Connect Your Sui Wallet
Install a Sui wallet
If you don’t already have one, install a Sui-compatible browser wallet extension. Tusky supports any wallet that implements the Sui Wallet Standard:
- Sui Wallet — official wallet from Mysten Labs
- Suiet — popular community wallet
- Ethos Wallet — developer-friendly option
Sign in to Tusky
Go to app.tusky.io and click Connect Wallet. Select your wallet from the connection prompt and approve the sign-in request.Tusky will ask your wallet to sign a message to verify ownership. This does not cost any gas and does not submit a transaction to the chain.
Account provisioned
Once your wallet is connected, Tusky automatically provisions your account with:
- A dedicated managed wallet for publishing to the Walrus network
- A prepaid wallet balance (initially unfunded — you will add SUI and WAL in the next step)
- A private aggregator endpoint for serving your content
- Access to the dashboard for managing environments, files, and settings
Your Managed Publishing Wallet
When you create a Tusky account, Tusky generates a dedicated managed wallet on your behalf. This wallet is used exclusively for publishing blobs to the Walrus network.The managed wallet is distinct from the Sui wallet you connect with. Your connected wallet is used for authentication and encryption. The managed wallet is used for Walrus publishing transactions.
Why a managed wallet?
Publishing to Walrus requires submitting on-chain transactions — registering blobs, paying storage fees, and managing epochs. Running these transactions from your personal wallet would require you to approve every upload individually. The managed wallet removes this friction:- Automatic publishing — uploads happen without manual transaction approval
- Funded from your prepaid balance — SUI and WAL are transferred from your prepaid wallet to the managed wallet as needed
- Isolated — the managed wallet is only used for Walrus storage operations and cannot access other assets in your personal wallet
- Transparent — you can view all managed wallet transactions in the dashboard or on a Sui explorer
Ejecting to self-management
If you decide to leave Tusky or manage your Walrus blobs directly, you can eject your data at any time:- Export a list of all blob IDs associated with your account
- Transfer blob ownership to your personal wallet
- Manage renewals, deletions, and access independently on Walrus
Ejection is a one-way operation per blob. Once a blob is transferred to your personal wallet, Tusky no longer manages its lifecycle. You are responsible for renewals and storage epoch management.
