How to use Alogrand wallet account

Algorand is supported on D’CENT Wallet running the latest software.

D’CENT Mobile App (v5.25.0 or higher)
◾ Android mobile app
◾ iOS mobile app

D’CENT Biometric Wallet (v.2.29.0 or higher)
◾ Firmware Update

How to create an Algorand account (Main account)

Adding an Algorand account is very easy. Simply click on (+) button at the bottom and search for “Algorand” from the list.

How to create an Algorand Asset account (Token account)

Adding an Algorand Asset account works the same as the method of adding the Algorand main account. An Asset account must be associated with the main Algorand account which pays for the network transaction fee.

How to add non-listed Algorand Asset account (Custom account)

By using the “Add Custom Token” function, users can create accounts for the Algorand Assets that are not listed in the wallet by default.

To add a custom token account, click on (+) button and then click on “Add Custom Token” button.

Next, select which network this token account will exist on. In this case, select ALGORAND (ALGO-ASSET) as the network and set the association to the Algorand main account (the fee account).

On the following screen, enter the correct ID of the ASSET (ie: USDT). The correct ID for any ALGORAND ASSETS can be found by searching the ASSET from the ALGO Explorer. When the correct ID is entered, Symbol and Decimals will be auto-populated. Proceed to finish creating a custom account for the USDT Asset.

Don’t forget to “OPT-in the Asset”!

Creating an ALGORAND ASSET account doesn’t mean you can immediately receive tokens to this account. You must first “OPT-in the Asset”, which requires a transaction on the Algorand network to activate this account.

To start the “OPT-in” process, click on your Asset account (ie: USDC) and then click on “Receive” menu.

Next, click on “Opt in the Asset” button and you will be guided to sign a transaction.

NOTE: Algorand accounts requires minimum balance of 0.1 ALGOS.

Conclusion

The integration of Algorand into D’CENT Wallet represents a significant achievement for both projects. It streamlines the process for users to begin their Algorand journey and harness the full potential of Algorand assets, regardless of their preference for hardware or app wallets.

We eagerly anticipate witnessing users leverage D’CENT Wallet to securely and conveniently store, manage, and utilize Algorand assets. We firmly believe that this integration will expedite the adoption of Algorand and contribute to the growth of the Algorand ecosystem.
