Setting Up Azguard Wallet

Azguard is a Chrome extension wallet for the Aztec Network. It provides a familiar browser extension experience similar to MetaMask.

Why Choose Azguard?

  • Browser Extension: Convenient access from your browser toolbar
  • Traditional Security: Password-based authentication
  • Extension Convenience: Always accessible while browsing
  • Familiar UX: Similar to popular wallets like MetaMask

Important Notice

⚠️ Testnet Compatibility: Azguard may occasionally have compatibility issues with the latest Aztec testnet versions. The Aztec team frequently updates testnets, and while Obsidion can deploy updates immediately, Azguard requires Chrome Web Store approval which can take up to a week.
