How to activate a Xumm card account (and Backup card) on Xahau |
If you already have configured two Xumm cards per these instructions:
{% content-ref url="../../xumm-tangem-cards/getting-started.md" %} getting-started.md {% endcontent-ref %}
this article will walk you through activating your account (and your Backup account) on the Xahau network.
In order to access an account on the XRP Ledger, you must know the account secret (private keys) for that account. Xaman (formerly Xumm) is an application that helps manage your account secret(s) and allows you to access your XRPL account. This processes will duplicate both your Primary card account and your Backup card account on Xahau and activate your Primary card account with 2 XAH.
The following process has two requirements:
- Your Primary card account must be activated on the XRPL.
- Both your Primary card account and your Backup card account must be imported into Xaman.
As long as both of these requirements are met, you can follow these instructions.
1) Launch Xaman and switch to your Primary card account.
