Getting started

Create a wallet

1. Open the app and choose Create a new wallet (“Создать новый кошелёк”).
2. The app shows a recovery phrase of 24 words. Write it on paper, in order.
3. Follow the app's steps to check that you have written it down correctly.
4. Set a passcode, and turn on Face ID or Touch ID if you want it.

Restore a wallet

On a new phone choose Enter the recovery phrase (“Ввести секретную фразу”) and type your 24 words. The same phrase gives the same Tint wallet and the same Ethereum-family address.

A restored wallet reads the chain from its first block, so a long chain takes a little time to catch up before the balance appears.

Receive

1. Open Receive (“Получить”) in the bottom bar.
2. Pick the coin or network, then show the QR code or copy the address.
3. A Tint address begins with tint1. Send it, and name the coin you expect.

Test coins are available on the Faucet page: paste your tint1… address, pass the check and get 10 TINT, once every 24 hours per IP address. The coins have no value.

Send

1. Open Send (“Отправить”) on the home screen.
2. Choose the coin, TINT or TUSD, and enter the amount and the recipient's address, or scan their QR code.
3. Add a memo if you like: up to 512 bytes, readable only by the recipient.
4. Check the fee shown and confirm with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode.

The wallet builds the payment and its proof on the phone, which takes a moment, then hands it to a node. The payment is put in a block at once, and the recipient's wallet finds it after that block.

The notes you spend are locked until the block is final, so right after a payment you can send only what is left. The wallet shows what is spendable now.

Swap TINT and TUSD

1. Open Swap (“Обмен”) and choose which coin you pay with.
2. Enter the amount. The wallet shows what you should get at the pool's current price, after the 0.3% pool fee.
3. Confirm. The swap goes to the network like a payment.

If the price moves more than the wallet's allowance before your swap lands, the swap is refused and your coins return to your balance after a few minutes.

Switch networks

The chip at the top of the home screen shows the current network, for example “Tint · тест”. Tap it to see the list: Tint, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum and Polygon.

• On Tint you hold private notes of TINT and TUSD.
• On the four public networks you have one ordinary address, the same on all of them, and can hold USDT and USDC. Those networks are public: nothing on them is hidden, and operations on them are real and cannot be undone.
• Send the sender the network name too: a coin sent on the wrong network does not show up on another one.

Choosing the node

By default the wallet connects to the shared node of the test network, node.tint.top. In Settings you can point it at your own node: see Run a node. Whichever node you use sees the network address your payments come from, and nothing else.

The built-in browser

The wallet has a small browser for one page at a time. Its pages cannot reach the wallet; its data lives in memory only and is dropped when you close it, lock the wallet or press Burn. It blocks ads and trackers and checks each address against a list of known scam sites and imitations of well-known wallets and exchanges, and shows a warning instead of the page.
