Working with Every Protocol typically involves interacting with two types of chains:
  • The universe chain (such as Ethereum or Base)
  • The observer chain (Every Network)
Every Network supports unified accounts, allowing users to use the same address and private key as on their preferred universe chains. You can either import an existing account or create a new one, using a wallet extension or the CLI.

​
Use Wallet Extensions

We recommend installing one of the following browser wallet extensions: These extensions support both Substrate accounts and Ethereum accounts. You can:
  • Create a new wallet from scratch
  • Import an existing wallet using your seed phrase or private key

​
Using the CLI

You can also generate or import a wallet in your terminal using the every CLI:

​
Install every-cli

npm i @everyprotocol/every-cli

​
Generate a new wallet

every wallet generate

​
Import an existing wallet

every wallet --import

​
Get Testnet Tokens

Once your wallet is set up, you can request testnet tokens:
  1. Visit Every faucet
  2. Paste your wallet address and click the request button

​
Check Your Balance

To view your account balances, you can use either the Developer Portal or CLI.

​
Developer Portal

  • Open the Developer Portal
  • Navigate to Accounts => Accounts
  • You’ll see balances for all accounts injected by your wallet
You can also check the balance of any address manually:
  • Go to Accounts => Address Book
  • Add a new contact and enter the address you’re interested in

​
CLI

every wallet balance
