Onboarding
This guide is written with SubWallet's mobile app in mind. If you are using another wallet on mobile (e.g., Talisman) or are a web/computer user (using e.g., polkadot{.js}), you can easily adapt the instructions accordingly to the wallet/platform you are using.
Quick guide
Make sure you are an E-Resident/citizen with correct number of merits on the main website.
Install SubWallet, create a wallet, and save the passphrase on paper.
Click on Profile, claim onboarding LLD, and update identity.
You will then get your merits transferred to your blockchain wallet in about one business day.
Step-by-step guide
Setting up your identity on the Liberland Blockchain requires roughly 3 minutes and consists of a few steps:
Setting up a wallet
Securing your keys
Getting merits and residency on the website
Associating the wallet address with your profile
Claiming merits and E-Residency/citizenship on chain
1. Set up a wallet
A wallet address is your public address on the blockchain. It comes with a seed phrase—12 words that are the keys to your on-chain existence.
Use SubWallet, polkadot{.js}, or Talisman as your wallet software based on your platform:
2. Secure keys
During wallet setup, you got a 12-word mnemonic seed phrase. Store it somewhere where it will not be lost nor found by someone else.
It is very important not to lose that phrase or share it with anyone, as it is the only key or "password" to your on-chain existence.
A common, low-tech solution is to write it on a piece of paper and put it in a safe, or to use a password manager. Taking a photo of it on your phone or the like is not recommended because it is mostly likely not encrypted and someone else might see it.
3. Get merits and E-Residency/citizenship
Go to the Dashboard of the main website.
If you do not see accurate values, contact whomever promised you merits or E-Residency/citizenship status to resolve the inaccuracy.
4. Associate wallet address with your profile
Now it's time to associate your wallet address with your profile like so:
Click on Edit profile on the Dashboard of the main website.
Copy your wallet address from the wallet software:
Click Save changes.
At this point, you should have your public wallet address generated, your 12-word mnemonic phrase safely stored, and your Liberland profile updated with the correct number of merits and E-Residency/citizenship status and your wallet address associated on the website.
5. Claim merits and status on chain
If on the web, do the next steps using the browser you have SubWallet, polkadot{.js}, or Talisman installed on (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, etc.).
If on a mobile device, you must use the SubWallet app's built-in browser located in bottom menu in the app. The button says dApps.
It's time to claim your tokens and E-Resident/citizen identity! Open the menu and click on the Profile button.
Since all actions on-chain cost a small amount of gas fees and you are already an E-Resident, you are eligible for a small amount of LLD to get you started.
First, click the Claim complimentary LLD button. After a few seconds, it should tell you to refresh the page and you should have LLD 2 so that you can begin using the blockchain right away.
Click Update identity, and set it to what you want your on-chain identity to be.
Note: There is no requirement to use your real name, but make sure to include your correct citizenship/E-Residency status.
After you click Set identity, as with any on-chain transaction, a popup window from your wallet of choice should appear, and it will ask you to sign the transaction. Sign the transaction and you are good to go.
Note: Some browsers might prevent popup windows, so make sure to click on the wallet extension icon if you see no popup.
After this, it usually takes approximately one day for the Ministry of Interior to confirm your on-chain identity and transfer your merits.
Please wait patiently for the on-chain identity and transfer process to be completed, as it is a manual process at this time.
