How 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 safety practices:

• 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.
