Accessing the Network Nervous System dApp

Getting access to the decentralized application

To access the Network Nervous System dApp, you need an Internet Identity. If you want to create one, have a look at Creating an Internet Identity.

Here’s a walk-through of accessing the decentralized app.

To get started with the official Network Nervous System Dapp, visit nns.ic0.app.

Click on Login and authenticate with your Internet Identity. Once you’ve clicked Authenticate, authorize authentication by clicking on Proceed.

That’s it! You’re now successfully logged into the dApp.

Here’s what you can do with the official NNS dApp:

Your NNS dApp wallet allows you to receive, send, and store ICP tokens. It also shows your balances and transaction history.

The NNS dApp allows you to stake your ICP in neurons so that you can earn rewards by staking your tokens.

Participating in the Internet Computer’s governance is possible by staking ICP in Neurons.

Canisters are computational units on the IC (a form of smart contracts). They are powered by converting ICP into “cycles”
