Wallets & Ember

Ember is the native desktop wallet for the GRID pilot. It manages GRID addresses and a separate Solana reward address, defaults to the public Genesis network, and can be switched to local or custom nodes in settings.

GRID and Solana addresses are different systems. A grid0… address receives native GRID chain activity. A base58 Solana address receives the current devnet token reward pilot.

Native GRID wallet CLI

bash

grid wallet init
grid wallet status
grid wallet address
grid wallet receive
grid wallet claim
grid wallet history --limit 20

# Create a signed transfer file
grid wallet send grid0DESTINATION 25 --memo "example"

Wallet key material is local; balances and accepted transactions belong to the chain. Receive views expose the complete address and a QR code in the desktop interface.

Solana devnet reward wallet

bash

# Create a new local keypair once
grid solana create

# Show address, balance, and devnet Explorer link
grid solana status

# Or configure an existing public address without importing its private key
grid solana import YOUR_SOLANA_ADDRESS

A locally created reward key is stored at ~/.grid/keys/solana-reward.json. The CLI refuses to overwrite an existing file. That refusal protects the current key; use grid solana status rather than trying to create it again.

Protect and recover keys

Record the recovery phrase offline when the wallet creates it.
Never paste a phrase, password, or private key into the website.
Back up wallet files before changing machines or reinstalling.
Use the wallet's password/passkey protection on shared computers.
Verify the complete destination address before sending.
Test custom or local node settings with non-valuable pilot balances first.

Network settings

Mode	Use
Genesis	Default public GRID pilot network
Local	A node on the same machine for development
Custom	An operator-supplied endpoint with its own trust boundary

Solana devnet tokens and GRID pilot balances are test assets with no guaranteed economic value. No exchange listing or mainnet custody claim is implied by the wallet.
