Set up a wallet and add Anubis

AWAKE HELIX Protocol runs on Anubis, an Ethereum-compatible (EVM) chain. You do not need a special new wallet: any EVM wallet that lets you add a custom network will do. This guide covers the preparation only. It does not involve any transfer or approval.

Step 1: Get a wallet ready

1. Pick a wallet

   Choose an EVM wallet you trust that supports adding custom networks (a phone app or a browser extension both work). Download it only from the wallet's official website or an official app store, never from a link forwarded in a group chat or DM.

2. Create or import an account

   A new wallet generates a seed phrase (usually 12 or 24 English words). The seed phrase is full control of the wallet: whoever has it can move everything you own.

3. Back up the seed phrase offline

   Write the words down on paper, in order, and keep the paper somewhere only you know. No screenshots, no photo albums, cloud drives, chat logs or notes apps.

4. Find your address

   Your wallet address starts with 0x and is 42 characters long. The address is public and is what you use to look up on-chain records. The seed phrase and private key must never be shared.

Step 2: Add the Anubis network

Find the option to add a network or a custom network in your wallet (menus differ between wallets, so follow your wallet's own help pages) and fill in the fields below. Apart from the currency symbol, these values match the network configuration of the official dApp.

Check every character, especially the chain ID and the RPC URL. The RPC URL decides where your wallet reads data from and where it sends transactions, so a typo or a swapped-in unknown address is a real risk.

If you connect a wallet on the official dApp, the dApp may ask your wallet to add or switch to Anubis directly. Check the chain ID (6714) and RPC URL in that prompt before you approve it.

Step 3: Fees are paid in DAI

The native coin of Anubis, the one that pays transaction fees (gas), is DAI. You don't need any ETH: holding DAI is enough to pay fees.

The same DAI shows up in three places. It is one balance, not three:

• The native balance of the Anubis network in your wallet. With the currency symbol set to DAI it shows as DAI. If you entered ETH as in the official dApp's configuration, or the dApp added the network for you, it shows as ETH, but it is still DAI.
• On the explorer, the Balance on an address page and the Transaction fee on a transaction page, both shown in DAI.
• The balance on the DAI token contract 0x83fd06F0846d9D90B3016bF670Efe2E0B11cDe14. It is the token form of that same native balance, and it is what Genesis subscriptions and the trading pairs use.

When you transfer or use the protocol, leave a little DAI for the fee: if your wallet holds exactly 100 DAI, you cannot send all 100.

Step 4: Add tokens (optional)

Wallets show only the native coin by default. To see LGNS and other token balances, use your wallet's add token or import token option and paste the contract address. Most wallets fill in the symbol and decimals automatically; check that they match the table. There is no need to add DAI: it is the native coin, and if you add the DAI token contract the same money appears twice in your wallet (once as the native coin, once as a token). Your balance has not doubled.

These addresses come from the official dApp's contract configuration, and each symbol and decimals value was checked on chain. Copy contract addresses only from trusted sources: if someone sends you a "new token address" or an "airdrop token", look it up on the explorer first.

Keep your seed phrase and private key to yourself

• Your seed phrase and private key belong with you only. No website, support agent, group admin or "technical helper" ever has a reason to ask for them.
• This site never asks for a seed phrase or private key and never sends transactions. Anyone claiming to be from this site who asks for them is a scammer.
• Never type your seed phrase into a web page. Only your wallet app or extension needs it, and only when restoring a wallet.
• Consider keeping larger holdings in a separate wallet and using a smaller one for day-to-day actions.
