Getting Started: Create Your On-Chain Identity
Before you can use Andamio as a course owner, student, project contributor, or any other role, you need to create your on-chain identity by minting an Access Token.
Your access token has a public alias that cannot be changed once minted, so choose your name carefully.
Prerequisites
- A Cardano wallet (e.g. Lace, Eternl, Nami)
- Some test ADA if using preprod
Walkthrough: Mint Your Access Token
1. Navigate to Andamio
Go to https://app.andamio.io/ and click Enter to get started.


2. Connect Your Wallet
Click Connect Wallet and choose your wallet from the list.


3. Choose Your Alias
Type an alias for your Access Token. This is a unique identifier and cannot be changed.

4. Mint Your Access Token
Click Mint Access Token and sign the transaction in your wallet. Wait for the minting transaction to confirm on Cardano.


5. Sign In
When your access token is confirmed, click Sign In with Your Access Token. Connect your wallet again and sign to authenticate.
