Install Narwallets from the Chrome Web Store
- Be the deafult chrome-extension wallet for NEAR DApps
- What Metamask does for ethereum, we intend to do for NEAR
- Narwallets-extension aims to be a simpler and complemetary tool to the official NEAR Web wallet
- Narwallets is designed for a desktop/laptop experience with a chromium based browser, NEAR Web wallet works on any browser and mobile
- Narwallets is available only in english, NEAR Web wallet supports multiple languages
- Narwallets is not yet integrated with Ledger or other HW Wallets
- Narwallets has only one option regading account recovery: Write-down the seed phrase. NEAR Web Wallet has other user-friendly recovery options (email & phone recovery).
- Narwallets, aiming at simplicity, has no 2FA support yet.
The good:
- It's an extension-wallet: You'll be able to interact with DApps without leaving the DApp web site
- Provides a similar experience as Metamask/other extension-wallets, easing the onboard of ethereum users into the NEAR ecosystem.
- Each wallet can have multiple accounts. You can see the sum of all your accounts in the wallet
- You can have multiple wallets by providing different user/passwords.
- Accounts are first added to in safe-by-default read-only mode (no keys)
- All private data is stored encrypted on chrome local storage
- Create free implict accounts (no near required)
- Lockup contract accounts are auto-discovered and treated as another account in the group
- Advanced mode allows you to take full control of your lockup contract account
- Integration with DApps. New model: wallet initiated connection to active tab, resulting in chain & wallet agnostic DApps. See Wallet integration API Documentation here

- Ledger integration
- 2FA Support
- Manage Create named account (currently redirecting to NEAR Web Wallet)
- This project uses typescript
- Being a chrome extension, no bundler/minimizer is needed
- No frameworks are used neither, this is plain typescript and a main index.html
- Chrome Dev Tools: Map folder to Narwallets-extension/extension
- Use Chrome Dev Tools as an quick-and-dirty IDE with Edit & Continue
- Use VSCode as the main IDE - Ctrl-Shift-B to build with typescript
- Remove plus-typescript, convert all to typescript
- npm i eslint --save-dev
- When wallet-API was added a lot of functions became
async. Addnpm install eslint-plugin-no-floating-promise --save-dev
We're using base crypto libs as a bundle (The ideal solution would be to have typescript versions of each lib and compile to ES2020 modules)
- Replace bundle with typescript versions of basic crypto tools
We need to reduce the bundle's size. Bundle is at https://github.com/Narwallets/bundled-crypto-libs.git
Bundle includes:
- globalThis.Buffer = SafeBuffer.Buffer
- globalThis.BN = BN
- globalThis.bip39 = bip39
- globalThis.pbkdf2 = pbkdf2
- globalThis.createHmacPackage = {createHmac:createHmac}
