• Select “Set up as new device”.
• Choose a secure PIN code of 4–8 digits.
• Write down your 24-word recovery phrase carefully on the recovery sheet provided.

Your recovery phrase is the master key to your wallet. Store it offline in a secure place. Never share it online, take photos, or type it on your phone or computer.

Step 4: Verify and Secure Your Wallet

Once verified, your wallet is ready to be used. You can now install apps for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and over 5,500 other cryptocurrencies.
