Your first steps

Connect your wallet, find your tokens, and make your first move.

Open Pulse

What you need

Section titled “What you need”

A wallet is an app that lets you manage tokens and approve what happens to them. You need a Midnight wallet to use Pulse. To bring tokens from Cardano, you also need a Cardano wallet.

Connect your wallet

Section titled “Connect your wallet”

  1. Open Pulse and choose Connect wallet. Use a supported Midnight wallet, such as 1AM or Lace.

  2. Your wallet will ask if Pulse can connect. Read the request and approve it. You may also be asked to sign a message to show that the wallet is yours.

  3. Look at the top of Pulse to check which wallet is connected. If you use Bridge to move tokens from Cardano, connect your Cardano wallet there too.

Find or add tokens

Section titled “Find or add tokens”

Open Portfolio to see how many tokens you have. Tokens in your wallet and tokens in your Pulse private balance are shown separately. Think of these as two places you can keep tokens.

If your tokens are on Cardano, use Moonlight Bridge to move a supported token to Midnight. You also need some ADA in your Cardano wallet to pay the transfer fee.

Make your first move

Section titled “Make your first move”

  1. Choose Swap, Bridge, Stake, Liquidity, or Launch.

  2. Check which tokens you are using, how many, where they will come from, where they will go, and the fees.

  3. Read and approve the request in your wallet. Watch its progress in Pulse. If it is still waiting, check it before starting the same action again.
