Networks and coin ids

PortMula runs on one Algorand network at a time, and your agent's wallet lives on that network. Every coin on Algorand is identified by a number, its asset id. A name proves nothing, because anyone can create a coin and call it USDC, so go by the id.

Which network your wallet is on

The Add funds tab on the Wallet page names it under the QR code. On testnet, coins have no value, so never send real funds there. On mainnet, coins are real and transactions cannot be undone.

An address looks the same on every Algorand network. A coin sent to it on a different network does not appear in your agent's wallet here, and your agent cannot use it.

Why the id matters more than the name

A coin's name and its short unit name are chosen by whoever created it, and nothing stops a look-alike copying them. The asset id is unique on its network and cannot be copied. Ids belong to one network: the same number can name a different coin, or none, on the other network. PortMula itself picks USDC by its id, never by its name.

Where to see a coin's id

• Holdings, on the Wallet page: under each coin's name is asset followed by its id. ALGO is the network's own asset and needs none. A tick after a name means the coin is on PortMula's verified list.
• Inbox: each waiting coin shows its id.
• The card you approve to start or stop holding a coin, or to claim one, names the coin with its id.
• Withdraw: a coin whose name could not be read is listed by its id, and Other asset id lets you type one.

View on explorer, on the Add funds tab, opens the wallet on a public block explorer, where you can check the same ids.

Pin the id when it matters

Before sending a coin to your agent from an exchange or another wallet, check that its id matches the row in Holdings. In Terminal, you can name a coin that is on the verified list. When several coins share a name, your agent lists them with their ids and asks, and it never picks an unverified coin for you. Verified coins and look-alikes covers the list.
