User Flows

This guide covers the main actions available in the Ekiden Wallet browser extension, from creating a wallet to approving transactions and managing networks.

​

First open

No vault yet. The splash offers Create wallet and Import seed. Create asks them to write down the 12 words, confirm, choose a party name (ekiden-<name>), and set a password. Import asks for the same phrase, then the same party name. The name has to match the party that was allocated with that seed. Fingerprint-only restore does not find the party on this ledger.

​

Unlock

The vault exists and the session is locked. Password, then Unlock. Sign out / remove wallet deletes the local vault. The seed still restores it.

​

Home

After unlock: party, network, balances. Send, receive, and settings hang off this screen. Incoming transfer instructions show as offers the user can accept or reject.

​

A website connects

The site calls connect. The extension opens an approval with the origin and the dApp name. Signing a message and submitting a transaction are the same popup family, with the payload summarized. If the user rejects, the site receives “User rejected request” (4001 on the CIP-0103 path). If they accept a transaction, the wallet signs and submits, then the site sees executed and an updateId.

​

Network

The user picks the network in the wallet. A dApp cannot switch it. A network marked coming soon cannot create or use an account.

​

Lock and remove

Lock ends the session and returns to Unlock. Sign out removes the vault from this browser profile.
