Web Wallet
Install
When Namada is in mainnet, the web wallet will be available in most browser extension web stores. For now, the user can install it from source by following the instructions below.
Installing from source (for development and experiment purposes)
Connect to a testnet or run a local node
- Follow the instructions for the testnets to connect to a testnet or set up a local node.
- Figure out where the base directory is stored and save its location as a variable such as
export BASE_DIR=<path/to/base/dir>. You can follow these docs to save this variable. Go ahead and save the chain id as a variable as well. You can find the chain id by runningcat $BASE_DIR/global-config.toml. Save this chain-id to the variableexport CHAIN_ID=<CHAIN_ID>. - You will need to edit the CometBFT config in order to allow the web wallet to connect to your node.
The CometBFT config will be located in
$BASE_DIR/$CHAIN_ID/cometbft/config/config.toml. You will need to change thecors_allowed_originsfield to["*"]. You can do this by runningsed -i 's/cors_allowed_origins = \[\]/cors_allowed_origins = ["*"]/' \ $BASE_DIR/$CHAIN_ID/cometbft/config/config.toml
