Creating Your First Nano Wallet

Let's create your first Nano wallet. This is where you'll store and manage your Nano:

  1. Visit Nault.cc (opens in new tab)
  2. Click "Create New Wallet"
  3. You'll be shown your "seed" - this is like the master password to your wallet:
    • Write it down on paper (don't store it digitally)
    • Keep it somewhere safe, like a secure drawer or safe
    • Never share it with anyone
    • If you lose it, you can't recover your funds
  4. After saving your seed, click "I've Stored My Seed Safely"
  5. Your wallet is now ready to receive Nano!

⚠️ Important Security Tips:

  • Your seed gives complete access to your funds
  • Don't take screenshots of your seed
  • Don't store it in cloud storage or email
  • Consider making multiple paper copies stored in different safe locations
