Step 2

Securing Your Wallet

Save Your Seed Phrase

The seed phrase is the most important security feature of your wallet. It’s a backup key that can be used to recover your wallet if it’s lost or compromised. Write it down and store it securely in a place that only you can access. Never share it with anyone, and avoid storing it digitally.

Set a Strong Password

Create a strong and unique password to protect your wallet. A good password should combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. This helps ensure that your wallet is safe from unauthorized access.

Backup Your Wallet

Having a backup of your wallet is crucial in case of device failure. Many wallets offer backup options that allow you to restore your wallet on a new device if needed. This step will ensure that you don't lose access to your Tezos (XTZ) in the event of an emergency.

Attention

Be cautious when sharing any information related to your wallet. Phishing attempts are common, and scammers may try to trick you into revealing your seed phrase or private keys. Stay alert and only interact with trusted sources.

Step 3

Transfer Tezos (XTZ) to Your Wallet

Once you've purchased Tezos (XTZ) on an exchange, you can easily transfer it to your wallet by following the provided deposit instructions. After the transfer is complete, your tokens are ready to be used for staking, paying transaction fees, or exploring the diverse Tezos ecosystem.

Step 4

Explore dApps on Tezos

With Tezos (XTZ) in your wallet, you can begin using decentralized applications (dApps) on the Tezos blockchain. Interact with various services, stake your Tezos, and explore the many use cases of the Tezos network, from DeFi to NFTs and beyond.
