Jump into DeFi or NFT world require compatible wallets. Yes, wallets that can connects to web3 DApps.
Most of these wallets have similarities in configuration, therefore I will simply illustrate using MetaMask:
1️⃣Download MetaMask wallet
Browse MetaMask.io, download it and add as an extension on your favorable browser. You can pin the extension on your browse for easy access.
2️⃣Creat a Wallet
A new tab will auto pop up asking to import wallet or creat a new one. You may hit import wallet if you have one, otherwise select Creat a Wallet.
3️⃣Create Password
Create a password, the strong the password the safer the account. Check on terms of users and hit create.
4️⃣Secret Recovery Phrase
These are 12 random words used for account restoring and back up. Don’t ever share with nobody. Write them on piece of papers (multiple copies) and keep them on safe place (different places) where nobody can reach. Don’t take picture or screenshot.
5️⃣Confirm your Recovery Phrase
Select/write them in the same chronological order as they were written previously and then hit confirm.
Congratulations all is setπŸ˜€!
6️⃣Add Networks (Chains) on your Wallet
By default your wallet will come with Ethereum network but you may need some other network in your wallet like Binance smart chain, Fantom opera, Avalanche, Moonriver etc
Two ways to add networks:
First way: Go to network, add network then write down all the required info, find them on CoinGecko
Second way: browse chainlist.org, connect your wallet then go to search bar and search any network you wanna add and add to your wallet.
