Running a validator or managing mining operations on the Gonka network traditionally requires CLI expertise and careful key management. Gonka Tools eliminates this complexity with a browser-based interface that handles validator setup, collateral operations, and governance participation — all through your web3 wallet.

No backend services. No API keys. No command-line required. Just connect your Keplr wallet (software or Ledger hardware) and manage your entire Gonka validator lifecycle from a single interface.

What Is Gonka Tools?

Gonka Tools is a web interface for performing operations on the Gonka network via a web3 wallet. It runs entirely in your browser and connects directly to Gonka RPC/API endpoints through the Keplr extension.

Key characteristics:

• Zero trust architecture — your keys never leave your wallet
• Supports both software wallets and Ledger hardware wallets via Keplr
• Auto-configures gonka-mainnet chain parameters via experimentalSuggestChain
• Real-time balance tracking across liquid, active collateral, and unbonding states
• Direct RPC/API communication — no intermediary servers

Primary use cases:

• New validator setup (extract pubkey for config.env)
• Collateral deposits and withdrawals
• Granting ML ops permissions to hot validator keys
• Governance voting on network proposals
• Validator unjailing and metadata editing
• Inspecting any Gonka address state (even without wallet connection)
