Adding Monolythium to Cosmos Wallets

Chain Registry

Monolythium will be available in the Cosmos Chain Registry. Once listed, wallets like Keplr will automatically suggest adding the network.

Manual Configuration

If not automatically available, add manually:

=== "Sprintnet"

{
  chainId: "mono-sprint-1",
  chainName: "Monolythium Sprintnet",
  rpc: "https://rpc.sprintnet.monolythium.com",
  rest: "https://api.sprintnet.monolythium.com",
  bip44: { coinType: 118 },
  bech32Config: {
    bech32PrefixAccAddr: "mono",
    bech32PrefixAccPub: "monopub",
    bech32PrefixValAddr: "monovaloper",
    bech32PrefixValPub: "monovaloperpub",
    bech32PrefixConsAddr: "monovalcons",
    bech32PrefixConsPub: "monovalconspub"
  },
  currencies: [{
    coinDenom: "LYTH",
    coinMinimalDenom: "alyth",
    coinDecimals: 18
  }],
  feeCurrencies: [{
    coinDenom: "LYTH",
    coinMinimalDenom: "alyth",

  }],
  stakeCurrency: {
    coinDenom: "LYTH",
    coinMinimalDenom: "alyth",
    coinDecimals: 18
  }
}

=== "Testnet"

{
  chainId: "mono-test-1",
  chainName: "Monolythium Testnet",
  rpc: "https://rpc.testnet.monolythium.com",
  rest: "https://api.testnet.monolythium.com",
  // ... same config structure as above
}

=== "Mainnet"

{
  chainId: "mono-1",
  chainName: "Monolythium",
  rpc: "https://rpc.monolythium.com",
  rest: "https://api.monolythium.com",

Address Formats

Cosmos (Bech32)

mono1abc123...xyz

Used for: Staking, governance, Cosmos transactions

EVM (Hex)

0x1234...abcd

Used for: EVM transactions, smart contracts

Conversion

The same private key generates both addresses. They represent the same account:

mono1... ↔ 0x...

See Address Formats for details.

Hardware Wallets

Ledger Support

Both address formats work with Ledger:

• EVM: Use Ethereum app + MetaMask
• Cosmos: Use Cosmos app + Keplr

Using Ledger with MetaMask

1. Connect Ledger
2. Open Ethereum app
3. Connect to MetaMask
4. Add Monolythium network
5. Transactions signed on device

Using Ledger with Keplr

1. Connect Ledger
2. Open Cosmos app
3. Connect to Keplr
4. Add Monolythium network
5. Transactions signed on device

Wallet Security

Best Practices

1. Backup your seed phrase - Store offline in multiple secure locations
2. Never share your seed phrase - No legitimate service will ask for it
3. Use hardware wallets for significant holdings
4. Verify addresses before sending
5. Be cautious of phishing - Verify URLs carefully

Recovery

If you lose access to your wallet but have your seed phrase:

1. Install wallet software on a new device
2. Choose "Import" or "Restore"
3. Enter your seed phrase
4. Your accounts and balances are restored

!!! danger "Seed Phrase Security" Anyone with your seed phrase has full control of your funds. Never enter it on websites or share it with anyone.

Which Wallet Should I Use?

I want to...	Use
Send/receive LYTH	MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or Keplr
Interact with dApps	MetaMask or Trust Wallet
Deploy smart contracts	MetaMask
Stake LYTH	Keplr or Leap
Vote on proposals	Keplr or Leap
Burn tokens	Keplr or Leap (or CLI)
Maximum security	Ledger + either wallet

FAQ

Can I use the same wallet for EVM and Cosmos?

The same seed phrase/private key works for both, but you need different wallet software (MetaMask for EVM, Keplr for Cosmos).

Do I need separate accounts?

No. One seed phrase generates matching EVM and Cosmos addresses that share the same balance.

Which wallet is more secure?

Both are secure when used properly. For maximum security, use a hardware wallet with either.

Can I stake from MetaMask?

No. Staking requires Cosmos transactions. Use Keplr or Leap.
