Walendria never touches your money — you fund your own wallet, and you stay in control the whole way through. This is an honest, step-by-step guide to getting the currency Walendria uses (xDAI on Gnosis Chain) into your wallet using everyday payment methods, including QRIS, bank transfer, and e-wallets for readers in Indonesia. Once you have funds, see How to Use the Walendria Website for what to do next.
What you're funding — and why Walendria doesn't do it for you
Walendria is a non-custodial protocol on Gnosis Chain. It has no account, no balance it holds for you, and deliberately nodeposit button. That is not a missing feature — it is the whole point. The moment a service holds your money and moves it for you, it stops being a neutral protocol and becomes a money operator. Keeping that out means two things: you stay in control of your own funds at every moment, and Walendria stays a pure piece of on-chain infrastructure.
So funding is something you do, once, with a regulated provider you choose. What you need at the end is simple: some xDAI in your own self-custodial wallet, on Gnosis Chain(chain id 100). On Gnosis, xDAI is both the money you spend on listings and the token that pays gas — so keep a little spare for fees, which run a fraction of a cent.
The shape of it, in three steps
Wherever you are in the world, the path has the same three steps:
- Get a self-custodial wallet— MetaMask, Rabby, or Rainbow. No email, no account, no password; the wallet is your identity.
- Use a regulated on-ramp to convert your local money (card, bank transfer, or QRIS) into crypto.
- End up with xDAI on Gnosis Chain, in your wallet. Then open walendria.org and use the site.
One identity check, once, on the provider — never on Walendria
Because a regulated on-ramp converts real money, it will ask you to verify your identity a single time. That is the provider'slegal requirement, not Walendria's. The check lives entirely with the on-ramp; Walendria never sees it, never stores it, and never asks for it. Once crypto is in your wallet, Walendria itself asks you for nothing.
The simplest path (most countries): a fiat → xDAI on-ramp
The fewest-steps option is an on-ramp that sells xDAI directly onto Gnosis Chainand delivers it straight to your wallet address — for example, a card-or-bank gateway such as Ramp Network. You set the network to Gnosis Chain and the token to xDAI, paste your wallet address, pay, and the xDAI arrives. No bridging, no swapping.
Honest caveat: which on-ramps operate, what they charge, and the limits they set all vary by country. Check what is actually available where you live before relying on any one of them.
From Indonesia: using QRIS, bank transfer, or an e-wallet
There is no one-tap QRIS-to-xDAI rail today, so from Indonesia it takes a couple of self-service steps. Two routes work — both keep Walendria out of the money entirely.
| Route | You pay with | You end up with |
|---|---|---|
| Via an OJK-licensed exchange | QRIS / bank / e-wallet | Crypto you move onto Gnosis as xDAI |
| Via IDRX (rupiah stablecoin) | QRIS / e-wallet | IDRX on Gnosis, swapped to xDAI |
Route 1 — via an OJK-licensed exchange
Buy crypto with QRIS, a bank transfer, or an e-wallet on an Indonesian exchange that appears on OJK's licensed/registered whitelist— only use ones on that list. Then move the funds onto Gnosis Chain as xDAI. If the exchange can withdraw straight to Gnosis Chain, do that; if it can't, withdraw a widely-supported asset and use a bridge to Gnosis Chain, swapping into xDAI once there. Keep a little xDAI aside for gas.
Route 2 — via IDRX, the rupiah stablecoin
IDRX is a regulated Indonesian-rupiah-backed stablecoin that supports Gnosis Chain. You register at idrx.co, complete their one-time identity verification, and can acquire IDRX using QRIS or an e-wallet. Because IDRX lands on Gnosis Chain — the same chain Walendria runs on — you then simply swap the amount you need into xDAI on a Gnosis Chain exchange (a same-chain swap, no bridge), keeping a little xDAI for gas.
One honest note so you aren't surprised: today Walendria settles in xDAI, so IDRX is a cheap way to get from rupiah onto Gnosis Chain, not the spending currency itself — you convert the part you'll spend into xDAI. If that ever changes, this guide changes with it.
Always check the network — this is the one that bites beginners
Whichever route you take, the funds must end up on Gnosis Chain (chain id 100). Sending to the wrong network is the most common and most painful first-timer mistake. Verify the network on both sides before you send, and the very first time, send a small test amount and confirm it arrives before sending the rest.
A short safety checklist
- Self-custody.Your wallet, your keys. Neither Walendria nor this guide will ever ask for your seed phrase or private key — anyone who does is trying to rob you.
- Use only properly licensed providerswhere you live — in Indonesia, exchanges on OJK's whitelist, and regulated on-ramps.
- Confirm the network is Gnosis Chain (100) on both the sending and receiving side.
- Keep a small xDAI buffer for gasso you're never stuck part-way through a transaction.
- Do a small test transfer first, and confirm it lands, before moving a larger amount.
- Double-check the destination address character by character before you send.
Once you're funded
That's the hard part done, and you only do it once. With xDAI in your wallet on Gnosis Chain, head to walendria.org, connect your wallet, and follow How to Use the Walendria Website to buy, sell, or handle a dispute. If you want the reasoning behind why Walendria is built this way, read What Is Walendria?
Common questions
Why doesn't Walendria have a deposit button or QRIS built in?
Because Walendria is non-custodial: it never holds or moves your money, by design. A built-in fiat deposit would turn Walendria into a money-handling operator. Keeping it out means you stay fully in control of your own funds and Walendria stays a pure on-chain protocol. So you fund your own wallet, once, using any regulated provider you choose — then you use Walendria.
Do I have to do KYC to use Walendria?
Not with Walendria — it has no accounts and asks for no identity or documents at any point. But any regulated service that converts real money into crypto (an exchange or an on-ramp) will verify your identity once, because that is their legal obligation, not Walendria's. That check lives entirely with the on-ramp. Once you hold crypto in your own wallet, using Walendria itself requires no verification whatsoever.
Which currency do I actually need, and on which network?
xDAI, on Gnosis Chain (chain id 100). xDAI is both what you spend on listings and what pays gas, so keep a little spare for transaction fees — gas on Gnosis Chain is a fraction of a cent. If your funds end up on any other network, Walendria cannot use them.
I'm in Indonesia — can I pay with QRIS?
Yes, but to a regulated on-ramp or an OJK-licensed exchange — not to Walendria directly. You use QRIS (or a bank transfer, or an e-wallet) to buy crypto from that provider, get it onto Gnosis Chain as xDAI, and then use Walendria. See the Indonesia section above for the two routes.
I bought IDRX with QRIS — can I spend it on Walendria directly?
Not today. Walendria currently settles in xDAI, so swap the amount you need from IDRX to xDAI on a Gnosis Chain exchange. IDRX already supports Gnosis Chain, so this is a same-chain swap — no bridge needed — and you should keep a little xDAI afterwards for gas. IDRX is useful here as a cheap rupiah-to-Gnosis path, not as the spending currency itself.
My funds didn't arrive, or went somewhere I didn't expect.
This is almost always a network mismatch: the funds must land on Gnosis Chain (chain id 100), not Ethereum or another network. Look up the transaction on a block explorer, confirm which network it actually landed on, and next time verify the network on both the sending and receiving side before you send — and send a small test amount first.
How much should I start with?
Enough to cover what you plan to buy, plus a small xDAI buffer for gas (again, a fraction of a cent per transaction on Gnosis Chain). The protocol also has an immutable 100 xDAI per-transaction hardcap, so no single transaction ever needs more than that.
