Enable/Disable Wallet

By disabling the wallet, you are turning off the built-in wallet functions of the node.

This legacy param has been part of Lynx for a long time, but it’s rarely used as often as it should be. The setting is found in the ~/.lynx/lynx.conf file. Be sure to restart the daemon after changing this setting.

disablewallet=1 # wallet functions on this node are not functioning

By disabling the wallet, you are turning off the built-in wallet functions of the node. By disabling the wallet, you are removing an attack surface. No sending or receiving of coins can occur, only relaying blocks to peer nodes and verification of transactions.

disablewallet=0 # wallet functions on this node are enabled

This setting will override the disablestaking setting. Staking requires both the wallet to be enabled and at least one address in the wallet to have a balance.
