Understanding Layer4 User Wallets

Layer4 provides different types of wallets to suit your needs and ensure secure interaction with the platform. This overview will help you understand the available wallet types and their key features.

Types of Wallets

User Wallets

User wallets are blockchain wallets accessible to Layer4 platform users who belong to one or more Workspaces. These wallets are accessed through the main platform at layer4.app/my-wallet using either email and password or Google authentication.

Guest Wallets

Guest wallets provide the same functionality as user wallets but are designed for users who don't need access to the main Layer4 platform. Guest wallets are accessed at layer4.app/wallet and use a one-time password (OTP) authentication system sent to your email address.

Multi-factor authentication is available for both user and guest wallets.

Read-Only Functionality

Layer4 wallets currently offer the following view-only features:

  • View ERC20 token balances
  • View NFT collections (ERC721, ERC1155, and other NFT standards)
  • Track assets across different blockchain networks

All asset information is displayed based on your selected blockchain network.

Key Management

The Importance of Key Export

Layer4 allows you to export your wallet's public-private key pair in JSON format. This feature is crucial for:

  • Backing up your wallet credentials
  • Importing your wallet into other services (e.g., MetaMask)
  • Maintaining control over your digital assets

Security Considerations

  • Private Key Protection: Your private key is the master key to your wallet. Anyone with access to your private key has complete control over your wallet and its contents.
  • Secure Storage: Store exported keys in a secure location, preferably offline.
  • Official Platform: Always ensure you're on the official Layer4 platform (layer4.app) before performing any wallet operations.
  • OTP Verification: Key export requires additional security verification through OTP to prevent unauthorized access.

Never share your private keys with anyone. Layer4 staff will never ask for your private keys.
