Add the extension in Chrome

While you build or test: open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, click Load unpacked, and pick the dist folder from your build.

For users: install from the Chrome Web Store like any other extension.

• Tip: after a code change, run build again, then refresh the extension on the extensions page.

Open the side panel

Click the NixWallet icon in the Chrome toolbar. The wallet opens on the side of the browser. It stays there while you use other sites.

• If nothing opens, check that the extension is turned on in chrome://extensions.

First time: set up your wallet

You can create a new wallet or import keys you already have.

• Password — locks the wallet and protects your saved data.
• Seed phrase — 12 words. Write them down and store them safely. They are the backup for your wallet.
• Never share your seed or password with anyone.

When you finish, you land on the home screen.

The dashboard

This is your main screen after you unlock. You see balances, quick actions, and tabs at the bottom.

• Tokens — coins and tokens you care about.
• Activity — wallet-native, injected dApp, and WalletConnect transaction history.
• Discover — links to learn more about the ecosystem.

Wrap a token (shield)

Wrap turns a normal testnet token into a private form. The amount is handled with encryption on the network side.

• Open Wrap / Unwrap, pick a token, enter an amount.
• You may need to approve once so the contract can move your token.
• After it works, you can reveal your private balance on the home screen when you want.

Send tokens or ETH

Open Send. Choose ETH or a token. Paste the receiver address. Enter the amount. Check the details, then confirm.

• You can send in a normal way or use private flows where the app supports it.
• Always double-check the address. Wrong address means lost funds.

Receive funds

Open Receive. You see your address and a QR code. Share the address or let someone scan the code.

• Use the dashboard ETH Faucet (Google Sepolia) or USDC Faucet (Circle) links under public balances, or any testnet faucet for gas.
• On Sepolia or Base Sepolia, wrap ETH → cETH from the ETH card, then reveal and send confidential cETH.
• Only send testnet assets to this address when you are on testnet.

Chat with NixBot

Tap Nix Bot on the dashboard. Type what you want in plain language — NixBot parses it, runs checks, shows a preview, and waits for your confirmation before any transaction.

• send 10 usdc to alice — resolves saved names from your address book.
• private send 5 cusdc to 0x... — confidential transfer.
• wrap 0.3 eth / unwrap 2 cusdc — shield or unshield tokens.
• claim all usdc — batch claim pending unshields in one tx.
• check balance usdc — shows public and private balance together.
• switch network base sepolia — change chain by name.

Manage tokens

Use Manage tokens to add tokens you use often. You can browse suggested tokens or add by contract address.

• In your wallet — ideas from the chain or lists where discovery is available.
• Saved — tokens you chose to keep in the list.
• Use search when the list is long.

Activity tab

Open the Activity tab on the home screen. You see a history of sends, wraps, dApp submissions, WalletConnect submissions, and other actions.

• Tap a link to open a block explorer and see the transaction on the web.
• Helps you prove what happened during a demo or debug.

Settings

Open the gear icon. Here you tune how the wallet behaves.

• Security — auto-lock time, clear history, show seed (needs password), delete wallet.
• Address book — save names next to addresses for faster sends.
• Networks — switch between Ethereum Sepolia, Base Sepolia, and Arbitrum Sepolia.
• Connected DApps — review origins, revoke access, and manage WalletConnect sessions.
• About — version and links.

DApp requests stay in NixWallet

The companion dApp is a reference for external dApp developers: it calls NixWallet’s provider; NixWallet owns connect, sign, typed data, and transaction approval.

• Click Connect NixWallet — the approval appears in the extension, not in the dApp page.
• Unlock first — approval is blocked while locked.
• Activity — submissions from the dApp show up in NixWallet’s Activity tab with decoded labels where possible.

You are ready

That is the full path: install → open → set up → home → wrap → send → receive → NixBot → tokens → activity → settings → dApp approvals.

Try the app on the supported testnets, open the README on GitHub for setup, or continue to the next slide for links and a thank-you.

THANK YOU

Thanks for your time. Questions and feedback welcome.
