Suggested Steps

  1. Transfer a single $DAG token into your newly imported wallet.
  2. Review the contents of your wallet through the Stargazer wallet application and confirm that the $DAG has appeared in your wallet.
  3. Review the contents of your wallet directly from your node and confirm that the $DAG has appeared in your wallet.
sudo nodectl dag -p <profile_name>

Once you have confirmed that the transfer was successful, you may proceed to populate your wallet with the full amount of $DAG. You can do this through multiple transfers or a single large transfer, depending on your comfort level.

Once complete, review the contents again on both the Stargazer wallet application and from our node.
