Unfortunately, Reddit has stopped their Vault service. If you had any Moons there,
you can follow this tutorial to recover (and still use) your Moons:
Open Reddit app and go to your Reddit Vault.
Click to the three dots "•••". Then click on the "Recovery Phrase".
Copy that recovery phrase and go to iancoleman.io/bip39. You can use this page while
you are offline for safety purposes.
Paste your recovery phrase to the "BIP39 Mnemonic" field.
On the "Coin" field, select "ETH - Ethereum".
Scroll down, and you'll see a table in "Derived Addresses" with many paths, addresses,
public and private keys. In the first row, you can find your address and private key. Now
copy the private key of the first row.
Go to your MetaMask and click to the "Import Account". Paste the
private key and press the "Import" button.
Now you've imported the address, but you have to add the Arbitrum Nova network. On the
Metamask, follow the "Settings -> Networks -> Add Network" path and add enter the network
details:
Network name: Reddit
RPC URL: https://arbitrum-nova.drpc.org
Chain ID: 42170
Block Explorer URL: https://nova.arbiscan.io/
Now you should add the MOON token. Click "Import tokens", then add the
details:
Token Symbol: MOON (it will automatically show up)
Token Decimal: 18
Then press the "Add Custom Token" button.
Now if you want to send Moons, you need some Ethereum to cover the gas fees. Please try
using the faucet: novafaucet.com, you
can bridge some
Ethereum from Ethereum main network to Arbitrum Nova network from here: bridge.arbitrum.io/?l2ChainId=42170. 0.01 ETH would cover a lot of
transactions, because a Moon transfer uses something like 0.00000065501 ETH for gas.
Now you can send MOONs from your MetaMask to your deposit address using moon.banano.trade.
First of all, remember to store your seed in a safe place so that you can switch
between wallets when there's a problem with the wallet or device you're using.
For Banano on mobile, use Kalium from App Store/Google Play. On web, you can use The Banano Stand.
For Moons, an Ethereum wallet like MetaMask is the best option. If you're using a wallet
like MetaMask, you
should add the L2 network to your wallet by following Settings -> Networks -> Add network. You
can find the network details on the question below.
Network name: Arbitrum Nova
RPC URL: https://a4ba.arbitrum.io/rpc
Chain ID: 42170
Block Explorer URL: https://nova-explorer.arbitrum.io/
