Networks on Enkrypt
Enkrypt supports dozens of blockchain networks natively. Switching between them is effortless and easily accessible after adding the network to your favorites on the dashboard. You can also add a custom EVM network using the network's RPC information.
Pin Favorite Networks to Dashboard
To interact with networks on Enkrypt, you can search the full list of supported networks at any time and pin favorite networks to the dashboard for quick access.
Unlock your Enkrypt wallet by entering in your password.
Search for the network you want to pin then hover over it in the network list and click the pin icon.
Now you can easily find the network in the 'Pinned' tab or at the bottom of the other pinned networks in the 'All' tab.
Adding supported testnets
Testnets ('practice' versions of blockchains where developers and users can test applications) are not shown in the dashboard by default, but you can add them with a few clicks.
To add a testnet to your Dashboard:
Unlock your Enkrypt wallet by entering in your password.
Click on the 3 dots at the top of the extension.
Click on the ‘Other networks’ option.
Search the network that you want to add.
When you find the network, click to toggle it on. Add as many as you need.
Click on the ‘X’ on the top right hand corner when you’re done adding network(s).
The network(s) you picked should now display on your dashboard side menu. Once you’ve added all the networks you need, you can go straight to a specific network easily by clicking on it on your Dashboard or by using the search option.
Please note: Account addresses for all EVM (Ethereum-based) networks will be the same, but on non-EVM networks like Bitcoin, Solana, and Polkadot account addresses will look different. However, ALL addresses in Enkrypt are derived from the same recovery phrase you received when you created the wallet.
Adding a custom EVM network via RPC
You can add any EVM network to Enkrypt even if it's not natively supported in Enkrypt using the custom network setting.
1. Click on the 3 dot icon at the top of the extension.
2. Click on the Other networks options.
3. On the pop-up window, click the plus icon button in the upper right.
4. Add your network's RPC information and click Add network. In this example we are adding KCC Mainnet (KCS).
If you don't have this info for your network, you can try to find it by searching '[network name] RPC info' on Google or by contacting the chain's team directly.
5. The network should now appear in your network list on the dashboard under the 'Pinned' tab. You can reorder the networks in this list manually if you want the new network to be on top.
NFTs in Enkrypt
Enkrypt supports NFTs (non-fungible tokens) on multiple networks. To learn more about NFTs, see 'What are non-fungible tokens (NFTs)?'.
To interact with your NFTs,
Enter your Enkrypt password to unlock your wallet.
Select the network that you want to connect to on the left hand side menu.
For help finding networks, please see the Networks section of this article.
Click on NFTs (diamond icon)
If you don't see the NFT icon, that means that there is no NFT support on that network at this time,
Here you’ll be able to view your NFTs. In this section, users can
Add the NFT to favorites.
Hide your NFTs so they won't be seen on the main screen. Hidden NFTs can be found in the ‘Hidden’ section at the bottom of the page. Scroll down the page and click ‘Hidden’. Then hover over the NFT that you want to un-hide and click on the 3 horizontal dots. Click ‘Show’.
The NFT tab will show all of the NFTs associated with this address held on the network that you’re using. If you’re missing a NFT, make sure that you’re on the correct network for that NFT.
Click on an NFT to view details about it or send it to a different address.
Interacting with DApps
Enkrypt users can connect their wallet to web DApps like decentralized exchanges, NFT marketplaces, DeFi platforms, staking platforms, and more, across multiple networks.
To learn more about DApps, see What are DApps?.
To interact with DApps using Enkrypt:
Select the network that you want to use (Polygon used in the example below).
Click on the DApps tab on the bottom righ (the squares icon), and then select one of the featured DApps. You will be taken to the DApp website. Alternatively, navigate to any desired web DApp on your browser. You'll be able to connect your Enkrypt wallet by locating the DApp's 'Connect wallet' or 'Sign in' button.
Some things to keep in mind:
If Enkrypt doesn't connect to the DApp automatically, you need to find the ‘Connect wallet’ button within the DApp and choose Enkrypt from the presented options. If you don't see Enkrypt in the options, choosing 'web3 wallet' or 'MetaMask' should work.
If you need to change networks, you should only need to do it in Enkrypt and not in the DApp interface.
You can choose any wallet account on the appropriate network to interact with DApps.
When completing transactions in the DApp, you’ll need to confirm them in the Enkrypt interface.
If you have multiple web3 extension wallets installed, these may conflict with Enkrypt when connecting to DApps, leading to unstable performance. For best results, disable other web3 extension wallets to use Enkrypt with DApps. If disabling doesn't help, uninstall other extensions. You may need to disable/enable Enkrypt extension as well before proceeding.
You can also 'pause' Enkrypt temporarily to use other web3 Ethereum or Polkadot wallets. To do so, go to Settings -> General and select 'Turn off Ethereum for 1 hour' or 'Turn off Polkadot js injection'.
