How To Use the TomoWallet

TomoWallet is the official TomoChain wallet. Tomo holders use TomoWallet to store TOMO tokens issued on TomoChain. It also allows the token holders to vote for masternodes, track rewards, and use dApps on TomoChain.

TomoChain

The TomoChain is a public blockchain that aims to address the scalability problem with the existing blockchain platforms, including Ethereum, along with maintaining decentralization.

Thus, to provide high transaction speeds, the TomoChain architecture is using the Proof-of-Stake Voting (PoSV) consensus protocol, which helps in maintaining a fair voting mechanism, rigorous security guarantees, and fast finality. A set of 150 masternodes supports the operation, performance, and maintenance of the entire network.

Advantages
  • Lower transaction fee
  • Fast confirmation time
  • Double validation to strengthen security and reduced fork
  • Randomization to guarantee the fair and prevent handshaking attack

Wallet installation guide (web version)

Due to certain privacy restrictions, we are not able to make a mobile wallet installation guide and are proceeding with a web version (which has similar features to the mobile version). But we recommend all the users to use a mobile wallet as it ensures high safety and security.

On the TomoChain website, there are three options for installing your TomoWallet. Choose as per your requirement.

TomoWallet

Choose the web version. It will redirect you to a page and will give you two options for wallet setup.

TomoWallet

If you are a new user, then choose option 2, i.e., “Create a New Wallet.”

A warning message will ask you to store your 12-word backup phrase safely.

TomoWallet

After clicking Next to the Recovery Phrase, it will show you a window with your backup phrase. Note down your backup phrase and keep it safe for future use.

TomoWallet

Click on I wrote My Recovery Phrase if you have successfully kept your backup phrase safely.

If you are a new user, it will again throw a warning message and will ask you to verify the backup phrase again. Upon successful verification, you will be able to access your wallet.

TomoWallet

Important: TomoWallet doesn’t have access to your wallet or your private key. Hence the users are recommended to store their private key and backup phrase safely. No third party or platform can help you to get your assets back in case you can lose the backup phrase or key.

Import your wallet

Choose option Import Your Wallet if you are an existing user.

TomoWallet

This method will give you four different ways to import your wallet. Try to login whichever option suits you.

Important: It is highly recommended not to import your wallet using a private key or Keystore file.

After providing the correct details, it will let you log in to the wallet application. See the landing page.

TomoWallet

The landing page contains details about your portfolio, i.e., public key, QR code, and fund balance.

It will allow you to do the following actions:

Send: Select this option if you want to transfer some tokens to a user. It will ask you a few details about the transaction, such as recipient address, token, and the transfer amount. Fill it and proceed.

TomoWallet

It is a multi-chain portal that allows the TomoChain to integrate with other blockchains like BTC, ETH, USDT, YFI, etc. Through TomoBridge, you can swap these tokens to Tron tokens (TRC21).

TomoBridge

Conclusion

The Tomo blockchain is quite fast. The platform provides high security and charges very low transaction fees. The TomoWallet is very robust and includes features like token staking and swapping. The wallet interface is also very user-friendly. Currently, it bridges only with Tron, but it would be good if it can connect with other blockchains like Polkadot, Cosmos, and so on.
