Question 1

What does self-custody mean in a wallet?

Accepted Answer

A self-custodial wallet keeps control of the private keys with the user. That means the wallet owner is responsible for the account, the recovery phrase, and every transaction they approve. Martian does not hold wallet data on a server for you. Accounts are not tied to an email login. Each wallet is protected by a recovery phrase that cannot be reset by support. No back-office process can unlock the wallet for someone else. Never share your recovery phrase or private key. If it has been exposed, move assets to a new wallet as soon as possible.

Question 2

What are Aptos and Sui?

Accepted Answer

Aptos and Sui are Layer 1 blockchain networks built for scalable Web3 activity. Both use the Move programming language and are designed to process transactions efficiently across their ecosystems.

Question 3

How can I keep my wallet safer?

Accepted Answer

Review balance changes before approving a transaction, especially when a dApp asks for permissions involving tokens or NFTs.

Check every signing request carefully. If a website asks for access you do not understand, reject the request and verify the app first.

If you connected to a suspicious site, open trusted apps in settings and revoke that connection. As long as your recovery phrase and private key were not shared, revoking access helps limit future interaction from that dApp.

Staying cautious with approvals is one of the best ways to protect activity on Aptos and Sui.

Question 4

Can I use Martian Wallet on iOS or Android?

Accepted Answer

Martian Wallet is currently focused on browser extension usage. Mobile availability can change over time, so users should rely on official Martian channels for supported platform updates.

Question 5

Can Martian recover assets I sent by mistake?

Accepted Answer

Martian Wallet cannot reverse confirmed blockchain transactions or recover assets sent to the wrong address. Once a transaction is finalized on-chain, it cannot be edited by the wallet provider.

Question 6

What is a mainnet?

Accepted Answer

Mainnet is the live version of a blockchain network. Real assets move there, fees are paid there, and transactions have real on-chain effect.

Question 7

Do Aptos and Sui use different addresses?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Aptos and Sui are separate Layer 1 networks with their own account models and transaction systems.

Each network validates activity independently and uses its own token for network fees.

Because of that, your Aptos address and Sui address should be treated as separate addresses.

Question 8

Can Martian Wallet access my funds?

Accepted Answer

No. In a self-custodial setup, funds are controlled by the wallet keys held by the user.

Martian Wallet displays wallet activity and helps you sign transactions locally, but it does not custody your assets or privately unlock your account.

Keep your recovery phrase and private key offline and private. Anyone with those details can control the wallet.

Question 9

How do I receive NFTs on Aptos?

Accepted Answer

Open Martian Wallet and make sure the selected network is Aptos. If needed, switch networks from the wallet settings. Fund the Aptos account with a small amount of APT so the account can be active on-chain. Open the NFTs area in the wallet. Enable NFT receiving and approve the required transaction. After that, you can receive NFTs on the Aptos network.

Question 10

How can I buy APT through the wallet?

Accepted Answer

When a buy provider is available in the wallet, choose the buy option and follow the provider flow for APT. Select a supported provider such as MoonPay or Coinbase when shown. Enter the amount you want to purchase. Provide the email and verification details requested by the provider. Complete any required identity checks. Submit the Aptos wallet address and confirm the purchase details. Check your wallet balance after the transaction is processed.

Question 11

How can I bridge assets between Aptos and Sui?

Accepted Answer

Use the bridge flow from the wallet home screen when the feature is available for the selected asset and network. Choose Bridge from the wallet interface. Select the source account and source network. Enter the amount you want to move. Choose the destination network and receiving account. Review the preview carefully before confirming. Approve the transaction and then verify the updated balance.

Question 12

What are Aptos devnet, testnet, and mainnet?

Accepted Answer

Aptos devnet is typically used for early developer testing and feedback. Testnet is a broader environment for builders to test apps in a setting that behaves more like mainnet. Aptos mainnet is the production network where real transactions occur and APT has real value.

Question 13

How do I create an Aptos wallet?

Accepted Answer

Install Martian Wallet from an official source, then choose whether to create a new wallet or import an existing one. Create or import a wallet. Set a strong password for local access. Write down the recovery phrase and store it offline. Pin the wallet extension in your browser. Unlock the wallet and switch to your Aptos account.

Question 14

How can Sui NFT claims through social campaigns work?

Accepted Answer

Sui projects may run social campaigns that distribute coins or NFTs to eligible participants. Eligibility depends on the campaign rules set by the project. Connect the wallet account required by the campaign before participating. Complete the social action requested by the campaign. Confirm that you are part of the eligible group defined by the project. Approve any wallet prompt only after checking the details.

Question 15

Can one wallet connect more than one social account on Sui?

