Install Blockchain Tools

Before installation

Install and activate Cointacted Social Terminal and Cointacted Blockchain Core first. Add a compatible provider addon, such as Cointacted MetaMask, when users need wallet-backed lookups or transactions.

Do not run the retired Cointacted – Blockchain addon beside Blockchain Tools. Deactivate the retired addon before continuing.

Install the plugin

1. In WordPress, open Plugins → Add Plugin → Upload Plugin.
2. Select the current cointacted-blockchain-tools.zip package.
3. Choose Install Now, then Activate Plugin.
4. Open Cointacted → Blockchain.
5. Confirm the status panel reports Blockchain Tools and the expected Free or Pro mode.

Preserve the plugin folder slug cointacted-blockchain-tools when deploying or updating the package.

Configure networks

The Cointacted → Blockchain page is the single network workspace shared with Blockchain Core.

1. Review the enabled network catalog.
2. Add RPC overrides only when the default provider route is unsuitable.
3. Add custom EVM or Solana networks with the correct chain identifier, RPC endpoint, and explorer URL.
4. Save, then use rpc test in Social Terminal on the intended active network.
5. Connect a wallet and use address, tx, or block to confirm the Free read path.

Never publish private RPC credentials in documentation, screenshots, terminal output, or client-side configuration.

Enable Pro sending only after staging tests

Pro read features become available when the site has the Blockchain Tools Pro capability. Sending remains off until an administrator enables Guarded sending tools under Cointacted → Blockchain.

Before enabling it on production:

1. Test on the exact supported test network and wallet provider.
2. Verify wrong-account and wrong-network attempts are blocked.
3. Verify simulation failure does not open a wallet prompt.
4. Verify the preview expires after 90 seconds and requires a separate confirmation gesture.
5. Verify rejection, cancellation, confirmation progress, provider interruption, and successful confirmation.
6. For approved contract writes, confirm Blockchain Core contains the exact allowlisted contract and typed callable schema.

This release permits approved contract writes only through the reviewed zero-native-value EVM boundary. Page components must not supply an address, ABI, method, calldata, RPC URL, or provider credential directly.

Optional transaction journal

Cross-session browser-assisted receipt checks require:

• Blockchain Core transaction journal enabled
• a signed-in WordPress user
• the user's explicit current journal consent
• a compatible provider connected to the exact saved ecosystem and chain

The journal does not monitor while the browser is closed and never switches networks automatically.

Continue with the command and transaction guide.
