- 04How do I create a wallet via Dentacoin Wallet dApp? Go to Dentacoin Wallet dApp and create a wallet by simply generating a Secret Key File. To create a wallet type in your desired password in the Create section, then click the “Create” button. You will be prompted to download a Keystore/Secret Key File. It should have a similar file name to “Dentacoin secret key - 0b77abd12b48d51a8a5d740d94b455b377886b72.” A Secret Key File contains all your login information, but its contents are encrypted with your password. Without either one you will not be able to access your wallet.

- 07I can't find the secret key for my wallet. What to do? Secret key files are automatically generated upon creation of your wallet. They cannot be recovered, nor the password that you used to encrypt them. To complete the creation you need to store the file locally on your device preferably at a secure location. For desktop you can pick the folder it is downloaded to and the same applies for most mobile users. If you can't find the file on your mobile device, check the Root or Downloads folders for Android, or your Notes if you are using iOS.
- 08Why do I need to pay gas fee? Dentacoin is based on the Ethereum network where all transactions are processed against a gas fee, the cost neccessary to perform the payment. The gas fee amount goes to the miners for verifying and processing the transaction. It is measured in the gwei unit, which is 0.000000001ETH.
