1. What Does It Mean to Create a Wallet?

Creating a wallet doesn’t create cryptocurrency.

Instead, it creates a secure digital account that allows you to:

  • Store your ZANO
  • Send and receive payments
  • View your transaction history
  • Access features of the Zano ecosystem

Think of your wallet like a digital safe.

Only you should have access to it.

2. Before You Begin

Before creating your wallet, make sure you have:

  • Downloaded the official Zano Wallet.
  • Installed the wallet on your device.
  • A few minutes to complete the setup.
  • A safe place to store your recovery information.

3. Creating Your First Wallet

Once you’ve opened the Zano Wallet:

  1. Select Create New Wallet.
  2. Enter a name for your wallet (optional, but helpful if you plan to create more than one wallet).
  3. Create a strong password.
  4. Confirm your password.
  5. Continue with the setup.

The wallet will then generate your new wallet.

This process only takes a few seconds.

4. Choosing a Strong Password

Your password helps protect your wallet if someone gains access to your computer or phone.

A good password should:

  • Be at least 12 characters long.
  • Include uppercase and lowercase letters.
  • Include numbers.
  • Include special characters.
  • Be unique and not used for any other account.

Avoid using:

  • Your name
  • Your birthday
  • Simple passwords like 123456 or password

A password manager can help you generate and securely store strong passwords.

5. Back Up Your Wallet

This is the most important step.

During the setup process, the wallet will provide recovery information that allows you to restore access to your wallet if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged.

Make sure you:

  • Write down your recovery seed or backup information.
  • Store it somewhere safe.
  • Keep more than one secure copy if possible.
  • Never share it with anyone.

If someone gains access to your recovery information, they can access your wallet.

6. Understanding Your Wallet Address

After your wallet has been created, you’ll see your wallet address.

This address is similar to an email address.

You can safely share it with others when you want to receive ZANO.

For example:

  • You can share your wallet address with a friend who wants to send you ZANO.
  • You can use it when withdrawing ZANO from an exchange.

Your wallet address is public.

Your password and recovery information are private and should never be shared.

7. Your Wallet Is Ready

Congratulations!

You now have your first Zano wallet.

From here, you can:

  • Receive your first ZANO.
  • Send ZANO to another wallet.
  • View your transaction history.
  • Explore other features of the Zano ecosystem.

Take a few moments to become familiar with the wallet interface before making your first transaction.
