How to Create a Wallet
Understand creation versus import, safeguard credentials and verify the setup before holding assets. Explore practical checkpoints, common mistakes and related guides to make more informed wallet decisions before moving assets.
Before you begin
Start by defining the action and checking the device you are using. Understand creation versus import, safeguard credentials and verify the setup before holding assets. Never enter a private key or recovery phrase into an unfamiliar site.
Create or import safely
Work in a deliberate sequence: verify the source, check credentials and the network, take only the required action, then review the outcome. Inspect all signing details.
Before proceeding
- Is this the source or device you intended to use?
- Are the network and address details correct?
- Are sensitive credentials kept offline and private?
Verify your setup
Afterwards, keep only non-sensitive notes and confirm your recovery plan still works. Stop if you cannot verify the source or the transaction details.
