1. Opening of the Oasis Web Wallet

Navigate to the wallet section on the Oasis website. You will have two options there: either to add an existing wallet or create a new wallet. To open a new account click ‘Create wallet‘.

1. After clicking ‘Create Wallet’, a  24 words mnemonic phrase will be displayed. If you feel you don’t like the created mnemonics, you can generate another one. Write down the mnemonic phrase and save it in a safe place as there is no way to restore it in the event of a loss. After saving your mnemonic, click the checkbox ‘I saved my keyphrase’ and click ‘Import my wallet’.

2. The next step is to confirm the mnemonics. Enter your mnemonic phrase in the right order and make sure there are no spaces between the characters → click ‘Import my wallet’.

3. Select one or more accounts that you want to open from the mnemonic and confirm your choice by clicking on ‘Open’.

4. After this, your wallet will be created. You can now send, receive and stake ROSE using the address generated.

2. Opening of the Oasis Wallet – Browser Extension

• You need to add the Oasis extension first to get access to the Oasis extension wallet →  get the Oasis Chrome Extension here.

• Once the extension is installed, you can pin the Oasis extension icon in the Tools menu for fast access to your wallet.

• Using the extension, there’s a ‘Create Wallet‘ button. Click the button and create your security password. 

After clicking the checkbox below ‘I understand that if I lose my password, I will not be able to access the assets’ → click  ‘Next‘ → you will be asked to save the mnemonic phrase that’s being displayed and to confirm backup.

• Now that you have successfully saved your mnemonic phrase, it’s time to confirm it by choosing the words in the right order.

• Once successfully confirmed, the account creation process will be completed.

3. Funding of the Oasis Wallet 

ROSE is tradeable on several top exchanges like Binance, Kucoin, Gate, Coinlist, and many more. Once ROSE is bought on any of the listed exchanges, it can be withdrawn to the ROSE address generated on the newly created wallet. All you need to do is to copy your address and then transfer ROSE to your Oasis Web Wallet / Browser Extension.

5. How to stake ROSE using the Web Wallet

The users can participate in the delegation of their ROSE token to earn rewards through staking and at the same time contribute to the security of the network. Let’s dive deeper into the staking process.

• Navigate to the ‘Stake‘ section on the Oasis web interface, where you will see the list of available validators.

• Scroll down a bit and select the validator you want to stake with, for example, Everstake.

• Set the amount you want to stake (note that the minimum staking amount is 100 ROSE) and tap ‘Delegate’.

• Check transaction details, and if everything is correct, hit ‘Confirm’.

• If transaction was successful, you’ll see the following:

➤ Note that if you’re using a Ledger hardware wallet, you’ll need to confirm the staking transaction on your Ledger.

• In order to confirm the transaction with your Ledger wallet, select the Approve item and press both buttons on the device at the same time.

Congratulations! Your ROSE tokens are now being staked, which you will see under the section  ‘Active delegations’, and you will start getting rewards after the first epoch (1 epoch = ~ 1 hour).

➤ The rewards are accrued every hour.
➤ Kindly note that the rewards won’t be displayed in your wallet (they can be checked on Oasis Monitor: type your wallet address in the search field → rewards will be displayed under “Rewards”.)

➤ Bear in mind that the debonding period is 14 days. Rewards do not accrue during this time frame.
➤ Kindly note that the “corresponding number of shares” is different from the staking amount (slightly less) and it represents your original staking in the staking pool. However, if at any time you decide to unstake, you will get your initial staking amount back (+ staking rewards, if any).

After delegation, take a good rest while Everstake takes over the safety of your tokens and future rewards.

6. How to stake ROSE using the Browser Extension
