Install a Wallet and Verify Its Source
Check download sources, permissions, package details and device readiness before wallet setup. Explore practical checkpoints, common mistakes and related guides to make more informed wallet decisions before moving assets.
Choose a trustworthy source
Start by defining the action and checking the device you are using. Check download sources, permissions, package details and device readiness before wallet setup. Never enter a private key or recovery phrase into an unfamiliar site.
Checks during installation
Work in a deliberate sequence: verify the source, check credentials and the network, take only the required action, then review the outcome. Inspect all signing details.
Before proceeding
- Is this the source or device you intended to use?
- Are the network and address details correct?
- Are sensitive credentials kept offline and private?
After installation
Afterwards, keep only non-sensitive notes and confirm your recovery plan still works. Stop if you cannot verify the source or the transaction details.
