Get Started with Kai Chain

Wallet

The easiest way to use Kai Chain is through a wallet with support for Kai Chain accounts and transfers.

For example, KEC provides a Web Wallet at https://www.explorer.kaichain.net
KEC also provides Web Wallet for testnet at https://testnet-explorer.kaichain.net
Both provide the functions below:

• Generating crypto keys and addresses, which serves as the base of a wallet
• Showing the balances of assets on the addresses
• Sending and receiving assets

Kai Chain Web Wallet also presents a trading UI similar to KEC.com, where you can examine market data and manage your orders to trade among the listed assets.
