Step 1 - Set up a wallet

Install an EVM wallet​

Botanix is fully EVM compatible. Because of that, it works with all EVM wallets right out of the box, such as OKX, Rabby or MetaMask.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Web3 Wallet

Choosing the right Web3 wallet is key to safely managing your crypto, NFTs, and interacting with decentralized apps (dApps). Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Security — Look for wallets with strong security features like private key control, seed phrases, and hardware support. Remember: not your keys, not your coins.

Compatibility — Make sure the wallet supports the blockchains and tokens you use.

Ease of Use — Some wallets are beginner-friendly, while others offer advanced features for experienced users.

Backup & Recovery — Check how you can back up your wallet and recover access if you lose your device. Never share your seed phrase!

dApp Integration — If you want to explore DeFi, NFTs, or DAOs, pick a wallet with good browser or app integration.

Open Source & Reputation — Prefer wallets with open-source code and a solid reputation in the community.
