ℹ️How to set up a wallet

In DeFi (Decentralized Finance), you are the true owner of your crypto. Your funds sit in a wallet that is controlled and managed by you. Before doing anything, it is important that you always follow these rules:

  • Never share your recovery phrases with anyone, under any circumstances.

  • Never input your recovery phrase to a website or app, other than your wallet app when you are importing your wallet on a new device.

  • Be wary of fake websites, giveaways, or other malicious acts.

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

  • Follow the setup guides of your wallet of preference carefully.

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

MetaMask is a very popular browser-based wallet plugin. It supports Ethereum by default, and every other Ethereum-compatible blockchain, including Polygon, which can be added manually. MetaMask is also compatible with hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor.
