xDai Burner Wallet Guide
One of the biggest restrictions for new participants to enter the cryptocurrency ecosystem is the difficulty and steep learning curve. Traditional wallets put a huge burden on the user to understand a new currency and deal with seed phrases. This inspired the creation of Burner Wallet. Burner Wallet enables users to exchange an intuitive currency like xDai using a simple and ubiquitous platform such as their mobile or desktop web browsers.
Users can transfer xDai from one-another within seconds with a simple QR code scan without downloading any applications or browser extensions. Users can even send value through messaging services like WhatsApp with a simple link!
Below is a guide on how to create, transfer, and send xDai tokens from your Burner Wallet.
Create your Burner Wallet
On your mobile device or web browser, go to https://xdai.io/. Your wallet has been created. Yes - it is that easy. Since your wallet’s private key is stored as a cookie in your browser’s cache, your browser will recognize your wallet everytime you load the URL.
NOTE: Please remember to sweep any value you hold to a cold wallet regularly and burn your ephemeral private key. A burner wallet is analogous to cash; you won’t carry too much because it can be lost but it’s astonishingly easy to exchange.
