Onboarding Chia with the Frodo Wallet and a free Namesdao NFT name


Getting Started

One of the best ways to join Chia is to use the Frodo Wallet. In this video and blog, I go through the following:

  1. Download the Frodo Wallet and create a Chia Wallet
    You can get more information about the Frodo Wallet from their official website
    https://www.frodowallet.com/

  2. Use the Chia Faucet and receive some XCH.
    We'll be using the Chia faucet
    https://faucet.directorylib.com/

  3. Create a free Namesdao NFT Name which will be your wallet identity
    The Frodo Wallet will direct you to the Official Namesdao website
    https://www.namesdao.org/

Step 1: Download the Frodo Wallet and create your Account

In this example, I own an Android phone so I will be downloading from the Google Play Apps Store
Another great feature that I haven't explored yet is the Frodo Wallet has a browser version

Install Frodo
Create a Wallet
Create a Password
Write down your secret Phrase

Step 2: Get XCH from the Chia Faucet

This is the longest part of the setup as the Chia faucet has a lot of security to fend off bots.

Step 3: Create a Namesdao Name


We'll be searching for a .xch name from the official website https://www.namesdao.org/ and here you will also be able to review the pricing for various different names. In this example, everyone can get their free Namesdao NFT starting with 3 underscores "___"

My thoughts on onboarding with Frodo

  1. The Official Chia faucet using a Master Public Key is a bottleneck on receiving a mojo as mobile wallets do not have the ability to see their Master Public Key.

  2. The Mojo-jo-jo faucet has too many steps and a frightening pop-up

  3. The Frodo wallet is easy to setup and easy to use.

  4. The Frodo wallet integration with Namesdao Names gives Chia a welcome feature to the crazy long XCHaddressthatcanneverbeusedverbally
