To get in the Defi world with so many awesome applications, the first thing you need is your own Ethereum wallet.


A cryptocurrency wallet, comparable to a bank account, contains a pair of public and private cryptographic keys. A public key allows for other wallets to make payments to the wallet's address, whereas a private key enables the spending of cryptocurrency from that address.


It is worth noting that you should ALWAYS back up your private key and NEVER share it with anyone!! 


There are many choices to create a wallet. You can refer to some kinds of wallet below: 


  • Torus wallet

  • Metamask

  • MyEtherWallet

  • Ledger

  • Trezor


In this post, Kyber will introduce you to create a Metamask wallet which is safe, popular, and especially easy to access Kyberswap.


MetaMask


Metamask is a cryptocurrency wallet which can be used on Chrome, Firefox, and Brave browsers. It’s also a browser extension. This means that it works like a bridge between normal browsers and the Ethereum blockchain.


Step 1: Install MetaMask in your browser (https://metamask.io/). We recommend you use Google Chrome for the best experience.



Step 2:  Create a password …


Step 3: Save your seed words and keep them somewhere safe. These 12 words are the only way to restore your MetaMask account.


That’s it! Now you can buy some ETH with fiat and swap your favorite token on KyberSwap.
