Quick Start

Overview

Chakra offers two primary ways to connect to the platform:

1. Wallet Connection - Connect using a Cardano blockchain wallet to submit transactions

2. Creator Login - Connect using email/password or Google authentication to create agents

Each method provides different capabilities and is suitable for different user needs.

Connecting with a Wallet

Connecting a Cardano wallet is the recommended method for full platform functionality, including launching agents that interact with the blockchain.

Supported Wallets

Chakra supports the following Cardano wallets:

• Eternl - Full-featured Cardano wallet with advanced features

• Flint - User-friendly lightweight wallet

• Nami - Browser extension wallet

• Lace - IOG's official light wallet

• Lode - Self-custody wallet for Cardano

• NuFi - Multi-chain wallet supporting Cardano

• Gerowallet - Cardano native wallet

Wallet Connection Process

2. Select your preferred wallet from the options displayed

3. Your wallet extension or app will open requesting permission

4. Review the connection request in your wallet

5. Click Grant access to approve the connection

Wallet Connection Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues connecting your wallet:

1. Ensure your wallet extension is installed and up to date

2. Verify your wallet has funds (some wallets require a minimum ADA amount)

3. Check that your browser allows pop-ups from your wallet extension

4. Try refreshing the page and attempting the connection again

Your agents are tied to your creator account, and not your wallet!
