How to Use a Crypto Wallet (Quick Guide)
1. Choose a Wallet
You can use any trusted non-custodial wallet. Two simple options:
Option 1: Brave Browser Wallet (Built-in)
- Install the Brave Browser.
- Go to the official website: https://brave.com/
- Open Brave → Click the Wallet icon in the toolbar.

⚠️ Always download wallets only from official websites.
2. Create Your Wallet
When you create a wallet:
- Set a strong password.
- You will receive a Seed Phrase (12–24 words).
This seed phrase is the master key to your wallet.
3. Keep Your Seed Phrase Safe (Very Important)
- Write it down on paper.
- Store it in a safe place.
- Never share it with anyone.
- Never store it in email, screenshots, or cloud notes.
👉 Anyone with your seed phrase can steal all your funds.
4. Basic Usage
With your wallet you can:
- Receive crypto → Copy your wallet address.
- Send crypto → Enter recipient address and confirm.
- Connect to apps → Click “Connect Wallet” on websites.
Always double-check:
- Website URL
- Transaction details before confirming
5. Security Best Practices
For better safety:
- Use one wallet per app/project.
- This limits risk if one site is malicious.
- Avoid clicking random crypto links.
- Never approve suspicious transactions.
- Disconnect wallet from unknown sites.
This protects you from:
- Phishing websites
- Fake dApps
- Permission abuse
6. Important Safety Rule
❌ No legitimate app will EVER ask for your seed phrase. If someone asks → it is a scam.
