Get started
Meet the side panel, protect your account, and start a conversation with friends.
Palside is a desktop Chrome side-panel extension for watching tokens with friends. Keep a squad conversation beside the page, share what you are looking at when you choose, and bring a passage or screenshot into the discussion.
Availability
Palside is preparing for release and is not yet listed in the Chrome Web Store. There is no store installation available yet. The walkthrough below explains the product; developers can build a local preview using the repository README. A preview is not the published extension or proof that live payment services are open.
The extension targets desktop Chrome 123 or later. Once a build is loaded, click the Palside toolbar icon to open its side panel. Optional permissions are requested when you use the relevant feature; see Security and permissions.
Find your way around
| Area | What you can do |
|---|---|
| Viewing at the top | See tokens or websites squad members choose to share; open a source |
| Squad chat | Discuss everything in one encrypted timeline per squad |
| Current-page strip | Open the current token, see same-page squad members, or enter public danmaku |
| Composer | Send messages and control share viewing and web interactions separately |
Squad chat is end-to-end encrypted; danmaku is public and not encrypted. Opening danmaku does not join a squad. Palside does not trade for you or provide copy trading, profit rankings or token safety scores. Viewing a token does not mean holding, buying or recommending it.
Create your account
No email or verification code is needed. Your device generates a 12-word recovery phrase.
Save the phrase offline. It controls both your Palside identity and its PALS wallet. Do not reuse a phrase from another wallet.
Verify two words, then set a 6-digit local password for this browser. The password encrypts your phrase locally and is not uploaded.
Create the account and choose a nickname. Wait for sign-in and encrypted chat setup to finish. If setup fails, retry on the same screen.
Keep the phrase somewhere you can recover even if this computer is lost. Nobody at Palside can recover a lost phrase. A local password protects local use; it cannot protect you from someone who fully controls your device.
Registration is limited to 20 attempts per IP per hour and 100 per day. Its proof-of-work difficulty is normally 19 bits. More than 300 registrations across the service in a rolling hour automatically adds 2 bits, reverting when the count falls. Operators can also increase difficulty or pause registration. After 60 seconds, the preparation message lets you keep waiting or cancel. If registration is paused, try later; existing accounts can still sign in.
Reserved words apply only to nicknames, squad names and tags. Bios, danmaku, blessings and token names are exempt from reserved words, while sensitive-word checks still apply to public text.
Send your first message
Create a squad with a name, or open a friend's invitation and confirm Join. Type in the squad composer and send; the message is marked sent after the service confirms receipt, not after everyone has read it.
Joining does not turn on sharing. You can chat without sharing any viewing status. When ready, enable Share viewing in the composer and approve Chrome's permission request. Only your current squad receives it.
See Squads and chat for invitations, images and message recovery, or Share viewing for its controls.
Return to an existing account
Choose Sign in with recovery phrase, enter the 12 words, and set a password for this browser. You return to your squads, but a new device only sees squad messages received after sign-in. The phrase does not restore old message keys.
Forgot the local password? First make sure you have the phrase, then sign out and sign in with it. Signing out clears this device's message keys and drafts; signing back in does not restore them. Closing the browser keeps you signed in and is different from signing out.
An account supports up to 10 devices. At the limit, remove one in account security first; older devices are not signed out automatically. A deleted account cannot keep signing in. The same phrase can register again, without restoring old profiles, squads or message keys; active bans tied to its public key still apply.
