The error message “Monero wallet failed to connect to daemon” indicates a problem with the communication between your wallet and the Monero network. To fix this problem, you need to perform the following steps:

Check Daemon Status

The Monero daemon is a program that runs in the background and connects your wallet to the network. It needs to be running and fully synced with the latest blocks. You can use the monerod command in the terminal to check its status and progress.

Internet and Firewall

Your wallet needs a stable and uninterrupted internet connection to communicate with the daemon. Make sure your internet is working properly and that your firewall or antivirus software is not interfering with the connection. You may need to adjust your security settings to allow the Monero wallet to access the daemon.

Daemon Host and Port

Your wallet needs to know where to find the daemon and what port to use. The default settings are 127.0.0.1 (localhost) for the host and 18081 for the port. If you are using a remote node, you need to enter the correct host and port information in your wallet settings. You can find a list of public remote nodes here: https://moneroworld.com/#nodes

Node Connectivity and Software Updates

If you are using a remote node, make sure it is online and working properly. You can test its connectivity by using the ping command in the terminal. You also need to keep your Monero wallet software updated to the latest version, as older versions may have compatibility issues with the network.

By following these steps, you should be able to solve the “Monero wallet failed to connect to daemon” error and use your Monero wallet without any problems.
