Get started

You need a self-custody wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby, and some ETH for gas. A wallet controlled by a smart contract cannot hold a private balance.

1. Connect your wallet#

Open app.nullmask.io for Ethereum or base.nullmask.io for Base, and connect your wallet.

2. Create your account keys#

Your wallet asks you to sign a message from Nullmask. It creates the keys of your Nullmask account.

• It is free: no transaction and no gas.
• It moves no funds and approves nothing.
• The same wallet always gives the same keys, on any device.

3. Add the Nullmask network#

The app asks your wallet to add a network called Nullmask VPN on Ethereum (or on Base). Approve it. Your private balance is shown on this network. See Networks and addresses.

4. Register your account#

Your account is registered on-chain so that others can send to you privately. You can register on its own, or together with your first deposit. Registration is a transaction from your wallet, and you pay its gas.

5. Make your first deposit#

Choose an asset and an amount and press Check and deposit. See Deposit.
