App Links allow you to generate a hyperlink that when used will direct users to a specific referendum within Nova Wallet.

Parameters

When creating an App Link to open a specific referendum you should adjust the following parameters:

chainId – this is the network genesis hash without the "0x" prefix. The chain's governance should be supported by Nova Wallet

id – referendum ID number

type – 0 = OpenGov / 1 = Gov1

Clickable App Link

This is how you format App Links so that when a user clicks this link they will be directed to the specific referendum within Nova Wallet.

App Links to open the details of a specific referendum are formatted as such:
