viewing-key

A viewing key is used to authorize the user over any private transaction. A user cannot perform any private transaction which involves seSCRT or sSCRT tokens, if he/she does not posses a viewing key for each of them. A viewing key also allows the user to view his/her seSCRT and sSCRT balance.

On the Stakeeasy platform, user can create two types of viewing keys. One for seSCRT and another for sSCRT. These viewing keys are created from the Stake page and are then stored inside Keplr wallet itself.

Creating a viewing key is simple and is explained in the next section of this article.
