Dunemark

Your questions, answered

Straight answers to what people ask us most

First steps

How do I set up Dunemark?
1

Open dunemark.app/start in the browser you use every day.

2

Choose where the vault should live:

  • Dunemark runs as a browser add-on on every major desktop browser.
  • The Dunemark handheld build covers phones and tablets.
  • You can also open a read-only vault straight from the web.
I already run the Dunemark add-on on my laptop. Can that same vault open on my phone as well?

Yes. One recovery phrase restores the same vault on as many devices as you like — balances stay in sync because they live on-chain, not on the device.

Do I need to own tokens before I start?

No. Creating an empty vault is free and takes about two minutes. You only need a balance when you want to move something.

How do I move funds into Dunemark? What is the quickest way to top up a vault I just made?

Copy your receiving code from the vault header and paste it wherever the funds sit today. Most transfers land in under four minutes.

How do I bring balances over from a vault I kept elsewhere? How do I send those coins back out?

Use Restore vault and enter the twelve recovery words from your old vault, or send the balance across as a normal transfer. Sending out works the same way in reverse.

How do I send coins to someone else?

Tap Send, paste their receiving code, pick the amount, and confirm. Dunemark shows the network fee before you sign anything.

How do I cash out? How do I move a balance back to my bank account?

Dunemark never holds your money, so cashing out means sending the balance to a licensed exchange in your country and withdrawing from there.

Where do I find my Dunemark receiving code?

It sits under the vault name at the top of the panel. One tap copies it; the code is safe to share with anyone paying you.

Holding your assets

Which coins and networks does Dunemark hold?

Dunemark speaks to 34 public networks out of the box, and any token issued on one of them shows up automatically once it lands in your vault.

Does Dunemark work with standard token contracts?

Yes — every widely used fungible-token standard is supported, plus the two newer permit standards for gasless approvals.

Can I keep collectibles in a vault?

They live in the Collection tab with full artwork previews. Sending one works exactly like sending a coin.

Can I trade one token for another?

Yes. Dunemark compares quotes across 11 liquidity sources and routes the trade through whichever returns the most.

Can I pair a hardware key with Dunemark?

Plug the key in, open Settings → Signing devices, and pick it. Keys stay on the device; Dunemark only ever sees the signature.

Transfers

What is a receiving code, exactly?

A short public string that points at your vault. Sharing it lets people pay you; it can never be used to spend what is already inside.

How do I deposit, collect, or hand off funds?

All three live behind the same pair of buttons on the vault header: Receive shows your code, Send asks for theirs.

Trades

How do I trade tokens inside Dunemark?

Open Trade, pick what you hold and what you want, then review the quote. Nothing moves until you sign.

Why did my trade get rejected?

Usually the price moved past your drift limit while the trade was queued. Raise the limit a little and try again during a calmer stretch.

Why is a token missing from the trade list?

Thin markets are hidden by default to protect you from bad fills. Paste the contract address into the search field to trade it anyway.

What does price drift mean?

The gap between the quote you saw and the price you actually got. Dunemark defaults to a 0.4% ceiling and cancels anything worse.

Why must I grant access to a token before trading it?

Token contracts require a one-time permission before a trading venue can move that balance. Dunemark asks for the exact amount, never an open-ended allowance.

Does Dunemark take a cut of each trade?

A 0.72% service fee is folded into the quote you see, so the number on screen is the number you get. Network fees are separate and go to validators.

Safety

How do I keep a vault safe?

Write the recovery words on paper, store them somewhere only you can reach, and never type them into a page that asks for them. No one at Dunemark will ever request them.

How do I bring an existing vault into Dunemark?

Pick Restore vault on the welcome panel and enter your recovery words in order. Balances reappear within a minute.

How do I add a second account to a vault?

Use Add account in the account switcher. Every account you create shares the same recovery words but keeps its own balance and history.

I forgot my passcode. Can I get back in?

The passcode only unlocks this device. Reinstall Dunemark, restore with your recovery words, and set a fresh passcode.

I lost my recovery words. Can the vault be rebuilt?

Not by us. Dunemark holds no copy of your words, which is what makes the vault yours alone. If a device is still unlocked, reveal and rewrite them today.

Account privacy

We keep no account records and no name on file. Usage telemetry is off until you switch it on, and it never carries a receiving code.

Backing up your recovery words

Two paper copies in two separate places beats one perfect copy in one place. Skip screenshots, cloud notes, and anything that syncs.

Running Dunemark on a shared machine

Treat a shared machine as untrusted: use the read-only web vault, or restore on your own device instead. Auto-lock defaults to four minutes.

Fixing problems: help desk

Why did the Dunemark app quit on me?

Nearly always an outdated build. Update, restart the device, and reopen the vault — nothing is lost when the app closes unexpectedly.

Why is my balance still showing yesterday's number?

A network node has fallen behind. Switch to a different node under Settings → Networks, then pull the balance list down to refresh.

Why can't I see a token I own?

Check that you are on the network the token was issued on, then add it by contract address. The balance was always there — only the label was missing.

None of these answers my question. How do I reach a person?

Write to help@dunemark.app. Our team replies in about nine hours on weekdays and never asks for recovery words.

I hit a bug. Where do I report it?

Use Report a problem in the vault menu — it attaches your build number and the last few log lines, with no vault data.

How do I send an idea to the team that builds Dunemark?

The open request board is linked from the vault menu. Anything with more than 250 votes gets a written response from an engineer.

A site won't connect to my vault. What now?

Unlock the vault first, then clear that site from Connected sites and reconnect. Older sites sometimes need the desktop add-on rather than the handheld build.

How do I move to the newest build of Dunemark?

Updates install on their own within a day. To force one, open Settings → About and choose Check for build.

Still stuck? Here is where to go next.

The written guides cover setup, trading and recovery in more depth, and the community forum answers most questions within the hour. Both are linked from the vault menu.