Accepted Answer

A wallet can contain multiple accounts, but a single wallet address should only be linked to one social handle at a time when a feature requires that connection.

Question 16

How can I send Sui tokens using a social handle?

Accepted Answer

If a social transfer feature is supported, the wallet must show a transaction approval before anything is sent. Use the supported message format for the network and token. Approve the transaction from your Martian Wallet account. Make sure the recipient has connected the required social handle. Keep enough SUI for both the amount and gas. Do not send to your own connected handle.

Question 17

How do I unlink a social account from Sui in Martian?

Accepted Answer

Open Martian Wallet. Select the Sui account linked to the social handle. Open the account or profile control where the handle is shown. Confirm the unlink action when prompted. Check that the handle no longer appears on that account.

Question 18

How do I link a Sui address with a social account?

Accepted Answer

When social linking is available, start from the Sui network inside Martian Wallet. Open Martian Wallet and switch to Sui. Choose the Sui account you want to connect. Select the social linking option in the wallet. Review the permissions page before continuing. Authorize only if you understand the requested access. Return to the wallet and verify the linked handle.

Question 19

Is Sui on mainnet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sui has a live mainnet. Martian Wallet users can switch between supported Aptos and Sui networks from the wallet controls.

Question 20

How do I start using NFTs on Sui?

Accepted Answer

You can receive NFTs on Sui by using your public Sui address or by connecting the wallet to a supported NFT marketplace or app. Always review transaction prompts before approving.

Question 21

How can I use Sui testnet in Martian Wallet?

Accepted Answer

After creating or importing a wallet, switch the network selector to a supported Sui testnet environment when available. Select the Sui testnet from the wallet network menu. Request faucet tokens through the official Sui community process if available. Use testnet tokens only for testing apps and wallet behavior.

Question 22

Why did my Sui testnet address change?

Accepted Answer

Sui testnet upgrades can introduce address or account changes. If a testnet address changes after an update, check the latest Sui documentation and Martian release notes before continuing tests.

Question 23

How can I stake SUI with Martian Wallet?

Accepted Answer

When staking is available for your account, use the Sui mainnet staking flow inside the wallet. Switch the wallet to Sui mainnet. Choose the staking option. Review available validators and their details. Enter the amount of SUI to stake. Approve the transaction only after checking the summary.

Question 24

Can I swap tokens on Sui with Martian Wallet?

Accepted Answer

Martian Wallet can support Sui swap access where integrations are available. Always review the route, token amounts, fees, and receiving asset before signing.

Question 25

Who operates validators on Sui?

Accepted Answer

Sui is operated by a set of independent validators. The active validator set can include infrastructure teams, ecosystem contributors, and professional node operators.

Question 26

What does a validator do on Sui?

Accepted Answer

Validators process requests, maintain network state, and participate in consensus. Each validator runs Sui software and helps confirm network activity. Sui uses a delegated proof-of-stake design, so staking helps determine validator participation and incentives. Validators earn rewards for honest operation, while poor behavior can affect stake and rewards.

Question 27

How do I report Sui bugs or wallet issues?

Accepted Answer

If you run into a Sui issue, gather details before contacting support or opening a community ticket. Include screenshots when possible. Share the public wallet address involved, never a recovery phrase or private key. Mention the wallet version from settings. Add a console screenshot if a browser error appears.

Question 28

How can peer-to-peer transfers through social posts work?

Accepted Answer

A social transfer flow uses a public post format and then asks the wallet owner to approve the actual transaction inside Martian Wallet. Link the relevant social account with the wallet account. Create the supported transfer message. Wait for the wallet approval prompt. Review the recipient, amount, network, and token. Approve only if every detail is correct.

Question 29

How can I buy SUI through the wallet?

Accepted Answer

If a buy provider is available, use the wallet buy flow and complete the provider's checkout steps. Select the buy option and choose a supported provider such as MoonPay or Transak. Enter the fiat amount for the SUI purchase. Provide the email and verification code requested by the provider. Complete any required identity checks. Enter the wallet address and confirm the transaction details. Check the wallet balance after processing completes.

Question 30

What are Sui devnet and testnet?

Accepted Answer

Sui devnet is a development environment for testing early network and app behavior. Testnet is a broader staging network where builders can try features before mainnet usage. Testnet data can be reset during upgrades, so assets and balances there should be treated as temporary testing data.

Question 31

How do I create a Sui wallet?

Accepted Answer

Install Martian Wallet from an official source, then create a new wallet or import an existing one. Create a new wallet or choose import. Set a strong password. Write down and safely store the recovery phrase. Pin the browser extension for easier access. Unlock the wallet and open the Sui account.
