How to Set Up Your Xverse Wallet

New to Xverse? Here's an easy guide to setup your wallet, connect your Ledger device for extra safekeeping, and connect to Bitcoin app. Have fun navigating the Bitcoin ecosystem, trading your favorite digital collectibles and earning Stackign rewards in Xverse Pool.

Step 1: Download Xverse 

To start, download Xverse, available for Android, iOS, and Chrome extension. If you are a brand new user, you can select “Create New Wallet.”  If you have an existing Stacks or Bitcoin wallet, you can simply click on "Restore Wallet" and enter your seed phrase to restore your wallets.

Step 2: Back up your wallet 

Xverse is a self-custodial wallet, meaning you have 100% control over your assets. It's crucial to securely backup your 12-word secret recovery phrase. You will need the phrase to restore your wallet if you switch devices or lose access to your current one. Writing down the phrase offline (ideally engraved on metal) and testing it for accuracy is highly recommended to prevent theft, and storing it in a secure location such as a safety deposit box (or two!) is advisable.

Step 3: Choose your preferred security mode

You can opt to allow Biometric/PIN authentication for easier access. Alternatively you can opt for each transaction requiring your password for higher security.
