Wallets

To interact with Dartroom and Algorand, you will need a self-managed Algorand wallet. There are multiple options for such Algorand wallets. There are browser-based wallets like the My Algo Wallet and Algo Signer and mobile apps like the Perra wallet. At the moment, only the My Algo Wallet and Algo Signer are supported for signing on Dartroom.

All the above-mentied wallets work with one type of Algorand address which looks like this:

H4BCU22EFP46TJGATHGUXLJ4AET4CIQQE77CW7UVMRCQ6OQBHYMNST7HVU

These addresses are based on a 25-word long passphrase, which you can use the transfer the addresses between the different wallets. You can have a single address in multiple wallet apps at the same time.

At Dartroom we recommend you use a combination of two wallet apps. For signing on Dartroom we recommend the My Algo Wallet. This is the most feature-rich wallet that can be used on Dartroom for signing at the moment. In addition to this app, we also recommend you install the Perra wallet on your phone and import the address from the My Algo wallet into it. With the Perra wallet, you can get push notification on your phone when you receive Algorand. And having to wallet apps on different devices makes sure you always have a backup app in case you lose access to one of them.

Make sure you store this passphrase securely. It gives full access to funds in your account. Losing this passphrase can result in losing the funds in the wallet. You can export the passphrase from most wallet apps, but if you lose access to those apps, you can use the copy of the passphrase to recover your account.

My Algo

Dartroom supports the My Algo as a wallet for all actions on Dartroom. At Dartroom, we recommend you to use the wallet as it currently has the most complete feature set and works on both mobile and desktop. You can create a My Algo Wallet on their website.

AlgoSigner

Dartroom supports the Algo Signer as a wallet for all actions on Dartroom. The Algo Signer is only available on desktop and not on mobile. You can get the Algo Signer as a chromium extension on the Chrome Web Store.

When creating a new address through the Algo Signer, always write down the passphrase and store it securely. This is always a good practice, but in the case of the Algo Signer it is essential. The Algo Signer does not allow you to display the passphrase after the address is created. You get to see it once and then never again. If you do not store the passphrase and lose access to the browser the Algo Signer is installed on, you will permanently lose access to the wallet.

Pera Wallet (official Algorand Wallet)

The Pera Wallet is not supported on Dartroom at the moment, but we are working on integrating it. You can download the Pera Wallet in the App Store and on Google Play Store.

Ledger

The size of some contracts on Dartroom makes using the Ledger Nano S not possible in some cases. Only the Ledger Nano X, the model with more memory, is fully supported on Dartroom.

There are a lot of fake resellers of Ledger devices. Make sure you always purchase your Ledger device from the official site or a trusted reseller. Otherwise, you are at the risk of receiving a compromised device that would allow someone to steal your crypto funds.
