What Is a Wallet & Where to Find Your Address: A Quick Guide

Did you receive a BitJeton voucher from a loved one, or are you ready to start your crypto journey with BitJeton? Either way, you’re in the right place. Before you can redeem your voucher, it’s essential to understand what a crypto wallet is, how to set one up, and where to find your wallet address.

What Is a Wallet Address?

A wallet address is like your bank account number for cryptocurrencies. It’s a unique string of letters and numbers that identifies where your crypto is stored. When you redeem a BitJeton voucher or transfer funds, you’ll need to provide this address so the crypto can be sent to your wallet. Think of it like sending a letter – you need the correct recipient address. If the address is wrong, your funds could be lost permanently.

Setting Up a Crypto Wallet: A Step-by-Step Guide

Trust Wallet (Mobile Wallet)

• Download the Trust Wallet app from the official app store.
• Open the app and select Create a New Wallet.
• Write down the 12-word recovery phrase (seed phrase) and store it securely.
• Confirm the phrase and set a PIN.
• To receive funds, select the cryptocurrency and tap Receive. Copy the address displayed.

MetaMask (Browser Extension)

• Visit the official MetaMask website and add the extension.
• Click Get Started and create a new wallet.
• Securely store the seed phrase and confirm it.
• Create a strong password.
• Click on the account icon to view and copy your wallet address.

Ledger/Trezor (Hardware Wallets)

• Purchase the device from the official website.
• Follow the setup instructions to generate a seed phrase.
• Connect the device to your computer and access it via Ledger Live or Trezor Suite.
• To receive funds, navigate to the asset and click Receive.

What Is a Seed Phrase?

A seed phrase is a set of 12-24 words that acts as a backup to your wallet. If you lose your device or forget your password, the seed phrase is the only way to recover your funds. Keep it private and secure. If anyone gains access to it, they can control your assets.

Key Tips for Crypto Transactions

• Double-Check the Address: Crypto transactions are irreversible. Double-check the wallet address before sending.
• Select the Correct Network: Some assets (like Ethereum) can be sent over multiple networks (ERC-20, BEP-20). Ensure you choose the right one.
• Never Share Your Private Key or Seed Phrase: Your wallet address is safe to share; your seed phrase is not.
