Important Security Tips
- Never screenshot your seed phrase
- Never store your seed phrase on a connected device
- Enable biometric (Face ID / fingerprint) authentication
- Always verify your TRC20 address before receiving funds
Your seed phrase is your wallet. Anyone with your 12 words can access all your funds. Write it on paper, store it in a safe place, and never share it with anyone.
After setup, you will need a small amount of TRX in your wallet to pay for network bandwidth. You can buy TRX directly within most wallets using OTC services.
