In this guide, we’ll show you how to create your own SubWallet account.
Download the app on the App Store or Google Play.
Create a new account.
Agree to the Terms of Use.
Create a secure password.
Note: This password only applies to the device you are currently using. If you access your wallet through another device, you will need to go through the password setup process again, and you may choose to use separate passwords for each device.
Tap on the checkboxes to confirm you understand how to protect your seed phrase.
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, SubWallet 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.
Re-enter the password to your wallet.
