Wallet setup

In the realm of DeFi (Decentralised Finance), you retain absolute ownership of your cryptocurrency. Your funds are housed in a wallet under your control and management. Prior to any actions, adhering to these safety practices is imperative:

  • Never share your recovery phrases with anyone.

  • Avoid entering your recovery phrase into any website or application, except for your wallet app, specifically when importing your wallet onto a new device.

  • Exercise caution regarding counterfeit websites, giveaways, or any other potentially malicious activities.

  • Download and install only the latest wallet version from official sources.

  • Safely back up your recovery phrases, preferably somewhere offline.

Metamask

MetaMask stands as a widely embraced browser-based wallet extension. It inherently supports Ethereum, and additional Ethereum-compatible blockchains, including BNB Chain, Avalanche, and Polygon, can be manually incorporated. MetaMask seamlessly integrates with hardware wallets such as Ledger and Trezor, ensuring versatile compatibility.

Trust Wallet

Trust Wallet, a well-liked mobile wallet, offers user-friendly features with preconfigured settings for various blockchain networks. Equipped with a built-in DApp Browser, Trust Wallet falls slightly short of the configurability provided by MetaMask.
