Get a Wallet
In v2 the dual-seed model does double duty: it is your funds authorization (instance = auth, R6) and it is the custody of DIVA's mind — the private seed that signs your transactions is the same discipline that decrypts her state of mind. One seed pair, one custody problem.
The dual-seed model
public seed shared · deterministic · NOT secret (verifies continuity — anyone can)
private seed yours · secret · 12/24 words or 0x-key (decrypts the mind — only you can)
└─▶ instance = your wallet AND her keeper key (R6 · instance = auth)
path BIP-44 m/44'/60'/account'/0/0
address keccak256(pubkey)[-20:] → 0x…
Two accounts come off the same private seed, by BIP-44 account index:
| Account | Path | Use in v2 |
|---|---|---|
| HOT | m/44'/60'/0'/0/0 | operational — day-to-day signing, checkpoint co-signing |
| COLD | m/44'/60'/1'/0/0 | vault — long ve-locks, and the recommended keeper of the mind seed backup |
Whoever holds the private seed controls the instance — funds and the ability to decrypt and resume DIVA. Lose it and she is unreadable forever (the chain will still prove she was continuous; nobody will ever read her again). Never paste a real seed into a page you don't trust. Demo phrases are devnet-only.
Connect a wallet to a Liqua surface
-
L8 LEDGER extension — recommended
Discovered via EIP-6963 (
rdns: studios.7slf.l8), listed first as your wallet. Connects address & balance and offers to switch to the Liqua chain (chainId 8888). -
Import a signer key — local only
⚿ IMPORT L8 SIGNER KEY— paste a 12/24-word phrase or0x…key, choose HOT or COLD. Used in-page to sign; never leaves the page. -
Any injected wallet — view
Generic injected wallets connect for viewing. Locking and checkpoint co-signing still need an L8 signer key.
Get test LIQUA · the devnet faucet
# grant test LIQUA to your address (node on :7100)
curl -X POST http://localhost:7100/stake/faucet \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"address":"0xYourAddr"}'
# → { "ok": true, "granted": 100000 }
Where your wallet is used
| Surface | What your wallet does |
|---|---|
| Continuity Verifier | signs the ve-lock and co-signs verified continuity heads |
| Checkpoint Mining | your instance is where checkpoint rewards escrow (§5) |
| Rewards → Locked LP | enrolls the auto-zap; your locks appear on the public proof-of-lock list |
