FAQ
Start by downloading from the verified website, create a new wallet, write down the seed offline, and run a small test transaction.
Your seed is stored locally, encrypted on your device. Export only to secure offline storage; never upload to cloud or take screenshots.
Depends on the mistake. If you have the seed phrase, you can recover funds. If funds were sent to an incorrect address, transactions are usually irreversible.
Fees depend on network congestion, chosen speed, and token/blockchain-specific parameters.
For large balances or long-term storage, a hardware wallet is strongly recommended.
Try restarting everything, check for OS updates, reinstall, and contact official support if issues persist (never share seed).
Next steps
- Back up seed and verify recovery on a spare device (offline).
- Review staking and swaps guides to optimize costs and rewards.
- Set reminders to rotate passwords and review approvals.
