Installation

TezosX Wallet is a Manifest V3 Chrome extension built with Vite. It is not yet published to the Chrome Web Store, so you install it in developer mode from the compiled source.

Prerequisites​

  • Node.js ≥ 20
  • pnpm (the monorepo uses pnpm workspaces)
  • Google Chrome or Chromium

Build the extension​

From the monorepo root:

# Install all workspace dependencies
pnpm install

# Development build with HMR (Vite dev server at localhost:5173)
pnpm wallet:dev

# Production build (output in packages/wallet/dist/)
pnpm wallet:build

The compiled extension lands at packages/wallet/dist/.

Development mode

pnpm wallet:dev keeps Vite running and hot-reloads the popup and UI pages. Content scripts and the service worker require a manual extension reload in chrome://extensions after each change.

Load the unpacked extension in Chrome​

  1. Open chrome://extensions in Chrome
  2. Enable Developer mode (top-right toggle)
  3. Click Load unpacked
  4. Select packages/wallet/dist/
  5. The TezosX Wallet icon appears in your toolbar

First-run onboarding​

On the first click of the toolbar icon:

  1. The popup opens on the Welcome screen
  2. Choose Create a new wallet or Import an existing seed
  3. Follow the Create or Import flow
  4. After setup, the Home screen shows your XTZ and USDC balances

Updating after a code change​

After pnpm wallet:build, go to chrome://extensions and click the ↺ Reload button next to TezosX Wallet. The popup will reflect the new build immediately.
