Potential issues with sharing viewing keys

One way to share your Secret Token data is to share your viewing keys, which third parties can use to look up your financial details.

However, we strongly recommend only sharing your Secret Token viewing keys when absolutely necessary. Instead, use your viewing keys to generate an overview of your financial details using the tools we’ll discuss below and share these.

This way, you maximize your privacy and security and save yourself the hassle of creating new viewing keys to revoke viewing access.

How to share your Secret Token details

Method #1: Crypto Clerk

CryptoClerk is an all-in-one dashboard to manage all your assets on Secret Network: your SCRT, staking rewards, Secret Tokens, and Secret NFTs.

• Click on the “Select Token” button
• Select the Secret (SNIP-20) Token you’d like to get a transactional history of
• Click on “Get Transaction History”

Tada 🎉 Now you have your full transactional history for this Secret Token. You can get the CSV file to share by clicking on the “Download [sToken] Transaction History” button.

Method #2: The Trivium SNIP-20 tool

Trivium is another super easy tool to create transactional overviews of your Secret Tokens.
