Hey Hivers,
Today I decided to join the new Hive Keychain Multichain Beta testing challenge hosted by the keychain team. The challenge is focused at getting Hivers to test the beta version of the app which supports multichain features. The most important thing about this challenge is for Hivers to be able to discover bugs or issues and drop feedback in the official keychain discord server. This feedback will help the team improve on the app development during the beta phase before the official release of the app. The challenge submission deadline is July 1st and the winners will be announced on the 3rd of July. 5 Winners will be rewarded with 20k Hive Power delegation for a month. Here are a few steps to follow to to start off with the challenge. First off, you need to install the Keychain Multichain Beta extension. Even though the main extension and the beta version can coexist, it is advised that participants disable the main version to avoid both extensions loading at the same time.
Install the Keychain Multichain Beta extension Here
Open your Keychain
Go to the Main Menu
Click on the Accounts button
After selecting that an encrypted backup with all your accounts will be downloaded.
After doing that, you can now go ahead and install the Keychain Multichain Beta extension.
Then select import accounts and choose the encrypted file which you have just exported to access your accounts.
One thing you must note is that your password on Keychain has to correspond with the one you use in the Keychain Multichain Beta Extension.
After importing your accounts, you can now go ahead with the testing
The functionalities on the Open Beta include
Creation and importation of EVM accounts
Connection of EVM dApps
Signing of transactions
Managing multiple chains from the same interface
Automatic Token Discovery: you do not need manual configuration for supported networks to detect your balances and tokens as that is done automatically
Multichain Swap: testing the swap service through Li.Fi is free during the beta testing phase as there are no fees attached to it
NFT Support: your NFTs will automatically show up and you can manage them via keychain
Transaction History: you can now access your transaction history across these networks via keychain

I’m exploring the Beta Version of the app and so far everything seems to be working well. I’ll be doing more testing and will drop feedback in the Keychain Discord server if I find any bug. IMO this new development is a good way of promoting and marketing hive ecosystem to the world. Kudos to the team behind this project.
