Feeling curious? Here’s how you can create an account right now.
Download the Nova Wallet app from Google Play or the App Store..
Create a new wallet.
Name your wallet.
Copy your seed phrase in the correct order and keep it somewhere safe where no one can find it.
Important note: Never give out your private key or seed phrase to anyone or any website. If you do so, malicious actors will have complete access to your funds and you may never retrieve them again. It is highly recommended to write your seed phrase down and keep it in a safe and secure place. If you lose your seed phrase, Nova Wallet won't be able to help you get your wallet back, and your funds will be permanently gone.
Verify your seed phrase by tapping on the words in the correct order.
Create a six-digit PIN code for your wallet.
Now you’re ready to buy, transfer, and stake crypto.
On the Assets page, tap “Receive.”
Select a token.
For this example, we will be using DOT (Polkadot’s native token).
There are two ways you can receive crypto in your wallet. The first is to generate a QR code that can be scanned directly or shared with the sender.
The second option is to copy the wallet address. To do this, tap on the wallet address, then select "Copy address" and share it with the sender.
Once the sender has your Nova Wallet address, they can start sending you crypto.
