Cake Wallet Monero Remote Node Directory
Using a monero remote node allows you to scan the Monero blockchain instantly without downloading hundreds of gigabytes of data to your device. Cake Wallet comes pre-configured with default nodes, but they frequently suffer from heavy congestion. If you get sync stuck errors, adding one of the verified nodes from the directory below will immediately fix the stall.

Privacy Considerations When Using Remote Nodes
Is using a remote node safe? Yes, but with caveats.
Because Cake Wallet is open source, you can verify that it encrypts your private keys locally. A remote node never has access to your monero seed phrase, and it cannot steal your coins. However, the node operator can see:
- Your IP address.
- The timestamp when you synchronized your wallet.
- The transactions you submit to the blockchain.
To mask your IP address, we highly recommend running Cake Wallet behind a trusted VPN or using Tor/I2P if supported. If you require absolute privacy, compiling a local node from the cake wallet github is the gold standard.
How to Add a Custom Node in Cake Wallet
Follow these quick instructions to configure a custom node manually:
- Open the app and select your Monero wallet.
- Tap the Menu gear in the top right.
- Navigate to Connection & Sync.
- Tap the + (Add Node) button at the top right of the node selection panel.
- Enter the Node Hostname (e.g.,
node.community.xmr.to) and the Port (18089). - If the node requires authentication, enter the credentials (most public nodes do not require this).
- Tap Save and select the newly added node as active.
