To get started on MetaTreasure, the first thing you’ll need is to set up a crypto wallet that supports BNB Smart Chain (BSC). Wallets are available both on desktop computers and on smartphone devices. You’ll need to choose the wallet that fits your needs best.
When you're setting up a wallet, be sure to:
√ Download and install only the latest version from an official source.
√ Follow the setup guide carefully.
√ Safely back up your recovery phrases.
X NEVER share your recovery phrases with anyone, under any circumstances.
X NEVER input your recovery phrase to a website or app, other than your wallet app.
Smartphone/Mobile or Desktop wallet?
Mobile device wallets and desktop-based wallets have different strengths and weaknesses. Consider which fits your needs better to help decide which type of wallet to use.
Smartphone/Mobile wallets allow you to access your crypto almost anywhere. Most wallets are available on both Android and iOS devices.
