Connect Your Wallet
Aruvi works with standard Ethereum wallets. If you've used DeFi before, this will feel familiar.
Supported Wallets
MetaMask (Recommended)
MetaMask is the most tested wallet with Aruvi. If you're new to crypto, start here.
Don't have MetaMask?
- Go to metamask.io
- Install the browser extension
- Create a new wallet (write down your seed phrase somewhere safe!)
- You're ready
Other Wallets
These should also work, though we've tested less thoroughly:
- Rabby — works great, nice UI
- Coinbase Wallet — browser extension version
- WalletConnect — for mobile wallets
Hardware wallets like Ledger work too, but you'll need to enable "blind signing" for the encrypted transactions.
Connecting
- Click Connect Wallet in the top right
- Pick your wallet from the list
- Approve the connection in your wallet
The app will ask to connect to Sepolia testnet. This is important — Aruvi runs on Sepolia for now, not Ethereum mainnet.
Network Setup
If your wallet doesn't have Sepolia configured, the app will offer to add it. Click approve and you're set.
Manual setup (if needed):
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Network Name | Sepolia |
| RPC URL | https://rpc.sepolia.org |
| Chain ID | 11155111 |
| Currency Symbol | ETH |
| Block Explorer | https://sepolia.etherscan.io |
Getting Sepolia ETH
You need a tiny bit of Sepolia ETH to pay for transaction gas. It's free:
- Sepolia Faucet — requires Alchemy account
- Infura Faucet — quick and easy
- Google Cloud Faucet — no login needed
Request 0.1 ETH. That's plenty for hundreds of test transactions.
Troubleshooting
"Wrong network" error Click the network switcher in MetaMask and select Sepolia.
Connection keeps failing Try refreshing the page, or disconnect and reconnect your wallet.
Transactions stuck pending Gas might be too low. In MetaMask, you can speed up or cancel pending transactions.
What About Privacy?
Your wallet address is still visible when you connect — that's how Ethereum works. What's private is the amounts you send and receive. Nobody can see your balance or transaction values.
Think of it like this: people can see that you went to the store, but they can't see what you bought or how much you spent.
