Welcome! This guide will walk you through the essential steps to set up and start using your digital asset wallet. Security and control over your funds are paramount. Please read all sections carefully before proceeding.
Start by navigating to your browser's extension store (Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, etc.) and search for the official wallet extension. **Always ensure you are downloading the genuine product** to prevent security risks. Click the 'Add to Browser' button.
Upon installation, you will be prompted to either **Create a New Wallet** or **Import an Existing Wallet**. If you are a new user, choose 'Create a New Wallet'. You will need to choose a strong password. **DO NOT forget this password.**
This is the **most important step**. The recovery phrase is a list of 12 or 24 words that acts as the master key to your wallet. If you lose your password or access to your computer, this phrase is the **only way** to restore your funds.
Action: Write the phrase down **physically** on paper and store it in multiple secure, offline locations (e.g., a safe, a safe deposit box).
***NEVER SHARE YOUR RECOVERY PHRASE WITH ANYONE.*** No legitimate support, application, or person will ever ask for it. Anyone who asks is trying to steal your funds. Do not store it digitally (e.g., in an email, a screenshot, or the cloud).
To receive crypto, you need your unique public wallet address. Click on the extension and locate the long string of letters and numbers (often starts with '0x' for Ethereum-based chains). **Copy this entire address carefully.** This is what you share with others to receive funds.
To send crypto, click 'Send'. Enter the recipient's wallet address, the amount, and review the network fees (Gas). **Double-check the recipient's address** before confirming. A transaction sent to the wrong address is usually irreversible.
