Connecting your wallet (Optional)
ICP-compatible wallets are optional for Bleep; your account creates a custom canister automatically for transactions. You can fund it directly by sending BTC to the generated address or ckBTC to the canister principal ID (visible in profile).
If you prefer to use ICP-compatible wallets, keep reading:
- OISY Wallet: Recommended for seamless ckBTC transactions and user-friendly experience (oisy.com).
- Plug Wallet: Easy browser extension & mobile app; great for quick logins and multi-chain support (plugwallet.ooo).
- Stoic Wallet: Secure option for desktop/mobile (stoicwallet.com).
- NNS dApp: Official non-custodial ICP wallet; ideal for managing ICP, ckBTC, and hardware attachments (nns.ic0.app).
Step-by-Step Connection
- Install your chosen wallet from the official website (verify links via @BleepAppHQ or dfinity.org to avoid scams).
- Create or import an account (use Internet Identity for seamless ICP login if prompted).
- Fund your Bleep wallet directly:
- Add ICP for general fees/transactions (via exchange or swap).
- For BTC/ckBTC: Send BTC to your Bleep-generated address (profile > “Fund Your Account” > BTC tab) — auto-mints to ckBTC for instant use.
- Visit the Bleep App, accept terms, and set your withdrawal address if needed.
- Check your balance in profile and start using the app.
Security Tip: Never share your seed phrase or recovery info with anyone. Use hardware wallets (e.g., Ledger via NNS) for large holdings.
