02
Create or Import
Choose the available wallet setup option that matches your needs. Existing wallets may be imported using their recovery credentials.

04
Explore Web3
Connect to compatible applications, review requests carefully, and confirm transactions only when the details are understood.
Security starts with you
Self-custody provides greater control, but that control also means the user is responsible for protecting wallet credentials.
- Keep your recovery phrase private and offline.
- Use only trusted wallet and application websites.
- Review addresses and transaction details carefully.
- Avoid unexpected links requesting wallet credentials.
- Keep your browser and extension updated.
Explore with awareness
Web3 applications can request wallet permissions and transaction approvals. Take a moment to understand what an application is requesting before connecting or signing.
- Check the website domain before connecting.
- Review wallet prompts before approving.
- Do not share private keys or recovery phrases.
- Disconnect applications you no longer use.
- Use official support resources for account help.
