Install and Open the Wallet
Check the source, device permissions, and first-launch prompts before setting up a wallet.

Review each step in order
Step 1
Double-check the website and installer source, especially lookalike domains in ads.
Step 2
Review device compatibility and permissions; decline unrelated access requests.
Step 3
On launch, distinguish creating from importing and plan recovery before proceeding.
Why it matters
Check the source, device permissions, and first-launch prompts before setting up a wallet. Blockchain transactions may be irreversible. Leave enough time to inspect credentials and transaction details.
Watch out for
Websites asking for recovery words, lookalike domains, and unexplained signing prompts should all trigger a pause and review.
