For many new enthusiastics, getting started with crypto can feel like a lot, especially when it comes to setting up your first wallet. It’s easy to worry about making a mistake or not knowing exactly what to do.
The good news? Creating a secure crypto wallet is actually pretty straightforward and you’re about to see just how simple it can be!
Now that you understand what a crypto wallet is, the difference between hot and cold wallet and how to choose the right one for your needs, it’s time to take the next step.
This quick step-by-step guide will walk you through the setup process, and you’ll have your wallet created in no time!
How to Create a Crypto Wallet
Download and Install
First, download the Klever Wallet from your mobile’s app store: Apple App Store for iOS and Google Play for Android.
Launch and Setup
Install the app, open it and accept the notifications and location access for the best experience. You’ll see two options: “Create Wallet” and “Restore Wallet.”
Since you’re setting up a new one, tap “Create Wallet.”
The “Restore Wallet” option is for accessing an existing wallet on a new device. In this case, you’ll need your seed phrase, which we’ll explain in detail below.
Secure Your Wallet
During setup, you’ll create a 6-digit PIN to secure your wallet. You’ll be asked to enter it twice to confirm. Choose a PIN that´s easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess.
*Be Klever: Avoid simple combinations like 123456 or your birthdate. Instead, use numbers that are meaningful to you but not obvious to others.
After setting your PIN, you can enable biometric authentication, like fingerprint or facial recognition, for faster, safer access to your wallet. It adds an extra layer of protection while keeping things quick and convenient.
Access Your Wallet
After creating your wallet, you’ll be prompted to select the tokens you want to display on your portfolio screen. Simply toggle on the cryptocurrencies you want to track. You can update this list anytime, and here’s the best part:
You can create multiple wallets for each token. Whether you want one wallet or five for a specific cryptocurrency, it’s totally up to you.
However, this step is not required when creating the wallet; you can do it later.
*To view your wallet address, tap the “Receive” button, choose the crypto you want, and your unique wallet address along with a QR code will appear for easy sharing.
Note: To fully activate your wallet, including sending crypto, receiving funds, and using DeFi tools, you need to validate your seed phrase
Validating Your Seed Phrases
This is an essential step to fully activate your wallet. Without validating your seed phrase, you won’t be able to send crypto, receive funds, or use DeFi features.
When you created your wallet, the app generated 24 security words — also called your seed phrase, recovery phrase, or mnemonic phrase.
These words are the master key to your wallet and the only way to recover your funds if you lose access to your device.
On your portfolio screen, tap “ You need to validate your seed” message, put in your 6 pin or Biometric, then tap “I Agree” and “Reveal secret”.
Make sure to write them down in the exact order shown and store them in a safe place, preferably offline. You’ll need them to recover your wallet if needed.
To complete validation, you’ll need to confirm the 24 words in the correct order. This step secures your wallet and unlocks all features.
Important: Write down your seed phrase and store it safely offline. Never share it — anyone who has these 24 words can access your wallet and your crypto.
How Can You Access Your Seed Phrase Anytime?
You can view your seed phrase at any time. Just follow these steps:
To access your seed phrases anytime, just go on Hub Screen, scroll to “Backup Wallet”, enable the security alert, select any crypto and tap “seed”.
- Go to the Hub screen in your wallet.
- Scroll down to “Backup Wallet.”
- Read and accept the Security Alert.
- Select any cryptocurrency from your list.
- Tap the “Seed” tab and tap “Reveal secret” to view your 24 security words.
*Reminder: Never share your seed phrase or private key with anyone, not even the Klever team.
This information gives direct access to your wallet, and we will never ask for it.
