Prerequisites

Before interacting with the Verdant Privacy Testnet, ensure your environment meets the necessary technical requirements. Verdant is a decentralized application (dApp) built on Solana, requiring a compatible non-custodial wallet and a modern web browser.

Browser Requirements

For the best performance and stability during the cryptographic shard generation process, we recommend using Chromium-based browsers:

• Google Chrome (Latest Version)

• Brave Browser (Shields down for the dApp domain recommended)

• Microsoft Edge

Wallet Requirements

You must have a Solana-compatible non-custodial wallet installed as a browser extension. Verdant does not hold custody of your private keys; all interactions are signed locally on your device.

Supported wallets include:

• Phantom (Recommended for best UI integration)

• Solflare

• Backpack

Hardware Considerations

The Verdant client performs lightweight cryptographic operations locally to generate shard addresses and encrypt intents before sending them to the network.

• Memory: Minimum 4GB RAM is recommended.

• Connection: A stable broadband connection is required to ensure synchronization with the Solana RPC nodes.
