Getting Started

Getting Started

1. Create your vault

  1. Open app.blackvault.cash.
  2. Tap Get Started and sign in with Google or email — an embedded wallet is created for you instantly. No seed phrase to write down.
  3. Your wallet address appears under Receive. The same address works on any EVM network, but BlackVault operates on Robinhood Chain.

You always stay in control: the private key is exportable at any time from Settings → Export private key.

2. Fund it

Assets must live on Robinhood Chain. Two easy routes:

  • Bridge — use bridge.arbitrum.io (the canonical route) or relay.link for small amounts. Send to your BlackVault address.
  • Swap on-chain — Uniswap supports Robinhood Chain; swap ETH ↔ USDG there.

Keep a little ETH for network fees — fees on Robinhood Chain cost a fraction of a cent, but a wallet with zero ETH can’t move anything. The app warns you when gas is empty.

Settings → Biometric / Face ID → Enable. From then on the app asks for your face or fingerprint on every open, when entering the Private Vault, and before exporting your key.

4. Claim your name

Settings → Username → Get your name. Check availability, confirm, and you.blackvaultwallet.eth is yours — people can now pay a name instead of an address.

5. Go private

Switch to the Private Vault tab and enable your private balance — one signature derives your stealth identity. Share your st:eth:… address to receive privately; see Private Transfers.
