How to Create a Monero Wallet Safely
Creating a Monero wallet is simple, but storing recovery data correctly is the critical part.
Step 1: Open your Monero wallet page
Use only the exact domain you trust. Bookmark it and avoid search-ad links for wallet access.
Step 2: Generate a new wallet
Choose create wallet and wait for the seed phrase. This seed is the master recovery secret.
Step 3: Back up seed words offline
Write the seed on paper or metal. Do not store it in cloud notes, email drafts, or screenshots.

Complete wallet verification flow to ensure the backup is accurate.
Step 5: Test recovery once
