Wallets, privacy and your proofs
Wallets and Digi-ID
The DigiByte wallet you need, your one Digi-ID account, the address a proof is signed with, and paying the stamp fee.
The wallet you need
To sign in and sign proofs you need a DigiByte wallet app that supports Digi-ID. It has to be able to scan a Digi-ID QR code, or open a Digi-ID link on the same phone, and sign the request. A wallet with a signed-message tool can also sign a proof by hand.
You do not need a wallet to check a proof. To save a proof to the blockchain you also need DGB to pay the stamp fee, which can come from the same wallet or any other.
Your account and your signing address
When you sign in with Digi-ID, your wallet signs with one of its addresses, and that signs you in to your DigiStamp account. It is the same account on every DigiStamp product: Assets, Proof, Signal, Tickets and Contracts.
- Proofs you create are owned by your account, and My proofs lists them.
- The address that signs a proof is shown on its certificate under Signed by. Signing with a Digi-ID wallet records the wallet’s Digi-ID address for the Proof site, which can differ from the address you signed in with, because Digi-ID wallets use one address per site. That address is your signing address.
- Anyone can open the list of published proofs signed by an address, from See all proofs by this identity on a signed certificate.
If you sign in with a different wallet, you may be signed in to a different account, and the proofs owned by the first one do not appear.
Paying from a wallet
The stamp fee is sent from your wallet to the fee address shown on your proof’s page. It does not have to come from the wallet you signed with. Signing in and signing a proof never ask you to send anything. See Paying for the stamp.
Keep the same wallet
Your account and your signing address belong to your wallet, and only the wallet that controls them can sign in or sign as them. Keep your wallet’s recovery phrase safe, as your wallet app tells you to.
Lost wallet, lost control
