Connect to the Blockchain
Add the Ethereum Wallet to the blockchain network you created and connect it to the network
Once the Blockchain network has been created, let's connect to the Blockchain with the Ethereum Wallet app. In this example, we will use Lunascape Wallet as the Ethereum Wallet app.
For enhanced security, the G.U. Blockchain Cloud closes its ports to prevent external access to the blockchain network by default. Therefore, in order to connect to the Blockchain from the outside, you need to open the port manually.
※1) In order to connect to the Blockchain, you must have a Wallet installed. In this chapter, we will explain the procedure when using Lunascape Wallet.
To open the port, follow the steps below.
After confirming that the network creation is complete, click the key mark at the beginning of the RPC endpoint. Click "Add Inbound rules" in the pop-up that appears.
Add inbound rules
When the Security tab appears, click "Edit Rules".
Edit Rules
Click "Add Rule" in the Edit Inbound Rules screen.
Add Rule
Change the type of the added inbound rule to "RPC".
RPC
Next, change the Access From to "My IP address.
My IP address
Confirm that your IP address has been added, and click the "Update".
Update IP address
Select the network you have created from the [Blockchain Network] at the top of the left side menu bar to return to the network confirmation screen. Check the key symbol for the RPC endpoint on this screen. If the key is open, the port is open.
Points to note when selecting "Anywhere" as the access source
There is a security risk when exposing the ports of a cluster or node that contains a "Singer Node" to "Anywhere". Furthermore, there is a risk that Ether in the signature address of that node may be transferred without permission, so we recommend that you do not expose it except for your own servers. If you want to publish an Endpoint to the entire Internet or to guest users, create a separate cluster that contains only Transaction nodes and publish the Endpoint there.
Confirm the port is open
Register the Blockchain network you created as a custom network to the Wallet application. From the network confirmation screen, click the symbol to the right of the [Geth RPC endpoint address] and copy the address.
Copy Geth RPC Endpoint
Click on the [Settings icon] to open the settings window.

Once you have added a network, you can add tokens issued on that network. Please follow the steps below to add Ether cards to the Lunascape Wallet.
(Supplement)
Lunascape Wallet supports ETH, the commission currency, as well as tokens made with the
ERC20 standard.
Lunascape Wallet Add Currency
Configure the following settings in the screen below.
- Select the network you added from the Network pull-down menu
- Specify the number of digits after the decimal point when displaying the amount as an integer in the "Decimals for display" field
- Select ETH as the "Token Type"
Lunascape Wallet Select Network
Once the above settings are made, click the "Add Currency".
Once the above settings are made, click the "Add Currency".
Check the network name in the upper left corner of the card and make sure that the card has been added to the selected network. If the Wallet is using the address you entered as allocAddress when you created the network, the initial Ether of 1 billion Ether will be displayed. If the address is not, 0 will be displayed.
