Connect Wallet to PTB Builder

In this lesson, you'll connect your Slush wallet to PTB Builder. It's not difficult—follow the steps and you'll be done in a few minutes.

What is PTB Builder?​

PTB Builder is a developer tool that lets you visually build and execute Sui transactions (Programmable Transaction Blocks / PTBs).

Normally, creating transactions requires using the CLI or SDK, but with PTB Builder, you can assemble transactions simply by dragging and dropping blocks.

By connecting your wallet, you can:

  • Use your own wallet address
  • Sign the transactions you create
  • Execute them on the actual blockchain
Flow of creating transactions with PTB Builder
  1. Connect your wallet (this lesson)
  2. Visually create a transaction
  3. Sign and execute

Two Ways to Use PTB Builder​

There are two ways to use PTB Builder:

  • External site (ptb.wal.app)

    • Both Editor and Viewer functionality
    • Supports Devnet / Testnet / Mainnet
    • Use when you need full functionality

  • On-site demo (PTB Builder Demo)

    • Editor functionality only
    • Devnet only
    • Used in future lessons after deploying Move modules

In this lesson, we'll learn wallet connection basics using the external site. In future lessons, we'll primarily use the on-site demo for convenience.

PTB Builder for Future Lessons​

In future lessons, you'll use this PTB Builder to build and execute transactions after deploying Move modules. You can try it right within the lesson flow without navigating to an external site.

On-site demo limitations

The on-site PTB Builder supports Editor functionality only and Devnet only. For viewing executed transactions (Viewer) or using other networks, please use ptb.wal.app.
