Creating and Managing Your Account

You can use Web Wallet on ParallelChain Explorer on without any installation.

To conduct transactions on ParallelChain Mainnet you will first need to create an account on the blockchain to access the network. Accounts are free to create, and they can be set up through ParallelChain Explorer—or through the new Xperience Browser Extension.

The account (EOA) you create on ParallelChain is non-custodial, which means only you have control and access to it. You must store your recovery key securely and properly to avoid losing access to your assets. There is no way to retrieve it if it is lost.

Learn how to create and manage your ParallelChain account using ParallelChain Explorer with the steps below.

FAQ

Are my ParallelChain wallet and account the same thing?

No, your wallet and your account are not the same. Your account is registered on ParallelChain Mainnet, and your wallet extension helps connect you to your account. This means you are able to recover your account should you lose the device that your wallet extension is installed.

What kind of digital assets can I store in my Xperience account?

Currently, it can store XPLL. In the near future, you will be able to store other ParallelChain-based cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Can I send XPLL tokens to other blockchains like Ethereum?

No, you cannot send XPLL tokens to other blockchains at the moment. XPLL and other PRFC tokens currently only exist on ParallelChain Mainnet network, and sending your tokens to other network addresses will cause you to lose your tokens.

What happens if I lose my recovery key and password?

Xperience is a non-custodial wallet which only you have the access to. If you lose your recovery key and password, you will lose access to any asset that is stored in it.
