What is crypto wallet?

A crypto wallet is a digital tool on blockchain networks (like Ethereum) that stores your cryptocurrency, private keys, and other digital assets, including NFTs. Acting as your gateway to the Web3 world, a crypto wallet allows you to perform on-chain transactions, sign messages, add funds, and buy or sell NFTs. It serves as your interface to interact with decentralized platforms like Aconomy. One popular example of a crypto wallet is MetaMask.


Setting Up a MetaMask Crypto Wallet

In this guide, we’ll demonstrate how to set up a crypto wallet using MetaMask.


  1. Download MetaMask:

  • Visit the official MetaMask website.

  • Download the appropriate browser extension for your browser.


  1. Initiate Setup:

  • Click on the MetaMask browser extension icon.

  • Choose to create a new wallet and follow the on-screen instructions.


  1. Safeguard Your Seed Phrase:

  • Upon wallet creation, you'll receive a seed phrase.

  • This phrase is essential for accessing your wallet and its contents. Safeguard it carefully, as it serves as the only key to your digital assets. Never share your seed phrase with anyone, as whoever holds it can control your wallet entirely.


  1. Linking Your Wallet to Aconomy:

  • Go to the Aconomy website.

  • Select the "Connect Wallet" option.

  • A prompt will appear on your MetaMask extension requesting permission to connect with Aconomy. Grant the necessary permissions.

  • Finally, use MetaMask to sign in and seamlessly log in to Aconomy.


This ensures that your wallet is set up securely and ready for use on decentralized platforms like Aconomy.
