ioID Step by Step Tutorial

Depending on the development stage of a DePIN project, there are multiple ways it can integrate ioID. In this section of the documentation, we share different integration flows tailored to various use cases.

1. A fully decentralized approach

2. A "proxy contract" approach

Before you begin working with the IoTeX blockchain and related tools, follow these preliminary steps to set up your development environment.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following tools installed:

• ioctl: For interacting with the IoTeX blockchain.

• curl: For sending messages to the API node.

• jq: To format JSON output.

Create and fund a Developer wallet

Start by creating an IoTeX developer wallet and funding it with test tokens.

ioctl account createadd devaccount

Note the 0x wallet address provided.

Set ioctl on the IoTeX testnet:

ioctl config set endpoint api.testnet.iotex.one:443

Claim test IOTX: You can claim test IOTX tokens on the IoTeX Developer portal at https://developers.iotex.io/faucet.

Configure Metamask: if you need to configure Metamask with IoTeX for convenience, you can do so on the

Check the balance of your wallet with:

ioctl account balance devaccount

Export the private key with:

ioctl account export devaccount
