In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the process of creating your very first BitMask wallet. You’ll discover how to set up your wallet and secure your seed phrase.

Now head to bitmask.app and choose whether you want to set up the Google Chrome wallet extension or opt for a web wallet. We recommend getting the wallet extension for a smoother connection with the DIBA marketplace.

Step 4: Write down your seed phrase and ensure that you don’t share it with anyone. Your secret seed phrase is the key to accessing your BitMask Wallet. Be sure to keep it in a secure place as the loss of your seed phrase equates to a loss of access to your wallet and your funds.

You can either write it down now for safekeeping with pen and paper or retrieve it later within the wallet using your password.

Writing down your seed phrase in a safe place is extremely important
