Non-Custodial Wallet Safety
Non-custodial wallets offer full control over your crypto but require diligent security practices to ensure your funds stay safe.
It is of paramount importance to safeguard your seed phrase, use strong passwords, avoid online storage of seed phrases or private keys, and to consider utilizing a hardware wallet for large holdings.

After, you can select what networks you want to use with Cosmostation. A few will be selected by default, however, any additional networks you plan to use can either be found via the search bar or by scrolling through the list.

After you have selected the networks you would like to use, you will be prompted to create a password to protect your wallet.

And that's it! you're all set! Once your password has been set, your Cosmostation wallet is ready to use!
