Circles comes with circles.garden as a web wallet for Circles (CRC Tokens). Internally, during the setup, a smart contract is deployed as a multisignature wallet. This smart contract is a Gnosis Safe contract, therefore the Gnosis Safe web wallet can be used to access the Circles wallet.
Open Gnosis Safe in read-only mode
This step-by-step-guide shows how to reuse the Gnosis Safe web wallet for Circles.
So are now in read-only mode, but can see the current balances of your (and other) CRCs, but also xDai and other Tokens.
Import wallet address for write access
Note: For write access you need xDai on your account, a small amount like $0.1 already allows for some dozen transactions. You can try https://gnosisfaucet.com/ - if it doesn’t work, ask someone for sending $0.1 to your wallet address.
Visit circles.garden in Google Chrome, open developer tools with Ctrl+Shift+I
Now you have “write-access” and can also send Tokens as the one Owner of the multisig Gnosis Safe is imported to the browser wallet. You can now add new multisig users, but be aware that this might conflict with the original garden wallet.
Links do work here, would be nice to have them operational.
Also, not sure what Martin had in mind specifically, but screenshots are very helpful to new users with low technical savvy. Each step depicted clearly so they know they’ve got it right, etc.
Thank you @alculexum - potentially a few screenshots would indeed improve further.
Also a tipp to add: you will need xDAI on your account to pay transaction fees - you can get some which will be enough for many transaction here at this faucet: https://xdai-faucet.top/
Yes, didn’t think of screenshots here, but totally makes sense, will add them - for the links, it is actually not possible to add more than two links in a post for “new users”. Seems like a quite useless spam protection.
What’s an Xdai faucet for? Before Circles I hadn’t heard of Dai and xDai and didn’t own ETH. I managed to transfer XLM I got from Stellar and Keybase, to ETH, which I then converted to Dai and swapped to xDai, and now I found out there are xDai faucets Did I just throw away tokens?
Don’t know if it has to be so complicated, but you did the right thing, faucets were only meant for “easy onboarding” or “easy blockchain adoption” to enable someone to try out dapps without having to go through all the annoying centralized, not really regulated entities like Centralized Exchanges. But they would only provide enough for gas (like equivalent of $0.01 or something) and are completely dependent on a sponsor. So for example the faucet mentioned above stopped working for me at least. You can’t rely on the sponsors, exchanging other Tokens to DAI and then bridge to xDai is the way to go.
Thanks for that clarification. Makes sense. My path to xDai was like that because I didn’t own ETH, so it didn’t cost me a single Euro cent to get to xDai.
Thank you for this tutorial @alculexum! Would you be interested in writing a version for the Circles Handbook? I think its a super introduction into Circles also for developers.
Did I just throw away tokens?
