Wallet Setup

Setting up Freighter wallet or local dev keypairs for Stellar Testnet.

SplitPay is completely non-custodial. All operations requiring user authority are cryptographically signed using either a browser wallet or a locally generated keypair.

Setting Up Freighter Wallet

  1. Install the Freighter extension from freighter.app.
  2. Follow the onboarding flow to generate or import your 12-word recovery phrase.
  3. Set a strong extension password.

Switching Freighter to Testnet

By default, Freighter connects to Stellar Public (Mainnet). For SplitPay development:

  1. Open the Freighter extension.
  2. Click the network dropdown at the top right (currently showing PUBLIC).
  3. Select TEST NET.
Network Passphrase Verification
Verify that your network passphrase matches the SDF Testnet passphrase:
"Test SDF Network ; September 2015"

Alternative: Web App Dev Keypairs

If you do not want to install a browser extension, splitpay-web includes a built-in Testnet keypair generator in /wallet:

  • Keys are stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage and never transmitted to any external server.
  • Transactions are signed client-side using @stellar/stellar-sdk before being broadcast to the Soroban RPC.

Funding with Friendbot

Fund any newly created Stellar Testnet address with 10,000 free Testnet XLM via Friendbot:

# Fund via curl
curl "https://friendbot.stellar.org?addr=<YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY>"
