Adding new account

When pressing the Add new Account button the following dialog will open:

Add a name to your account and the private key for the wallet you want to control with that account.

What we are calling an account here is a pointer to an existent wallet you control. Plutus Terminal does not generate a new wallet address for you, use your wallet of choice for that (e.g MetaMask, Rabby).

Withe form complete, press the Create new Account button, if everything is good, you will see your new account being selected in the terminal. If anything is wrong, you will get an error message in the dialog window.

The private key will be stored in the OS keyring, always ensure your OS is secure.

Is always a good idea to have a specific wallet only for trading with Plutus Terminal to avoid any exposure of other funds.
