Particle Network's Dashboard

Central to the implementation of Particle Network's Smart Wallet-as-a-Service and BTC Connect SDKs, the Particle Network dashboard acts as a central source for authenticating your project, tracking users, managing your paymaster instance, customizing the authentication interface, and more.

This page will provide an overview of each major functionality offered by the Particle Network dashboard.

Project Management

Every SDK provided by Particle Network requires the usage of three key values for authentication; your Project ID, Client Key, and App ID. These values can only be retrieved through the creation of a project and associated application through the Particle dashboard.

The Particle dashboard's main purpose is to manage specific instances of Particle's Wallet Abstraction stack; this is done through two types of containers:

  1. Project, a collection of multiple applications.
    A project contains data and configurations relevant to the applications it contains.
  1. Application, a specific instance of Particle Auth or BTC Connect on either iOS, Android, or Web.
    An application, denominated by the App ID, acts as the identifier for a given instance of Particle Network. During construction, applications have two options to consider:
    • Multi-device login, determining whether or not a user will maintain the same account across multiple devices (as it pertains to social logins, if applicable).
    • Login Redirect Link, the ability to add externally define redirect links to implement custom onboarding flows post-login.

User Activity

With an application defined and active, the Particle dashboard will measure and reflect the activity of your application(s) through the "Activity" tab. This will track the following data points:

  • Total users, as indicated through the total number of wallet connections or social logins done through Particle.
  • New users, those who recently onboarded to your application(s).
  • Active users, those who frequently connect to your application(s).
  • Verification messages (total, SMS, and email), tracking the number of verification messages sent to users through the email or phone login process.

Team

In scenarios where multiple individuals need access to a given project and the applications within it on the Particle dashboard, the "Team" tab can be used to manage these access controls.

New team members can be added as either an "Administrator" with write permissions (the ability to add and edit applications, change branding, manage custom authentication, etc.) or a "Viewer" with exclusively read permissions (for viewing the contents of the dashboard).

This is handled on a per-project basis; giving someone access to your project will include access to all of the applications within it.


Branding

Particle Network's older SDKs, such as @particle-network/auth (not Particle Auth Core) can be customized through the "Branding" tab. This customization includes significant changes to coloring, borders, and text within the login, verification, and transaction interfaces. For newer SDKs, such as Particle Auth Core, these interfaces need to be programmatically customized.

Although applicable across all versions of Particle Auth is the Email/SMS customization present on this page; this tab allows you to change the logo and brand name present within the login verification SMS and email messages.

For more information on modal customization, head over to Customizing Particle Auth and Customizing Particle Wallet.


Users

Offering a more granular view of the users represented within the "Activity" tab, the "Users" tab provides a list of every user who has either connected to your application through Particle Connect (or BTC Connect), or logged in through social login.

Each user entry includes their social account (if applicable), their EVM address, and their Solana address (if a user has only ever used an EVM or Solana address within your application, the other will remain blank). Additionally, timestamps for the date in which the user signed up and was last active are also provided. Similar information is found through the UserInfo object attached to each user (see getUserInfo for more information).

For users who have connected a wallet, only an address and associated timestamps will be available.


Custom

Particle Network supports custom authentication flows through JWT. For developers who need a more customizable, self-hosted approach to authentication (existing outside of Particle's built-in OAuth methods), JWT-based authentication is available, allowing for the implementation of a custom OAuth provider or account flow. Currently, we support RS256.

The "Custom" page allows you to establish your custom JWT configuration through the following parameters:

  • JWKs URI (JWKs can be made through a tool like this), see the attached example as a reference point.
  • Custom ID Key.
  • Optionally, Values Validation Rules.
  • JWT to Verify.

Paymaster

The Particle dashboard is also used to fund and monitor Particle's Omnichain Paymaster, used for sponsoring transactions across 35+ chains. Particle's Omnichain Paymaster takes stablecoin deposits from one chain (such as Ethereum or BNB Chain) and automatically converts it to cover transaction fees on any other chain on which the paymaster is queried (sponsorUserOperation).

Thus, the "Paymaster" page is used to deposit stablecoins, manage sponsorship conditions, and view data such as deposit and consumption records.

To learn more about the process of configuring Particle's Omnichain Paymaster, take a look at Setting up the Particle Omnichain Paymaster.


(Node RPC) Endpoint

Particle Network provides access to authenticated RPC endpoints for the majority of chains it supports; these are free-to-use through either HTTPS or WSS. The "Endpoint" page allows you to retrieve an authenticated HTTPS/WSS URL for a given chain selected through the dropdown menu.

To learn more about Particle Network's RPC nodes, head to RPC Nodes.


(Node RPC) Stats

Tying in with the previous page, the "Stats" tab allows you to view details analytics for requests sent to endpoints authenticated by your projectId, clientKey, and serverKey. This will update with information like your distribution of methods (for example, eth_getBalance), response success rate, total request count, etc.
