Once your wallet is installed you can create and add accounts to handle a variety of IBC compatible networks.
If you create a new wallet you will be shown a new seed phrase. Please write this down and store it securely. On the next screen you will be prompted to enter some of the seed words to ensure it was recorded correctly.
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.
Please note: Your password cannot be recovered, however, your seed phrase can always be used to restore your wallet if your password is lost or forgotten.
And that's it! you're all set! Once your password has been set, your Cosmostation wallet is ready to use!
If you'd like further instructions or details on setting up your Cosmostation wallet please refer to the official technical docs from Cosmostation.
It can be convenient to pin it to your browser toolbar by clicking on the puzzle piece 🧩 icon and then the pin icon to pin it to your browser's extension bar.
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.
