Local Wallet for the Post Fiat Network

Post Fiat Wallet

Overview

The Post Fiat Wallet is a local wallet application for interacting with the Post Fiat Network. It combines a Python-based backend service with a pre-built Next.js frontend, providing a secure way to manage your Post Fiat assets while keeping sensitive operations local to your machine.

The architecture consists of:

• A FastAPI backend that handles cryptographic operations, wallet management, and blockchain interactions
• A static Next.js web application that provides an intuitive user interface
• Local storage of encrypted wallet data for enhanced security

When you run the wallet, the Python backend serves both the API endpoints and the pre-built web interface, allowing you to interact with the Post Fiat Network through your web browser while ensuring your private keys never leave your machine.
