Create a wallet account

info

If you check your newly created account on Subscan, it won't show up until you deposit some Nodle Cash tokens.

TL;DR​

Go to https://nodleprotocol.io/#/accounts, select Nodle Mainnet, and install the Polkadot chrome extension to create an account.

Background​

Nodle has migrated from the Stellar blockchain to our own, native Nodle Chain. Nodle is built upon Parity Substrate, and if you’re interested you can read a lot more about how it works here. We decided to migrate for a couple of reasons; primarily being that with a native blockchain, we can enable the features outlined in our Nodle white paper (like proof of connectivity, and our own decentralized PKI), while maintaining control over our own destiny. Stellar enabled us to build a powerful MVP (Minimum Viable Product) and prove that we could build a business around incentivized IoT connectivity. It’s time for the next step. It is our pleasure to introduce the Nodle Chain. The Nodle chain is faster, more decentralized, and add more utility to your Nodle Cash Cryptocurrency (Like built in, decentralized certificates).

How to Create a Native Nodle Wallet​

Nodle is built upon Polkadot Substrate, making it compatible with most Polkadot wallets. For this tutorial, we will use the official wallet. Ledger support is coming soon, and we will update accordingly.

Step 1: Go to the nodleprotocol.io (Nodle Portal)​

https://nodleprotocol.io/#/accounts

nodleprotocol.io

Note: We recommend using a Chrome based browser like Chrome or Brave. If you are using Brave (which you should be) please turn off ‘shields’ as it can cause errors.

Step 2: Make Sure You are Connecting to The Nodle Chain Mainnet​

Sometimes the Wallet will default to another blockchain (As we interoperate with the Polkadot Ecosystem. If So Go to the top left and select the Nodle Network".

Change Network

Step 3: Set Up the Polkadot.js Extension:​

  1. There are a few ways to create an account; we are going to recommend the most user-friendly way.
  2. Install the Polkadot-js extension, which is similar to Ethereum’s Metamask, except it doesn't do this.
  3. Install the chrome extension: Install Extension

Step 4: Create an Account​

Now, go back to the wallet and reload. There may be a popup asking for your permission to connect.

If the Polkadot Add on is not showing, Simply click Extensions, and pin to your browser (Then click the extension to open)
