This section provides a comprehensive overview for setting up and managing your network within the AirDAO ecosystem. It covers essential topics such as key management and configuring the AirDAO EVM.
The AirDAO Network is compatible with MetaMask and other EVM-Compatible wallet infrastructure. As an independent L1-blockchain, any user will have to customarily switch Networks on Metamask to access the AirDAO network. Specific steps for connecting your MetaMask to the AirDAO Network are summarized below:
Step 1: Login to MetaMask.
Step 2: Click on the network dropdown menu in the top-right corner and select “Add Network” at the bottom.
Step 3: Complete the following fields
Network Name: AMB-NET
Network RPC URL: https://network.ambrosus.io/
Chain ID: 0x414e (this will change to 16718 upon saving in step 4).
Step 4: Click ‘Save Network’.
Using the AMB-Ethereum Bridge, a user can easily move assets between AirDAO and Ethereum via MetaMask. This is explained more below in the ‘Bridging’ Section.
As with Ethereum, Key management on AirDAO is designed around public addresses and private keys.
Public Address: A given user or smart contract will always have a public address, denoted by a string of 42 letters and numbers and beginning with 0x.
Private Key: Private keys on AirDAO are a 256-bit number commonly represented in hexadecimal format (32 bytes or 64 characters when represented in hexadecimal). Private keys are required to sign transactions and manage a wallet on AirDAO.
Ethereum Name Service is compatible with the AirDAO Network but not currently implemented. It is a roadmap goal of the AirDAO council for this year.
The AirDAO Network, built on the original design of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), is compatible with the Ethereum Network up through the Constantinople Mainnet Upgrade, and the St. Petersburg Testnet Upgrade.
As a result, more recent opcodes on the Ethereum Network like ‘ChainID’ (block.chainid) and ‘BaseFee’ (block.basefee) are not compatible with the AirDAO EVM.
