Step 1: Create Your Wallet
Starting your crypto journey begins with setting up a safe and reliable wallet. Follow these steps to create your wallet with ease.
- Download the CryptoStart app from the official website or app store.
- Open the app and click "Create New Wallet".
- Set a strong password. Avoid common phrases and include numbers, letters, and special characters.
- Confirm your password to proceed to the next step.
- Choose your wallet type: Standard Wallet or Multi-Currency Wallet depending on your needs.
Step 2: Backup Your Wallet
Backing up your wallet is crucial. Without a backup, losing access to your device means losing access to your funds.

- Store the written phrase in a secure location, preferably a safe.
- Confirm the recovery phrase within the app to verify accuracy.
- Enable cloud backup optionally for additional safety (encrypted storage).
Step 3: Enhance Security
Security is key to protecting your crypto assets. Follow these best practices:
- Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) using an authenticator app.
- Regularly update your app to get the latest security patches.
- Do not share your password or recovery phrase with anyone.
- Use a hardware wallet for large holdings for maximum security.
- Monitor your wallet activity regularly for suspicious transactions.
