Introducing the New Pactus GUI

Overview

We’re excited to announce the first public release of the New Pactus GUI, built with Flutter to deliver a beautiful, cross-platform experience for Pactus users! This early version represents a major leap forward in making blockchain interaction more accessible to everyone. Why Flutter?

We chose Flutter for several key reasons:

  • Cross-platform compatibility - Runs seamlessly on Windows, macOS and Linux (with mobile coming later!)
  • Beautiful, native-performance UI - Smooth animations and responsive interfaces
  • Rapid development cycles - Allows us to implement features and fixes faster

Current Feature Highlights

This initial release includes:

  • ✅ Basic node setup and management
  • ✅ Dashboard with network overview
  • ✅ Wallet and validator information display
  • ✅ Settings configuration panel

All wrapped in a modern, intuitive interface that works across desktop platforms.

We’ve completed

  • Phase 1: Basic Node Setup
  • Phase 2: Dashboard Foundation
  • Phase 3: Node Testing

Currently working on Phase 4:

  • 🔧 Lightweight node installation
  • 🔧 gRPC package publishing
  • 🔧 Enhanced UI during sync
