Authentication and Accounts

Walrus Console signs you in with the Google or Apple account you already have. There is no wallet to connect, no seed phrase to record, and no crypto setup: you sign in and start storing data.

For the product model, see the concepts and overview.

How sign-in works​

Console uses Sui zkLogin. You authenticate with an identity provider you already have, and Console derives a Sui address from that identity without exposing your provider account onchain and without asking you to manage a private key.

Sign in with Google or Apple​

  1. Visit the Walrus Console app.
  2. Choose Continue with Google or Continue with Apple and complete the provider sign-in.
  3. Console provisions your account and a Personal Space, then takes you to the dashboard.

Apple sign-in derives your Sui address from your Apple identity the same way. It accepts Apple's private email relay, so you can use the Hide My Email option.

By continuing, you accept the Walrus Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which are also linked on the sign-in page.

Your Pearl wallet​

On first sign-in, Console silently provisions a Pearl wallet, the embedded wallet Console manages on your behalf, for your derived Sui address. This wallet holds the storage resources your data uses. Console manages the wallet and paying for transactions for you, so you do not need to fund it or sign transactions.

Accounts stay separate per identity​

warning

Each identity provider maps to a separate Console account and a separate Sui address. If you sign in with Google and later sign in with Apple, you get two independent accounts, not one merged account. Data stored under one is not visible under the other.

Choose one provider and use it consistently.

Wallet sign-in​

Console does not offer sign-in with a Sui wallet. Sign in with Google or Apple. Data you store through Console lives under the address derived from that sign-in, not under any Sui wallet you hold. The one place Console uses an external wallet is the Memory tab, where connecting your Walrus Memory account verifies that you own it.

Delete your account​

Deleting your account is self-service. See Delete your account for what it removes and what it keeps.
