GETTING STARTED
Six practical steps from setup to review
Each milestone has a dedicated guide. Follow the checks rather than rushing into the next screen.
Create or import
Know the difference between a new wallet and recovering an existing one; importing may expose sensitive recovery material.
Creating a wallet starts with understanding custody →Record the recovery phrase
Write every word in order and keep the phrase out of screenshots, shared notes, chats, and cloud sync.
Your first recovery phrase backup →Verify an offline backup
Check readability and word order, then store copies appropriately without creating an obvious single point of failure.
Restoring a wallet safely →Map assets to networks
Associate each asset with its chain and contract, particularly when token symbols appear on multiple networks.
Organizing assets across networks →Review before sending
Check the network, entire address, asset, amount, and fees; consider a small test transfer where appropriate.

USE CASES
Make the next action more deliberate
🔐
Creating a wallet starts with understanding custody
Prepare to create or import a wallet by understanding addresses, private keys, and recovery phrases before taking any irreversible action.
↗🔁Organizing assets across networks
Track assets by both token and network: identical symbols can represent different contracts, and balances belong to specific chains.
↗✅The pre-transfer verification checklist
Before confirming a transfer, review network, recipient address, asset, amount, and fees; many on-chain transfers cannot be reversed.
↗💾Moving to a new device without losing access
Before retiring your old device, verify backup readiness, avoid fraudulent recovery prompts, and check asset networks on the new device.
↗⚠️ RISK AWARENESS
Pause when something feels unfamiliar
Lookalike websites, exposed recovery phrases, incorrect networks, and copied addresses can all cause irreversible harm.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
In a self-custody model, control depends on who holds the keys. Check your actual software documentation and never hand a recovery phrase to support staff.
Balance queries and broadcasting transactions generally require connectivity. Offline backups do not, but physical damage remains a consideration.
Record it offline in a trusted setting and store it securely. Avoid photos, cloud drives, shared notes, and messaging apps.
A private key authorizes actions for an address; a recovery phrase commonly derives multiple keys. Treat both as highly sensitive.
YOUR NEXT STEP

Verify the source, save your recovery details offline, and double-check every transaction.
