Obsidion Wallet Walkthrough (Video)

Watch this complete demo of the Obsidion wallet in action:

  • Always Current: Web-based deployment means immediate access to Aztec updates
  • No Installation: Works directly in your browser
  • Secure Authentication: Uses passkeys for enhanced security
  • Built-in Faucet: Easy access to testnet tokens
  • Developer Friendly: Optional developer mode for testing

Step 1: Create Your Obsidion Account

Access the Application

  1. Navigate to app.obsidion.xyz 
  2. If this is your first visit, you’ll see account creation options
  3. Important: Ignore the “Sign in with Google” prompt for now
  4. Click “Create Account With Passkey”

Account Creation Process

The account creation will take a few minutes. Do not close the window during this process.

Behind the scenes, Obsidion is:

  • Simulating the transaction
  • Generating the witness for the circuit
  • Proving the account creation in the PXE
  • Sending the transaction and waiting for it to be mined

Account Types

Standard Passkey Account:

  • Uses passkey authentication for security
  • Requires passkey confirmation for transactions
  • Recommended for regular use

Developer Account (Optional):

  • Check the “developer account” checkbox during creation
  • Creates a passkey-less account with no transaction signature validation
  • No passkey required for transactions
  • Suitable for devices that don’t support passkeys
  • Ideal for development and testing

Successful Creation

Once your account is created successfully, you’ll see a confirmation modal. You’re now ready to use your Obsidion account!

Step 2: Get Testnet Tokens

Claim Faucet Tokens

  1. After account creation, look for the “Claim faucet tokens” button
  2. Click this button to start the faucet process
  3. Note: Sometimes the faucet may not work immediately - try again after a few minutes if needed

You should receive approximately 3 ETH testnet tokens.

Convert Private Tokens to Public

Important: Faucet tokens are received as private tokens by default. To use them on Raven House, you need to make them public.

  1. Click the “Send funds” button in your Obsidion wallet
  2. A right sidebar will appear for sending funds
  3. Select “Private to Public” transfer type
  4. Paste your own wallet address as the recipient
  5. Enter the amount you want to convert
  6. Confirm the transaction

Your tokens are now public and ready to use on Raven House!

  2. Click “Connect Wallet” in the top right corner
  3. Select “Obsidion” from the wallet options
  4. Complete the connection process
