How to create a KILT wallet on Polkadot-js apps? | KILT
In this tutorial, we will create a KILT Protocol wallet on the Polkadot Portal, where you can also create and manage your accounts, store your funds, stake and explore many other possibilities.
Guidelines to create a KILT Protocol wallet
- Go to the Polkadot wallet web page and click on the top left corner of the home page, where a side menu will be displayed.
- Select KUSAMA & PARACHAINS from the side menu. Choose KILT Spiritnet and then select via KILT Protocol. Scroll up and click the Switch button that will be enabled at the top of the page; you will be automatically redirected to the KILT Spiritnet panel. Be patient, it may take a few seconds to connect!
- Once inside the KILT Spiritnet panel, click on Accounts, and again on Accounts in the drop-down menu.
- Click on Add Account to create a new account.
- Next, you will see a new window, where you will see the public address of your new account and the seed (copy it and save it in a safe place in the same order it is displayed, you will need it to recover or import your account, as well as to retrieve your funds). After saving the seed, check the confirmation box and click on Next.
- Name it so that you can identify your account and set a strong password. Then click on Next.
- Finally, click on Save. Congratulations! Now you have your own KILT wallet!
Once the account is created, the system will automatically generate a .json file that will be downloaded to your device. You will be able to recover, restore or import the account to other devices with this file, so keep it safe.
How to keep your wallet safe?
Keep both the seed and the .json file in a safe place. With the seed you will be able to generate the .json file, but with the .json file you will not be able to generate the seed.
Keep your password safe, it will be used to sign all the operations you do on the network.
Never share your password, your seed, or your .json file.
No CEO, Dev, admin, or ambassador of any project will ever write to you first, ask for your private keys or ask you for funds.
