To interact with EWT using your Ledger device, you have to use the EnergyWebChain app on your Ledger device, not the Ethereum app. If you do not have this app installed, you can use Ledger Live to install it.
After accessing your Ledger device with MyCrypto, you will notice that a list of different addresses will show up instead of the addresses that you would see if you were connected to the Ethereum network. You are free to use these for your Energy Web Tokens.
If you have accidentally sent EWT to your Ethereum addresses previously, you can still access these by clicking the drop-down field next to "Addresses" and selecting the "Ledger (ETH)" option.
You will see your Ethereum addresses displayed alongside their EWT funds.
Access your Trezor device like usual. You will notice that a list of different addresses will show up, instead of the addresses that you would see if you were connected to the Ethereum network. You are free to use these for your Energy Web Tokens.
If you have accidentally sent EWT to your Ethereum addresses previously, you can still access these by clicking the drop-down field next to "Addresses" and selecting the "TREZOR (ETH)" option.
You will see your Ethereum addresses displayed alongside their EWT funds.
Energy Web has developed the EWT Bridged (EWTB) token, which is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. You can mint EWTB tokens through its interface which you can find at bridge.energyweb.org. This method allows you to transfer EWT from the Energy Web Chain to the Ethereum blockchain.
If your Ethereum address contains EWTB tokens, you might not see them in your interface right away. In this case, you have to manually add this token as a custom token.
The contract address of EWTB is 0x178c820f862b14f316509ec36b13123da19a6054, you can also find this address on Etherscan.
A cryptocurrency wallet is a digital wallet to manage your cryptocurrency. Just like you need an email address to manage your online communication, you need a cryptocurrency wallet to manage your crypto.
A cryptocurrency wallet has two keys, a public and a private key. Your public key is also called a receive address and you send it to people to receive cryptocurrency. Just like you send your email address to people to receive an email message. A private key gives you full rights and full access to your wallet. It is extremely important that only you have access to your private key and that you don’t share this with anyone. This is the key to your wallet, similar to a password to your email account. Here you can read more about private keys.
is a browser extension and a mobile app that handles blockchain account management and helps users securely interact with web dApps. It’s supported in Chrome, Brave, and Safari browsers, as well as it is available for Android and iOS devices. By default, you can connect to the Ethereum Mainnet or any of the Ethereum test network.
You can find the latest version of MetaMask at their .
For help using MetaMask, visit the Metamask .
For up-to-the-minute news, follow their or pages.
To interact from your browser with Energy Web or the testnet Volta, you need to add settings to Metamask and point it to the right network.
MetaMask is compatible with any blockchain that uses an Ethereum-compatible . This is why we can connect to the Energy Web mainnet and the Volta testnet with MetaMask via a custom Remote Procedure Call (RPC). We provide directions on how to do this . By default, MetaMask connects to the blockchain using and nodes. This allows you to connect with the blockchain without having to run a node yourself.
MetaMask was designed as both an Ethereum-compatible wallet and a method for decentralized application (dApp) verification.
Store and transfer Ethereum compatible (ERC20) tokens
Connect to other Ethereum-based blockchains using a remote procedure call (RPC)
Store and transfer utility tokens for other Ethereum-based blockchains, like the Energy Web Chain. (You must be connected to that blockchain network to do this.)
Authenticate into Dapps and sign transactions. The key-pair for each account generated by MetaMask serves as your cryptographic signature
Connect to a hardware wallet and initiate transactions using an account on the hardware wallet
It's important to understand that MetaMask provides user sovereignty in Ethereum-based decentralized applications. Instead of having a separate username and password for each decentralized application that you interact with, you can authenticate into all of them using your account(s) in MetaMask. MetaMask accounts are initialized by you and are under your authority.
