Connect a wallet
Hungry Minds works with ordinary NEAR wallets. Signing in is a signature, not a payment.
Wallets
The game uses the NEAR Wallet Selector. On testnet it offers Meteor, Intear, HOT, Here, Sender, Ledger and several more, including Nightly, Bitget, NEAR Mobile and NEAR Snap. Create a testnet account in the wallet you pick.
Chat and agents need a wallet that can sign a message, such as Meteor, Intear, HOT, Here, Sender or Ledger. Bitget, Math Wallet, Narwallets, XDEFI and Ramper can't, so with them you can hatch, feed and trade but not chat or connect an agent. MyNearWallet is not offered: it is being retired and no longer accepts new app connections.
Connect
- Open the game and press Connect wallet.
- Pick your wallet and approve the connection. It is never a payment. The first time it is your wallet's own connect step, and later sign-ins are a signed message. With a wallet that can't sign a message, every sign-in is the connect step again.
The first time you chat, your wallet signs one message. That opens a chat session for 24 hours, and until it ends messages need no wallet popup and no gas. To look around first, press Just look around: you can browse the colony and the shop without a wallet.
