The Anchor WebApp is the official web frontend for interacting with Anchor Protocol on the Terra network. The WebApp can be accessed at https://app.anchorprotocol.com.
The Anchor WebApp offers a graphical user interface for accessing Anchor's core user operations, such as depositing & redeeming Terra stablecoins, minting bAsset tokens, borrowing Terra stablecoins with bAssets as collateral, and participating in Anchor governance.
The Anchor web app requires Google Chrome and Station Extension to be installed. Please follow the instructions below to set up your browser to be able to access the WebApp.
As of March 17th, 2021, Station Extension is only available for Chromium-based web browsers.
Station Extension is a Chrome extension that lets users interact with smart contract web frontends with an embedded in-browser wallet. When a user makes an interaction on Anchor WebApp, the WebApp will generate a transaction in the proper format that encodes the user's desired operation.
