Interface Overview

Last updated 23 days ago

1. Your Wallet Address

Your wallet address string, starting with 0x. Your wallet address is analogous to your bank account number. Other users will need to know it to make payments and send funds to you.

2. Copy Wallet Address

A quick way for you to copy your public wallet address to your clipboard.

3. Manually Refresh Balance

You can use this button to manually refresh/update your balance - in most cases, your balance will update automatically after you receive or send a transaction, but sometimes it may take a few seconds after the transaction is confirmed before that actually happens.

4. Your Balance

Your wallet balance, in R5.

5. Receive Funds

Opens a modal with a QR code and your wallet address. You can use this to send your address to a person that wants to send you funds or make you a payment.

6. Transaction History

Opens your wallet page on the network's block explorer to list all of your wallet's past transactions. There you will be able to confirm your balance among other things.

7. Export Wallet File

Exports an encrypted wallet file that can only be decrypted with your password. You can use this tool to backup your wallet, but be careful, as anyone with access to your password will also be able to decrypt your private key. Easy-to-guess passwords can also be brute-forced, so use a strong password with your wallet.

8. Show Private Key

Displays a modal with your wallet's private key. Use this carefully, as anyone that can screenshot or steal your private key will also be able to control your wallet.

9. Reset Wallet

USE THIS WITH CAUTION! This will reset your wallet and allow you to either create a new wallet or import an existing one using a wallet file or a private key.

10. About

Displays basic information about the software name, description, version, etc.

11. Lock Wallet

Locks your wallet and sends you back to the login screen. It's recommended you close your app or lock your wallet every time you finish using it.
