Wallet

Manage your digital assets, send and receive payments, and handle offers across multiple blockchain networks.

Overview

Silicon provides a multichain wallet solution, giving you flexibility and access to diverse blockchain ecosystems. As part of our multichain infrastructure, the platform currently supports:

• Base Wallet (Smart Account powered by ThirdWeb) - Primary wallet for USDC earnings, NFT ownership, and platform transactions
• Chia Wallet - Secondary wallet for XCH assets, offer-based trading, and Chia-native tokens

Additional blockchain networks will be integrated as the platform expands, providing you with even more options for asset management, trading, and cross-chain operations.

Access your wallet by clicking your wallet address in the top navigation. The wallet modal provides quick access to balances, transaction history, and key actions across all supported networks.
