Step 1: Download MetaMask Wallet

Crypto Wallet & NFT - Instruction & FAQ

The first thing you will need in this process is a crypto wallet. There are many wallets out there, but we recommend the MetaMask crypto wallet. This wallet is the most widely used, accepted, and verified as secure.

MetaMask is available to iOS and Android users, and as an extension on Chrome Browsers. You can download and install MetaMask here: https://metamask.io/download/

Some things to keep in mind when setting up a MetaMask Wallet

  1. Choose a strong password with a minimum of 12 characters including numbers, uppercase and lowercase letters, and characters (!, @, #, $, etc.). Store the password on a piece of paper, NOT on any device connected to the internet.
  2. Write down your seed phrase on a piece of paper exactly as it appears during account setup. Do NOT store your keyphrase on a device connected to the internet.
  3. If you lose your password, the seed phrase is the ONLY way to recover your wallet funds and assets. Keep it in a safe place.

Step 2: Setup Account with a Crypto Exchange
