How To Create A Wallet

Step 1: Start the Wallet Creation Process

  1. Open the Namada Keychain extension.
  2. Click on the "Create new keys" button to start the process of creating your wallet

Step 2: Seed Phrase Precautions

  1. A new screen will appear with two important reminders:
    • Back up your seed phrase: Your seed phrase is your only way to recover your wallet.
    • Do not share your seed phrase with anyone: Keep it secure and private at all times.
  2. Once you’ve read the recommendations, click on "I understood, show my phrase" to proceed.

Step 3: Choose and Save Your Seed Phrase

  1. Select your seed phrase length: The Namada extension lets you choose between a 12-word or a 24-word seed phrase. Click on your preferred option.
  2. Reveal your seed phrase: Hover your mouse over the blurred area to display the words.
  3. Securely back up your seed phrase: Write down the words on paper or save them in a secure location. This is critical for recovering your wallet if needed.
  4. Proceed to the next step: After ensuring your seed phrase is securely saved, click "Next" to continue.

Step 4: Verify Your Seed Phrase and Configure Your Wallet

  1. Verify your seed phrase: You’ll be asked to enter 2 specific words from your seed phrase to confirm that you’ve saved it correctly. Enter these words in the appropriate fields.
  2. Name your wallet: Provide a name for your wallet to easily identify it later.
  3. Set a password: Create a secure password for your wallet, and confirm it in the provided field.
  4. Finalize the setup: Click "Next" to complete the wallet creation process.
