Start accepting your Cardano Project Catalyst Innovation funding.

If you have submitted multiple proposals, you should ensure that the funds you receive are properly allocated to the corresponding proposals by providing a unique wallet address for each proposal.

Opening a wallet

1. Find a browser extension Look for Cardano wallet browser extensions in the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons. Some popular browser extension options include Eternl, Typhon or any on the list below; https://eternl.io https://typhonwallet.io https://daedaluswallet.io/ https://yoroi-wallet.com/#/ https://flint-wallet.com/ https://www.lace.io/ https://namiwallet.io/

2. Install the browser extension

   Once you have found a browser extension you would like to use, click on the "Add to Chrome" or "Add to Firefox" button to install it.

3. Create a new wallet After installing the browser extension, you will need to create a new wallet. This involves entering a password and creating a seed phrase. Make sure to keep this seed phrase in a safe and secure place.

4. Backup your wallet After creating your wallet, you will need to backup the seed phrase. This is important in case you lose access to your wallet or your computer crashes.

Receive and send ADA

Receive ADA To receive ADA, you'll need to share your wallet's address with the sender. This can be done by clicking on the browser extension icon, then on the "Receive" tab and then sharing the address of your wallet (usually starting with 'addr'.

Send ADA To send ADA, you'll click on the browser extension icon, then on the "Send" tab, enter the recipient's address, and then specify the amount of ADA you would like to send.

Keep in mind

Browser extensions do not have the same level of security as hardware wallets or software wallets installed on a personal computer, so you should always be careful when using them and not store large amounts of ADA in them.
