Enable & Mint Secret SCRT with Keplr

SecretSCRT ($sSCRT) is a privacy-preserving, fungible Secret Token that is backed by $SCRT, the native currency of Secret Network. $sSCRT is the first implementation of the SNIP-20 standard.

🔑 Create the Viewing Key

  1. Access your $SCRT account on Keplr Wallet Extension.
  2. Click on the three lines at the top left to display the menu.
  3. Select [Add Token] from the menu selection.
  4. Paste the following contract into the section called [Contract Address]: secret1k0jntykt7e4g3y88ltc60czgjuqdy4c9e8fzek
  5. After a few moments, the other fields will fill in automatically, except [Viewing Key].
  6. Select [Create].
  7. Choose the fees — it is recommended to set [High] as the transaction may fail with too low a fee.
  8. Once [Set Fee] is selected, confirm by clicking [Approve].

If the transaction was successful, you will notice your available balance decreased as a result of the gas spent. In case of an error: if it is a system error, try closing and reopening Keplr. If the gas was too low, run the operation again from the beginning.

🧿 Enabling $sSCRT on Keplr

Once the operation is successfully completed, you will be automatically redirected to [Add Token]. You will notice that the [Viewing Key] field has now been filled automatically. Select [Submit] to complete the procedure.

Don't be alarmed if you don't see any apparent change on the home page: as soon as $sSCRT are sent to you, an additional dedicated section will immediately appear.

  4. Enter the amount of $SCRT you want to convert to $sSCRT in the [Amount] field.
  5. Click the blue [Convert] button at the bottom.
  6. In the window that appears, select [High] gas and confirm by clicking [Select Fee].
  7. Review the operation summary and click [Approve] to complete the procedure.

You can now view your $sSCRT balance in the app or directly on Keplr by scrolling down to the Secret Network panel.

🎁 Send Your $sSCRT to a Secret Agent

On Keplr (extension) click on the $sSCRT box. A window will open where you can enter the recipient's address (secretxxxxxxxx…) and the amount of $sSCRT to send.
