Get started

This site is the canonical developer portal for Hope Chain. Explorer /developer now points here.

1. Network

Do not use hope-1 in examples. That is planned mainnet, not live.

See Network.

2. Get test HOPE

Connect a wallet on Explorer for the welcome 1 HOPE faucet. DEX test tokens (TATOM / TETH / …) are on swap.hopenetwork.io.

Install Hope Wallet (Android). iOS is not live yet.

3. Connect and query

npm install @hopenetwork/wallet

import { connect, createHttpTransport } from '@hopenetwork/wallet';

const { address } = await connect({
  origin: { name: 'My App', url: window.location.origin },
  chainId: 'hope-testnet-2',
  transport: createHttpTransport({
    baseUrl: `${window.location.origin}/api/hope-wallet`,
  }),
  relayUrl: true,
});

Then:

curl -sS "https://test-gateway.hopenetwork.io/api/cosmos/bank/v1beta1/balances/$ADDRESS"

Or use the Query tool.

4. Send 1 uhope

Dry-run first in the Tx tool (loads account sequence). Real broadcast uses Hope Wallet QR — never a mnemonic in the browser.
