If you wish to no longer use the wallet stored on your machine, or switch to another one, you have the option to delete the current wallet database and restart a fresh wallet (or restore an existing Aion wallet from its seed mnemonic).

🚧

Note

The deletion of your wallet database is permanent - you will not be able to recover the accounts unless you have the mnemonic and password backed up.

  1. Open up terminal and navigate to the home directory (or run cd from any directory)
  2. Remove the hidden file .aion using the command rm -r .aion
  3. Relaunch the Aion Desktop Wallet, you should notice that you will be prompted to [add an account](https://docs.aion.network/docs/interact-with-your-wallet#section-add-an-account from seed mnemonic or create a new account and password
