Polkadot JS Integration

Integration Steps

  1. 1.
    Make sure that your DApp interface is adopted for mobile platforms;
  2. 2.
    The simplest way to integrate Nova is by using @polkadot/extension-dapp package since Nova Wallet implements the same protocol as the polkadot-js extension
  3. 3.
    Due to the specifics of mobile browsers, window.injectedWeb3 might not be injected right at the start of page execution. The best practice is to either retry a few seconds later if window.injectedWeb3 was not found or to allow user to trigger connection flow manually (e.g. by clicking on Nova Wallet icon)
  4. 4.
    Use window.walletExtension.isNovaWallet flag to determine that the Nova Wallet connection option is supported and allow the user to initiate it manually by choosing the option in the DApp interface. Feel free to use our brand kit to display the Nova Wallet icon for connection option in the DApp interface.

Integration Steps

  1. 1.

  4. 4.
    Use window.ethereum.isNovaWallet flag to determine that Nova Wallet connection option is supported and allow user to initiate it manually by choosing the option in the DApp interface. Feel free to use our brand kit to display the Nova Wallet icon for connection option in the DApp interface.
