Connect Your Cosmos SDK Chain to Leap Wallet

Connect Your Cosmos SDK Chain to Leap Wallet

In this tutorial you will need:

  • A Cosmos SDK Chain Running (we will launch one)
  • Leap Wallet Chrome Extention Leap Wallet Link

To get started, lets build a quick blockchain using Ignite CLI

(Note: for this tutorial I am using Ignite Version 0.26.1)

If you do not have Ignite installed, you can do with this command:

curl https://get.ignite.com/cli@v0.26.1 | bash
sudo mv ignite /usr/local/bin 

Once installed we can scaffold our chain with one command:

ignite scaffold chain alpha --address-prefix alpha

Once complete, let's launch our chain:

cd alpha
ignite chain serve

Install Leap Wallet Chrome Extention if you have not done so already.

Leap Wallet Link

Once your chain is launched you will see it provides a mnemonic for both alice and bob, load either of them to your leap wallet to import the account.

DO NOT Click on Create New Wallet, instead click "Using a recover phrase"

From our command line we can use our chains alphad binary to check to see Alice' stake token balance to see if she received the funds. (Note: my alice address will be difference then yours)

alphad query bank balances alice-address
