Getting started

This page describes the current testnet prototype. Everything here uses test assets with no monetary value.

1. Install Freighter

Varial (formerly Freighter) is a browser-extension wallet for Stellar. Install it, create or import an account, and switch the wallet network to Testnet. The Blockallisto app may still call the wallet "Freighter" - it is the same wallet under its new name (announcement, changelog).

2. Connect your wallet

Open demo.92-5-187-71.sslip.io and click Connect. Connecting shares your public wallet address with the app so it can show balances and prepare investment transactions. Connecting is not an account login and does not sign anything.

3. Browse campaigns

The investments page lists sample campaigns as funding blocks. Each campaign page shows its terms: funding goal, deadline, and reward structure.

4. Make a test contribution

On an open campaign, choose an amount and confirm in Freighter. You sign the investment transaction with your wallet; the smart contract records the contribution in testnet USDC. Because funding is all-or-nothing, a contribution to a campaign that misses its goal is refundable.

5. Sign in to your account

The account area uses a separate sign-in: you sign a one-time challenge message in Freighter to prove you control the wallet - there is no password. The session stays valid for 30 days.

For extra protection you can add an authenticator-app second factor (TOTP) in the account's security section; single-use recovery codes are provided when you enable it.

6. Explore your account

The account area shows your activity, including contribution history and post-funding reports for backed campaigns.
