Set up your wallet in a few simple steps

To use Monetrix, you need a cryptocurrency wallet to send and receive funds.
Setting up a wallet is quick and can be done in just a few minutes.

What is a crypto wallet?

A crypto wallet allows you to:

  • Receive cryptocurrency

  • Send cryptocurrency

  • Safely store access to your funds

You remain the owner and controller of your assets.

🧭 Step 1 — Choose a wallet

You can use trusted wallets such as:

  • MetaMask (popular for Ethereum and tokens)

  • Trust Wallet (multi-asset wallet)

You can also use accounts on platforms like:

  • Binance

  • Kraken

👉 Make sure the wallet or account is in your name and under your control.

📲 Step 2 — Download and install

  • Go to the official App Store or Google Play

  • Search for the wallet name

  • Download the official application

⚠️ Always verify the app to avoid fake versions.

🆕 Step 3 — Create a new wallet

  • Open the app

  • Select “Create new wallet”

  • Follow the setup instructions

🔑 Step 4 — Save your recovery phrase

You will receive a 12 or 24-word recovery phrase.

Important:

  • Write it down and store it safely

  • Never share it with anyone

  • Do not store it online or in screenshots

👉 This phrase gives full access to your funds.

📥 Step 5 — Get your wallet address

Once your wallet is created:

  • Select the cryptocurrency (e.g. USDC, BTC, ETH)

  • Copy your wallet address

👉 This is the address you will use on Monetrix to receive crypto.

⚠️ Important tips

  • Always double-check your wallet address before sending funds

  • Use the correct network (e.g. Ethereum, Bitcoin)

  • Only use wallets you control

📌 Summary

Creating a wallet allows you to:
