00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.776
Start with a wallet you control.

2
00:00:02.976 --> 00:00:08.338
This lesson uses MetaMask as an example, not an endorsement or a requirement

3
00:00:08.338 --> 00:00:10.101
to create another wallet.

4
00:00:10.301 --> 00:00:15.826
Open MetaMask's official website and follow its download link to the correct

5
00:00:15.826 --> 00:00:18.152
browser extension or mobile app.

6
00:00:18.352 --> 00:00:20.635
Check the publisher before installing.

7
00:00:20.835 --> 00:00:24.291
Avoid sponsored lookalikes and links sent by strangers.

8
00:00:25.141 --> 00:00:29.109
Open the official wallet app and choose Create a new wallet.

9
00:00:29.309 --> 00:00:34.571
Current MetaMask onboarding offers different recovery methods, including a

10
00:00:34.571 --> 00:00:38.269
Secret Recovery Phrase and supported social sign in.

11
00:00:38.469 --> 00:00:42.799
Read the method you select rather than assuming they work the same way.

12
00:00:42.999 --> 00:00:45.623
An existing wallet can stay in its own app.

13
00:00:45.823 --> 00:00:50.197
Cival does not need you to paste its recovery phrase into a website.

14
00:00:51.047 --> 00:00:55.900
Pause this video and stop screen sharing before entering a password or

15
00:00:55.900 --> 00:00:57.703
viewing recovery material.

16
00:00:57.903 --> 00:01:00.420
Complete those steps privately in the wallet.

17
00:01:00.620 --> 00:01:05.627
If you choose a recovery phrase, follow the wallet's backup and confirmation

18
00:01:05.627 --> 00:01:08.855
instructions and keep the words securely offline.

19
00:01:09.055 --> 00:01:11.956
Do not photograph them for a support request.

20
00:01:12.156 --> 00:01:17.235
Never send recovery words, private keys, or your password to Cival, to an

21
00:01:17.235 --> 00:01:19.879
agent, or to someone claiming to help.

22
00:01:20.729 --> 00:01:24.931
After onboarding, find the account's public address in your wallet.

23
00:01:25.131 --> 00:01:29.313
That address identifies the account you will connect and verify.

24
00:01:29.513 --> 00:01:33.547
It is different from your recovery phrase and from the separate agent

25
00:01:33.547 --> 00:01:34.249
trading key.

26
00:01:34.449 --> 00:01:39.168
Copy addresses from the wallet itself and compare the complete destination

27
00:01:39.168 --> 00:01:40.315
before using them.

28
00:01:40.515 --> 00:01:45.211
A matching first and last character alone is not a sufficient transfer

29
00:01:45.211 --> 00:01:45.614
check.

30
00:01:46.464 --> 00:01:51.174
You are ready when the official wallet opens, you understand its recovery

31
00:01:51.174 --> 00:01:54.400
method, and you can identify the intended account.

32
00:01:54.600 --> 00:01:57.267
Keep the wallet locked when you are not using it.

33
00:01:57.467 --> 00:02:01.712
On a computer, use the browser where its extension is installed.

34
00:02:01.912 --> 00:02:06.221
On mobile, use the supported wallet's in app browser when required.

35
00:02:06.421 --> 00:02:10.027
Next, connect this account to Cival and verify ownership.

36
00:02:10.227 --> 00:02:14.323
Creating a wallet alone does not fund it or authorize trading.
