zilWatch FAQ
Last update: 2 July 2021
1. What is zilWatch?
zilWatch.io is a smart dashboard designed for Zilliqa. We aim to be the one-stop solution to track all of your assets in the Zilliqa network. This includes ZILs and ZRC-2 tokens in your wallet, liqudity pool farms, and staked tokens.
2. Who are we and why are we building zilWatch?
We are die-hard Zilliqa enthusiasts who are passionate to push the Zilliqa ecosystem forward. We feel that tracking Zilliqa assets in multiple places can be painful, (e.g., wallet, liquidity pool, staking). Hence we would like to summarize everything in one page, so that we can do what we love the most: To watch our assets grow!
Our mission is to build inclusive products which can benefit every single Zilliqan. Therefore, zilWatch.io dashboard is free and always will be.
We are an independent team, not affiliated to any individuals, companies, or organizations.
3. Which wallets are supported?
As of now, only ZilPay is supported.
4. Do you have a mobile app?
No, we are web-only, please visit us at zilWatch.io. You can also visit us via ZilPay Browser. Have a look at the screenshot below.
5. Is zilWatch free-of-charge?
Yes! It’s completely free and always will be.
6. Is zilWatch safe? Can it steal my tokens?
To view your wallet contents, no transaction is required. We do NOT execute any transactions in your wallet without your consent. If you see a wild pop-up to approve a transaction, please REJECT! It might be a phishing site that tries to steal your tokens.
Update: Now you can swap on zilWatch which directly interacts with ZilSwap smart contract on the blockchain. Please make sure you are visiting our official site zilWatch.io and not a phishing website when swapping on zilWatch.
If you don’t feel comfortable, feel free to clone our code on GitHub and run it locally on your machine.
7. If no transaction is needed to view my wallet, why do I need to connect my wallet?
This is just to prove you are the rightful owner of the wallet you are trying to view. It’s a soft security layer to prevent stalkers or bots from reading others’ data.
Connecting wallet is needed if you would like to swap on zilWatch.
8. Is zilWatch audited? Is zilWatch code public?
No, we are not audited as of now. Feel free to check out zilWatch’s code on GitHub.
9. What about my private data? Are they stored?
We do NOT store any data from your wallet. We only process and aggregate data on your device (client-side) using available public APIs (Zilliqa, Zilswap APIs, etc). If you are not aware, your wallet transactions and status are available to the public without even using zilWatch (e.g., search your address in ViewBlock).
10. I am confused, how to interpret the figures and numbers?
- Net worth: Wallet Balance + LP Balance + Staking Balance
- Wallet Balance: FIAT equivalent of tokens in your wallet
- LP Balance: FIAT equivalent of tokens in liquidity pool (excluding potential reward next epoch)
- Staking Balance: FIAT equivalent of tokens in all Zilliqa staking seed nodes
FIAT represents the currency that you choose (e.g., USD, SGD, EUR).
11. There are missing fields or data in zilWatch. What do I do?
Please refresh the page by pressing the button at the top right. Sometimes the API calls are not successful and hence results in missing data or tokens.
12. Some of my tokens do not appear in zilWatch. Are my tokens gone?
No. We can NOT transact on your wallet without your approval.
Please refresh the page by pressing the button at the top right. Sometimes the API calls are not successful and hence results in missing data or tokens.
13. Why are some ZRC-2 tokens are not shown in zilWatch?
We started with the top 20 ZRC-2 tokens upon launch. If you are a token creator or owner and would like to list your token on zilWatch, feel free to drop us a message in our Telegram group.
