What a wallet is
A wallet is the app or extension that holds your keys and lets you connect to project sites. Whoever has your seed phrase controls everything inside.
How to create it
- Download the wallet only from its official site and check the address carefully: clones exist.
- Create a new wallet just for airdrops. Don't use the one with your savings.
- Write the seed phrase on paper and keep it offline. Don't photograph it or save it in the cloud, notes or chats.
- Never share it with anyone, not even someone claiming to be support.
- Add a network only if the project asks for it and only from its official site.
Which wallet to pick
Ethereum-compatible networks (EVM) use wallets like MetaMask or Rabby. Solana has different wallets, such as Phantom or Solflare. Each DROPiT page shows the network: if a different wallet is needed, create a new one.
What you are signing
Connecting the wallet and signing a message usually costs nothing. Approving a transaction or a permission, however, can move funds. Always read the request: if you don't understand it, don't approve it.
Now and then, review and revoke permissions you no longer need with the network's permission-checking tools.
Warning: Anyone who asks for your seed phrase wants to empty your wallet. There is no good reason to give it.
