Creating & Managing Personas

A Persona in Verdant Privacy acts as an isolated container for your identity. Think of a Persona as a master folder that holds a specific group of wallet addresses (shards). You might create one Persona for "Day Trading" and a completely separate Persona for "NFT Storage."

Step 1: Access the Identity Manager

  1. Navigate to the Verdant Dashboard.

  2. Connect your Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack).

  3. Locate the Identity Manager sidebar on the left side of the interface.

Step 2: Create a New Persona

  1. Click the + Create New Persona button.

  2. A modal window will appear asking for a Persona Label. Enter a name that helps you identify this profile (e.g., "Alpha_Fund_01").

  3. Click Initialize.

  4. Wallet Signature: Your wallet extension will prompt you to sign a message.

    Note: This signature is free. It allows the protocol to cryptographically derive a unique seed for this specific Persona based on your master private key.

Step 3: Managing Active Personas

Once created, your Persona will appear in the sidebar list.

  • Active Status: Click on a Persona to make it active. The dashboard will update to show the balance and shards associated only with that Persona.

  • Stealth Mode: You can toggle a Persona to "Stealth" in the settings. This hides the balances from the main dashboard view to prevent prying eyes in public spaces.

  • Deleting a Persona: You can remove a Persona from your local view. However, since the Persona is derived from your wallet key, you can always "recover" it later by creating a new Persona with the exact same name.
