Using the Wallet

A practical guide to everyday workflows in Keythings Wallet: viewing balances, sending and receiving funds, switching networks, and working with connected dApps.

Wallet Overview

Keythings Wallet is a non-custodial browser extension for the Keeta Network. Once installed and set up, the popup interface surfaces all the information you need to monitor balances, review activity, and approve transactions.

Main Views

  • Tokens: See your base KTA balance and any additional tokens, with per-token symbols and decimals.
  • Activity: Inspect historical transactions (send, receive, token mints, permission updates) with timestamps and explorer links.
  • Networks: Quickly confirm which Keeta environment you are connected to (testnet, mainnet, or custom RPC).
  • Connected Sites: Review which dApps currently have access to your wallet.

Viewing Balances

The Tokens tab shows your balances in human-readable units. You can:

  • See total KTA and token balances for the selected account.
  • Drill into an asset to view its on-chain metadata (symbol, decimals, description).
  • Click through to the Keeta explorer for the backing account or token address.

Receiving Funds

  1. Open Keythings Wallet from the browser toolbar.
  2. Ensure the Network is set to the environment you expect (e.g. testnet).
  3. From the main account view, click Receive.
  4. Copy your account address or use the QR code to share it.
  5. Provide this address to the sender or dApp initiating the transfer.

Funds sent to the wrong network (for example, mainnet vs testnet) will not appear in the same account view. Always double-check the network before sharing your address.

Sending Funds

  1. Open the wallet and confirm you are unlocked.
  2. Navigate to the Send flow from the Tokens or Activity tab.
  3. Enter the recipient's Keeta address carefully. Avoid copy-paste from untrusted sources.
  4. Select the token to send and enter the amount.
  5. Review the estimated network fee and total.
  6. Confirm the transaction in the approval modal.

After approval, the transaction moves into a pending state and then settles once included on-chain. You can track status and finality from the Activity tab and the Keeta explorer.

Switching Networks

Keythings Wallet supports multiple Keeta environments (such as testnet and mainnet). To switch:

  1. Open the wallet and locate the current network name in the header.
  2. Click the network selector.
  3. Choose the desired network (for example, Testnet while developing).

The account address can be network-specific depending on your configuration. Balances and activity will update to reflect the newly selected network.

Managing Connected dApps

dApps connect to the wallet through a simplified permission system. Each site receives capabilities that define whether it can read wallet data, send transactions, or both.

Review Existing Connections

  1. Open Keythings Wallet.
  2. Navigate to Connected Sites or the equivalent section in the settings menu.
  3. For each origin, review whether it has read-only access or full read + transactpermissions.
  4. Revoke access for any site you no longer use or trust.

Connecting to a New dApp

  1. Open the dApp in a supported browser (for example, http://localhost:3000 in development).
  2. Click its Connect Wallet button.
  3. When Keythings Wallet pops up, carefully read the permissions being requested.
  4. Approve or reject the connection. If you are unsure, choose read-only or cancel and investigate the dApp further.

Understanding Activity

The Activity tab acts as your ledger inside the wallet. For each item you can typically see:

  • Whether the operation sent or received tokens, or performed some other action.
  • The token amounts and any associated fees.
  • Timestamps and a link to the corresponding Keeta block(s).

For long histories, the wallet paginates results so you can load more activity on demand without impacting performance.

Safety Checklist

  • Keep your browser and the Keythings extension updated.
  • Lock the wallet when stepping away from your machine.
  • Double-check recipient addresses and networks before sending.
  • Periodically review and prune connected dApps.
  • Never share your seed phrase or private keys with anyonethe wallet team will never ask for them.
