Setup Wallet

Unified Account

With the Unified Account system, users can use an Ethereum account to interact with contracts in EVM, Polkadot/Acala Substrate runtime, and a hybrid of these. Euphrates will support Ethereum LST and pools and beyond, so with Unified Account, you set it up once, and can use it for cross-stack cross-chain interactions. Read more here.

Pre-requisites

Ethereum wallet e.g. MetaMask with an account not bound to any Polkadot/Substrate account. (Create a MetaMask Wallet, create an additional account in the Wallet)
Substrate Wallets e.g. Polkadot{js}, Talisman, Subwallet with an account not bound to any Ethereum account. (Create a Substrate Wallet)
ACA in your Substrate Wallet to pay for transaction fees (Fund Your Substrate Wallet)

Set up a Unified Account

Login with a supported Ethereum wallet e.g. MetaMask, Wallet Connect
Login (once) with a Polkadot/Substrate wallet e.g. Polkadot{js}, Talisman, Subwallet
