We are proud to present the official Zen Protocol Wallet! This blog post will discuss how to access your tokens at the launch of the Mainnet. Please make sure to keep your tokens secure and that you understand the safety features in place. If you are unsure of anything, please reach out to us on our website, Facebook, or Telegram.

Keeping your funds safe

When you set up a wallet you are given a 24 word mnemonic phrase (seed). Your seed allows you to access your tokens anywhere anytime. Zen Protocol does not have access to any seeds. If you lose the seed there is no way to recover it. Therefore, it is recommended that you keep 2 copies of the seed in different secure locations (i.e. a safe in your home or safety deposit box). Keeping, sharing, or even entering your seed on any digital platform can put your funds at risk if the device you are using is not secure. The Zen Protocol developers have not yet released official hardware wallet integration — If you decide to use your own solution, do so with caution.

Download the latest Zen Protocol Wallet

Remember to only download from our official installer page. Once you have installed a version (later than v0.9.00) your wallet will automatically update you (when opening) if there is a new version. You can ask questions or give feedback about the wallet by posting in our forum ‘Mainnet Wallet’ category.

Where do I access my tokens?

After downloading and opening the latest Zen Protocol Wallet you will see information and important safety instructions for the use of the wallet. Read these explanations carefully before continuing. When you are done, you can follow the steps below to access your tokens and check your balance/transactions:

1) Click “Import Wallet”

Click ‘Import Wallet’

2) Enter your 24 word mnemonic passphrase (seed) that you received in the crowdsale when setting up your wallet.

Once all the fields contain a valid bip39 word and have a blue checkmark, you will be able to click the “Continue” button.

Enter 24-Word Mnemonic Passphrase

3) Choose a password to use when opening your wallet and using or sending tokens. Additionally, you can set the amount of time before your wallet will be automatically logged out.

Create a Password and Set Auto Logout Time

4) Make sure your wallet is connected to the Mainnet and synchronised with the blockchain. You can see the following information in the bottom left corner of the wallet:

Synced to Testnet — Mining

Synced to Mainnet — Not Mining

Chain: mainnet or testnet (testnet is a separate chain for development and testing purposes).

Blocks: # of blocks downloaded locally from the current chain.

Headers: # of blocks validated in the current chain.

Mining Difficulty: The current difficulty of mining.

MTP: “Median Time Past” — the minimum time for all future blocks on this chain.

Connections: # of active nodes you are paired with.

Wallet Version: Current wallet GUI (General User Interface) version — v0.9.0 will be the first Mainnet wallet release.

Node Version: Current node version — v0.9.0 will be the first Mainnet node release.

5) You will be able to see your tokens in your ‘Transactions’ page and ‘Total Balance ZP’ (top right corner).

Lost Your Password?

Your password is used to access your wallet after the seed is imported. If you misplace your password you can follow the instructions on the opening screen (Unlock Your Wallet) in order to ‘wipe’ your wallet. By clicking “Forgot your password? Import your wallet again” your seed will be erased and you will need to enter it again (step 1 above). This will allow you to set a new password.

Misplaced Your Seed?

If you have your password that was created when importing your 24 word seed, but don’t have the seed itself, you can restore your 24-words on the screen in the Settings tab (left side). Click the ‘Show Mnemonic’ button and enter your password. Remember to do so carefully.

Keep Your Funds Safe

Although allowing easy access to your funds and tokens, the 24 word seed (given) and password (created) are the only way to access your funds and are not recoverable if stolen, lost (both), or given to someone else. Please remember that this is the Malkuth stage, and things can go wrong. If you do not need to send tokens we recommend saving your 24 words offline until you decide to access the tokens.

CPU Mining Made Easy

Easily activate the miner with one click in the ‘Settings’ tab.
