Setting up your wallet
Circuit Protocol is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol. This means that you are in control of your crypto. It also means that you are responsible for whatever happens to it. Please follow these best practices:
Never share your private keys.
Never share your recovery phrases with anyone. Ever.
Never input your recovery phrase or private key into a website or app, other than your wallet app when you are importing your wallet on a new device.
Be wary of fake websites, giveaways, or other malicious acts. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
Download and install only the latest wallet version from official sources.
Follow the setup guides of your wallet of preference carefully.
Safely back up your recovery phrases, preferably somewhere offline.
There are a number of wallets out there. You should research and make the decision for yourself as to which one is best. The most comonly used wallet is MetaMask.
MetaMask is a browser-based wallet plugin. It supports Ethereum by default, and every other Ethereum compatible blockchain (EVM). For example, Avalanche, Fantom and Mantle. These networks are manually added. MetaMask is also compatible with hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor.
