# Extra connections (addnodes)

Addnodes are network addresses of nodes that can be added to a DECENOMY cryptocurrency wallet configuration file to enhance its connectivity with the network.

In case we have problems connecting our wallet to the blockchain we need addnodes (peers).

In this guide, we will explain in a few simple steps how to add peers to your wallet.

First of all, let's open our wallet (in our case Sapphire)

Now we go to the top right and we will see the configuration file icon (in our case sapphire.conf).

As seen in the following picture

Now click on the configuration file icon to open it.

In case Windows asks us which program we want to use to open it, it is advisable to choose Notepad.

Now we go to [<mark style="color:blue;">https://explorer.decenomy.net/</mark>](https://explorer.decenomy.net/) and search for the coin. (in this case Sapphire).

Then we click on the coin to access the "Overview" page.

As we can see on the next screen, we can choose "**Network**" from the left menu.

Now we choose from the list the option that corresponds to the version of our wallet (in this case 1.5.2.1)

**The version of our wallet can be found at the bottom left when the wallet is opened.**

<figure><img src="https://505947675-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MiHm486VotxVq44a_Jg%2Fuploads%2FzEyMEehZ4uP5uo021SUP%2Fnode%20list.PNG?alt=media&amp;token=f9f26db7-0224-4215-8069-e11064f2f7f1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Now we click on the "node list" button next to our preferred wallet version, this window will open and we copy the addnodes.

We go back to the Notepad to paste the addnodes.

Now we can save and close the configuration file as seen in the picture below:

Once this is done, we close and restart our wallet to apply the changes.\
Now our wallet is ready to be used!

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.decenomy.net/tutorials/decenomy-wallet/extra-connections-addnodes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
