Interacting with Moonbeam Using MathWallet

Introduction

MathWallet announced that is now natively supporting each of the Moonbeam-based networks. This means that you are now able to interact with any of the networks using another wallet besides MetaMask.

In this tutorial, we'll go through how to setup MathWallet to connect to each of the networks: Moonbeam, Moonriver, and Moonbase Alpha. We'll also present a brief example of using MathWallet as a Web3 provider for other tools such as Remix.

After you are connected to Moonbase Alpha, you can now create a wallet to get an account and start interacting with the TestNet. Currently, there are three ways to add a wallet:

  • Create a wallet
  • Import an existing wallet using a mnemonic or private key
  • Connect hardware wallet (not supported for now)

Create a Wallet

The following steps for creating a wallet can be modified for Moonbeam and Moonriver.

To create a new wallet, click the ➕ sign next to Moonbase Alpha and select Create Wallet.

Using MathWallet

MathWallet serves as a Web3 provider in tools such as Remix. By having MathWallet connected to Moonbase Alpha or Moonriver, you can deploy contracts as you would like using MetaMask, signing the transactions with MathWallet instead.

For example, in Remix, when deploying a smart contract to Moonbase Alpha, make sure you select the Injected Web3 option in the ENVIRONMENT menu. If you have MathWallet connected, you will see the TestNet chain ID just below the box (1287) and your MathWallet account injected into Remix as well. When sending a transaction, you should see a similar pop-up from MathWallet:

MathWallet sign transaction

By clicking on Accept you are signing this transaction, and the contract will be deployed to the Moonbase Alpha TestNet.
