## What it is
The legacy desktop wallet for the IOTA cryptocurrency, built with Electron and JavaScript. It is deprecated and users are directed to the Trinity wallet instead.

## When to choose
- you need to recover or access funds with a legacy IOTA seed
- you are studying the history of IOTA wallet software

## When to avoid

- you need security updates or support for current IOTA networks
