Adding Bridgechain to ARK Desktop Wallet
Adding Network to ARK Desktop Wallet
Since our genesis node is up with peers running, we can now add the bridgechain network to the ARK Desktop Wallet, which of course functions with the ARK Mainnet and Devnet, but can also work with your new chain.
First, let’s get the wallet and add a network.
- Download and install the latest release of the ARK Desktop Wallet.
- On initial install, you will be forced to choose ARK network. Choose ARK. You will add your new network soon.
- Now that you’re in the wallet with the ARK network, you’ll need to add a new network, your network.
- Click the
Cloud
icon in the bottom left area, thenManage Networks
. - Click
Add a new network
. -
Name
the network your bridgechain name. If you like, you can declare which net it is as well (main, dev, test). -
Describe
your network. - Enter
http://GENESIS_NODE_IP:4003
or custom Public API Port. - You will then be taken to a new page showing details about your network that have been called from the genesis node.
- Click
Save
.
Creating Profile With Your Network in ARK Desktop Wallet
Next, let’s add a profile and link it to that new network.
- Click the
Profile Image
in the bottom left area of the wallet. - Click
Add Profile
. -
Name
your new profile and specify other parameters. - Choose your new
network
as the network of this profile. - Choose
appearance
parameters. You may want to give the wallet a different look to let you know you are in a different profile from the ARK network. - Press
Done
.
Congratulations! You are now connected to your network in the ARK Desktop wallet.
