These are the primary uses of Corona Wallet:

Sending æid tokens to honest content creators online, good causes, and relief efforts that help alleviate crisis.

Corona wallet is connected to Corona News — an information hub that enables users to share and incentivize informative and accurate updates about the corona virus from different parts of the world, whether created by news organizations or regular people. All æid sent through the Corona wallet are recorded and posted publicly through Corona News.

Once you have the Corona Wallet, visiting Corona News for the first time will trigger a message prompt for connecting your Corona Wallet with Corona News (see image on the left).

Accept this so you can easily send æid to quality content in the Corona News feed.

Why use Corona Wallet?

Unlike other monetization platforms and payment systems, the creators of Corona cannot — and will never be able to—take away anyone’s ability to receive funds from supporters.

All that being said, this wallet uses a different security mechanism than what most people are used to. But there’s no need to worry. Better security does not have to be complicated. We’ll guide you through the process. It’s really easy.

Let’s get started.

Creating your wallet

Find this icon on the upper right hand of your browser bar.

After installing Corona using the steps above, click the Corona icon on the upper right hand corner of your browser tool bar.

2. Read the terms and conditions and tick the box next to it to confirm acceptance. As a first-time user, click Generate new wallet.

You will then make it to your DASHBOARD. Your wallet is created!

If you have used Corona before and want to retrieve your previous wallet, choose Retrieve Existing Account and input your seed phrase. This will take you straight to your DASHBOARD.

Backing up your seed phrase (IMPORTANT)

What is a seed phrase?

The seed phrase is a group of randomly generated words that serve as keys to your account. You can think of this as something like a password, except it’s exponentially more secure.

Why do I need to back it up?

You need your seed phrase in case you need to retrieve your account — such as if you had to reinstall the extension, reformat your computer, etc.

How do I back it up?

The best way to back it up is to write it down on a piece of paper — away from the prying eyes of hackers. Store this paper in a place where no one can find it except for you.

Sending æid

1. Go to the post, comment, blog, or website you want to send æid to. This website should be the active tab in your browser when you open Corona.

2. Open Corona by clicking the icon on the upper right hand corner of your browser tool bar.

3. On your dashboard, click SEND æid.

4. Corona automatically detects the URL on the active browser tab that you are on and assumes that this is who you want to Send æid to.

*Please double-check to make sure that the URL displayed on Corona is the one you want to send æid to.

5. Input the amount of æid you want to send, as well as a message to go along with this æid.

6. Review your transaction carefully. Once you’re satisfied, click Send æid to confirm the transaction.

Receiving æid

To start receiving aid, first you must copy your wallet address. Your wallet address is displayed on your DASHBOARD, right next to your wallet balance. There’s a COPY button for your convenience.

2. Go to your website, blog, or social media profile — where you post content or engage in conversations that people may find worthy of reward (æid).

3. Add your wallet address to your profile pages and save the changes. Make sure that your wallet address is displayed on the web page through which you want to receive æid.

4. Refresh the page to make sure your wallet address is displayed. Open your Corona Wallet again — it will do its magic and all the æid you received through this web page will be added to your wallet balance.

Each time you want to claim the æid you’ve received for every web profile you own, just visit the web profile so Corona can collect the æid automatically.

Repeat this process for all your other web profiles/blogs.

Topping up your wallet

Users can top up by sending AE tokens to their wallet address, which are then converted into æid in the Corona wallet at a 1:1 ratio.

1 AE = 1 æid

To top up your wallet, you need to have an account in a crypto exchange that supports AE tokens.

There is a list of exchanges here where you can trade AE tokens.

Once you have AE tokens, you may send these to your Corona wallet address. You can easily copy your wallet address from your dashboard, or by scanning the QR code from the Top Up option. See below.
