Introduction to Nodle Portal

💡

This only applies to the Nodle Legacy Parachain and is not useful when using ZKsync Era.

The Nodle portal is the most comprehensive solution for interacting with the Nodle chain on a web browser. It is based on Polkadot substrate.

However, it is designed for more advanced users and more complex transitions.

💡

We recommend you use the Nodle Client for basic management of your NODL wallet (like viewing your balance and transactions, and sending NODL tokens and NFTs).

To access the Nodle portal, go to https://nodleprotocol.io. Here’s what it looks like:

This is a dashboard view of all your accounts and transactions.

In the Nodle portal, you can create your account, manage your account, send and receive tokens, and define/manage various transactions on the chain as a developer.

Creating Account

On Web Browser

⚠️

Important: Please note that in-browser account creation and storage is NOT secure, and it is done at your own risk. If you’re looking for safer and longer term wallets, then we recommend creating your accounts on the Nodle App or on browser extensions such as Polkadot JS, Ledger, or Talisman.

To create an account on the web browser, follow these steps.

Go to Nodle portal - https://nodleprotocol.io/#/accounts. Select Nodle Mainnet on the top left corner (next to the Nodle logo).

Navigate to Settings. Note that this must be done prior to creating an account.

Under the account options section, turn on in-browser account creation and storage. Select the option, “Allow in-browser account storage” as shown below.

Save your changes.

Navigate to Accounts.

Add a new account by clicking on the + button (+ Account). A pop-window appears.

The system displays a mnemonic seed, by default, as shown in the figure here. If required, you can also store the seeds in the “raw” format by selecting the Raw seed option from the Mnemonic drop-down menu. Store the seed safely and confirm the same by selecting the check box at the bottom.

💡

Note: Select Advanced creation options only if you need to use alternative cryptographic curves for managing your wallet keys. For example, if you are importing your old Nodle App wallet, then you may need to use crypto keys.

Click Next.
Provide account details. Give your account a unique name. Then, enter a strong password.

⚠️

Important: You must use a lengthy and randomly generated password. We recommend you use a password generator. Manual entry of passwords do not work.

Click Next.
Save your account. On clicking Save, a copy of your mnemonic seed is downloaded to your system automatically.

⚠️

Important: Save this file in a safe location. This is crucial when restoring or recovering your wallets.

With Polkadot JS

💡

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

Nodle is built upon Polkadot Substrate, making it compatible with most Polkadot wallets. For this tutorial, we will use the official wallet.

Go to the nodleprotocol.io (Nodle Portal), https://nodleprotocol.io/#/accounts
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) and display “Unknown” as the network. If so, navigate to the top left of your screen and select the Nodle Network from the drop-down menu.
Set up the Polkadot.js extension:
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).
Follow the directions to generate your account, by clicking "+".
Back up your mnemonics. You have generated 12 words. Keep them extremely safe. If you lose these words, all of your funds will be lost. If someone else gets them, they can steal all of your cryptos.
Now that you’ve saved your seed words securely, give your account a name.
Select an appropriate network from the drop-down list. For example, Polkadot Relay Chain or Nodle Parachain.
Add a strong password. You must use a long, randomly generated password (greater than 11 characters).
Now you have an account! Finish up.
Close the window by clicking outside it, and reload the page: You’ll be asked to give permission for the webpage to access the Polkadot-js chrome app. Please allow. If you have closed the webpage, you will be asked to enter your password.
You're all set!

Importing Account

On Web Browser

⚠️

Important: The Polkadot.JS extension may have deactivated in-browser storage by default. In this case you have to go into the settings tab in the top bar and change "in-browser account creation" to allow in the account settings section to be able to import your account.

To import your account on the web, do the following:

Once your words have been safely backed up, go to the Accounts page of the nodleprotocol.io (Nodle Portal) https://nodleprotocol.io/#/accounts
Go on the Web UI and click Add Account.
Give the account a name, then paste your 12 words under mnemonic seed. (Double-check the spelling is correct, and that there aren't any extra spaces). Finally create a password (We recommend using a long, randomly generated password stored in a password manager). Don't Click Next just yet!
If you use a legacy wallet, then Open the Advanced Options at the bottom, and select the Edwards curve.

💡

The Nodle App uses one of the two wallet systems: Legacy or non-Legacy. If you navigate to the screen with your public key by clicking the "Receive" button, the application will indicate whether you are using a Legacy wallet or not. If it does not say anything, you are not using a Legacy wallet.
