Getting Started

Getting started with Zeko is designed to be straightforward, leveraging familiar tools from the Mina ecosystem. This section covers setting up your wallet, obtaining the necessary tokens, and connecting to the Zeko network.

Setting up a Wallet

Zeko is mostly isomorphic to Mina, meaning you can use the same tools and libraries as you would for Mina development. This includes using existing front-end browser wallets like Auro Wallet. To use Auro Wallet with Zeko, you need to install it and create a wallet.

DANGER

When creating a new wallet, you will be given a seed phrase. This seed phrase is crucial for accessing your wallet and funds. Write it down and store it in a safe place. Do not share it with anyone. Having access to your seed phrase means having access to your funds.

• If you lose your seed phrase, you will lose access to your wallet and funds.
• If someone else gains access to your seed phrase, they can steal your funds.

Auro Wallet already supports Zeko, so you can use it to interact with Zeko dApps and the network without any additional setup.

Select the Zeko network within your Auro Wallet to interact with Zeko dApps and the network.

Adding the Zeko Network to Other Wallets

If you are using a different wallet that supports custom networks, you can add the Zeko network manually

• Testnet URL: https://testnet.zeko.io

WARNING

Zeko mainnet is not yet available. Stay tuned for updates on the mainnet launch.

Obtaining MINA Tokens

To perform transactions and interact with dApps on Zeko, you will need tMINA tokens.

• Testnet: For testing purposes on the Zeko testnet, you can obtain tMina tokens from the Zeko Faucet.
• Mainnet: Obtain Mina from a cryptocurrency exchange that supports MINA, or from other users.
