Using the wallet
Short answers to the questions people ask most.
Creating a wallet
Choose Create a wallet, read the three statements, and generate your 24 words. Reveal them on the Recovery Certificate, write them in order on paper, then confirm four of them. Finally choose a password to seal this device's copy.
Restoring a wallet
Choose Restore, enter your 24 words (pasting splits them into place) and set a new password. A keystore file made by the command-line tool can also be opened with its own password.
Receiving
Open Receive to show your address and its QR code. You can add an amount to make a payment link. Addresses begin with alt: and their letter case is a checksum: share them exactly.
Sending
Enter the recipient, asset and amount, then Price this transfer: the network simulates it and reports the fee. Review the Instruction to Transfer and hold to sign. The transfer moves through Signed, Submitted, Accepted and Finalized.
Fees
Fees are paid in ALnT or AEY and set by the network from the execution units a transfer uses. The review shows the fee from simulation and the maximum allowed. A fee is charged even when a transfer fails on chain.
Finality
A transfer is final when the network has finalized the block that holds it, usually within about a second. Until then it is shown as awaiting finality — never as complete.
Activity
Activity lists transfers this wallet sent and those it saw arrive while open. The full history of any account is on the Explorer.
Locking and passwords
The wallet locks after a period of inactivity you choose, and when the tab stays hidden. A forgotten password is replaced by restoring from your recovery phrase.
Staying safe
No one from Aletheia will ever ask for your phrase or password. Check that you are on the official address, and check pasted addresses: some malware swaps them in the clipboard.
