For now, the only supported self-custodial wallet on a.live is MetaMask
Metamask is a browser extension that serves as a crypto wallet for Ethereum and ETH compatible blockchains, allowing users to store Ether and other ERC-20 tokens which can be used for transacting with the decentralized internet (web3). Here's how you can create your own Metamask wallet:
- Go to metamask.io
- Click 'Download'
- Click 'Install Metamask for Chrome'. Once installed you will be able to click the puzzle piece icon in the top right of your browser (next to your profile picture).
- Click 'Get started', followed by 'Create a wallet'.
- Create a strong password according to Metamask's guidelines.
- After you create a password you will receive what's called a 'Secret Recovery Phrase.' This is a critical step as your 'Secret Recovery Phrase' is how you'll be able to restore your wallet if you ever lose access to your device. We recommend writing down the 12 words on a piece of paper and storing it in a secure location. Do not ever share your secret recovery phrase with anyone. Having multiple backups stored in secure locations is recommended.
- Confirm your secret recovery phrase by clicking the words in the correct order then click 'Confirm'
- Click 'All done'
Congrats! 🎉 You now have your own MetaMask wallet!
