Casper Wallet is a self-custodial wallet that lives in your browser or mobile device, giving you access to everything on the Casper blockchain. As the name suggests, self-custodial means that you are the only one who controls your wallet and funds, and not a third party.

When you create a Casper account on Casper Wallet:

• You get a public key, which acts like your account number. You can share it with others to receive tokens.
  
  
• You also receive a secret recovery phrase, which allows you to recover your wallet. This phrase must be kept private and secure.
  
  

Casper Wallet is currently available as a browser extension (for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave) and a mobile app (iOS and Android)

How to Set Up Casper Wallet on Desktop

1: Go to the official Casper Wallet site at casperwallet.io. Navigate to the “Browser” tab and select your preferred browser.

‍

Important: Always install Casper Wallet from the official site to avoid phishing attempts or fake extensions.

2: Click “Download”, which will redirect you to the correct extension store (e.g., Chrome Web Store).

3. Click “Add to Chrome” (or the equivalent button for your browser). Once installed, you’ll see a confirmation, and the Casper Wallet icon will appear in your browser toolbar or extension menu.

4: Click the Casper Wallet icon in your browser. The wallet interface will open in a new tab. Select “Create New Wallet” to begin the setup process.

5: You’ll be prompted to create a password. This password will be used to unlock your wallet. Remember, the password should be unique and difficult to guess.

6: Enter and confirm your password and select “Create Password”.

7: You will now be shown a Secret Recovery Phrase consisting of multiple random words. This phrase is the only way to recover your wallet if you lose access to your device or browser.

1. Write the phrase down and store it somewhere safe and offline.
2. Do not take a screenshot or save it on a cloud drive.
3. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone.
   
   

Reminder: If someone gains access to this phrase, they can access and control your wallet. Casper Wallet cannot help you recover it if it’s lost.

8. After you’ve copied and saved the phrase, click “Next”.

9. To ensure that you’ve properly saved the phrase, you’ll be asked to select the words from your recovery phrase in the correct order. Once you complete the confirmation, click “Confirm” to proceed.

You’ve now successfully set up your Casper Wallet.

You’ll see your new public key displayed in the wallet interface. Remember, this is your account address and can be shared to receive CSPR.

Tip: If you don’t see the Casper Wallet icon in your browser toolbar, click the puzzle icon (extensions menu), then click the pin icon next to Casper Wallet to make it visible for quick access.
