Updating the metadata
1) Go to polkadot.js
2) Select settings
3) Select Metadata
4) Click update Metadata (on the right)
5) In the pop-up window press “Yes, do the metadata update”.
Selecting a network to view the balance
1) Go to: https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fapi-kusama.interlay.io%2Fparachain#/explorer
2) Click on the Kintsugi icon.
3) Then scroll down and look for KintsugiBTC.
4) In the KintsugiBTC settings select “via Kintsugi Labs”
Where to view tokens in wallet polkadot.js
1) In the panel select Developer
2) Select Chain state
3) Click on the selected state request and select tokens
4) A new window will open up
5) First, click on the highlighted area shown on the screenshot.
6) Select the KINT token in the window that opens
7) Click the + (Plus) icon on the right side
8) An additional window has opened with your balance! Congratulations!
Free — indicates KINT tokens that can be moved.
Frozen — indicates KINT tokens that are frozen; i.e vested.
9) Don’t forget to select the Kintsugi network in your wallet as well.
Otherwise your balance will show zero.
Transferring KINT tokens to the Gate.io exchange
⚠️ Important: At the end of your token transfer, write down / save the block hash of the transaction! (see Step 3 below). Don’t close your browser / tab before you do this! Otherwise you will need to manually find your transaction in Polkadot.js .
⚠️You need to keep a very small amount of KINT (0.000000,001 Kintore 1000 pico KIT) in your account as an additional deposit (for now).
⚠️You can only transfer tokens that have been unlocked! Available for transfer = free — frozen
1) Update the metadata according to the guide:
ССЫЛКА НА ОБНОВЛЕНИЕ В МЕТАДАННЫХ
2) Choose Kintsugi network in your wallet — otherwise you won’t get the buttons you need⚠️
3) In the panel select Developer
4) Select Extrinsics
5) In the field to send the next extrinsic search and select — tokens
6) Change values in fields 1 and 2
А — change it to transfer()
⚠️Be careful not to mix up transferAll()
B— change to KINT token
7) In the field below insert your address from the exchange, i.e. Gate.io
8) Find a Spot account on the Gate.io exchange. Find Deposit.
9) Copy the address below (your own)
10) Insert it in the dest field (see step 7 above)
11) Next, in the amount item on the lower slide Step 6, select the number of tokens to send
12) Click Submit Transaction on the lower slide Step 7
Important: Write down / save your transaction block hash!
Viewing and saving transaction information
1) Go to Developer > RPC Calls.
2) Author item (selected by default) you can see a list of events for your accounts.
3) Copy and save the content. Make sure you have author and submitAndWatchExtrinsic enabled and save the content to your computer (recommended).
4) The data in the field will look something like this:
{
dispatchInfo: {
weight: 594,000,000
class: Normal
paysFee: Yes
}
events: [
{
phase: {
ApplyExtrinsic: 2
}
event: {
method: Transfer
section: tokens
index: 0x0702
data: [
{
Token: KINT
}
a3df…….FU
a3ct…….tg
100,000,000
]
}
topics: []
}
{
phase: {
ApplyExtrinsic: 2
}
event: {
method: ExtrinsicSuccess
section: system
index: 0x0000
data: [
{
weight: 594,000,000
class: Normal
paysFee: Yes
}
]
}
topics: []
}
]
status: {
InBlock: 0x73d7af…….
}
}
It shows a list of events, including the transfer you just made — here you can also see the sender and recipient accounts, as well as the amount of KINT sent (in piko KINT).
5) At the bottom of the window you will find the status and InBlock fields — this shows you the block hash of the block your transfer was included in.
6) Use the block hash to find the block in Polkadot.js — for example, if you need help with your transaction.
How to find a transfer transaction
1) Go to the tab with the Kintsugi network enabled in Polkadot.js ⬅️
2) Enter (A) the block hash or (B) your transaction block number.
(See step 5 and 6 above — you need to save this when you make the transfer!).
3) You will see all the events in this block. Check tokens.Transfer to find your transaction (search function is not available yet).
