Ethereum Atomic Swaps Configuration

Connecting to Ethereum

To link your Ethereum and Beam wallets together, you must have an Infura account as well as an Ethereum Metamask.

Infura is the API service that broadcasts information from the Ethereum blockchain, and Metamask is a browser-based Ethereum wallet.

Note: infura.io requires specific parameters from your Beam wallet as well as valid email address verification.

Before attempting to create an Ethereum <> Beam Atomic Swap make sure your wallet balance has enough Ethereum to cover mining fees.

Launch infura.io.
Go to Settings > "keys" > Copy Project ID.
Launch your Beam wallet.
Go to Settings> "Connectivity" > "Ethereum" > Paste Project ID.
Click "Generate Seed Phrase" to generate the seed phrase you will import to your Metamask. You can also use an existing seed phrase.
Copy seed phrase > "apply changes" > "Connect to node."
Launch Metamask > click "import using account seed phrase."
Enter your seed phrase and create a strong wallet password.

If you have successfully linked your accounts, a green light will appear next to the Ethereum node indicating the connection was a success!
