Step 1

Prepare MetaMask

Install, unlock, and isolate a deployer account.

  • Install MetaMask (desktop extension or mobile browser) and unlock before continuing.
  • Back up the 12-word seed phrase securely; never commit private keys to Git.
  • Create a dedicated DIDLab deployer account so personal wallets remain isolated.
  • Upgrade Node.js to 22+ before running the Quickstart commands.

Step 2

Connect and configure

Add the DIDLab network, explorer, and TrustToken to MetaMask.

Step 4

Move to deployment

Clone the repo, set env vars, and follow the Quickstart lifecycle.

Scaffold your own project repo, copy .env.example to .env, and set DEPLOYER_KEY to the wallet you just funded.

Walk through the Quickstart lifecycle to compile, test, and deploy on chain ID 252501.

Record contract addresses in your project config so explorers, dashboards, and ops scripts stay aligned.

Step 5

Start Building

You are all set! Now it's time to start building on DIDLab.

You have successfully connected your wallet to the DIDLab network and received your initial funds. You are now ready to start building your own decentralized identity solutions.
