In this article, I will show you how you can easily create your own WAVES wallet with the WX.Network. WX.Network is a wallet, but also an exchange, in which you can hold crypto, but also buy and sell it. Creating the wallet is easy and takes about 5-10 minutes.

Requirements

First you need to download and install the official WAVES wallet (WX.Network). The program can be downloaded from the official Waves website: WX.Network. The wallet is available for Windows, MacOS and Linux.

1. Create WAVES-Wallet

Start the wallet and click on the Sign Up button and then on the Software button.

You are now in the Create account view. In this view, you must assign a password to your wallet and accept the terms and conditions. Then click on Create account.

Next, select a Waves address. The address you select here will be your public deposit and withdrawal address. Then click on Continue.

Now you can give your wallet a name. The name will not be saved on the WAVES blockchain. The name is only saved within this installation/app.

That's it! You now have a WAVES wallet and therefore also a WAVES deposit and withdrawal address. You can give this deposit and withdrawal address to anyone you want to transfer WAVES to.

Important! Important! Important! The next step is extremely important. The next step is to back up your wallet so that you can access your assets/coins/cryptocurrencies even in the event of data loss.

2. Secure WAVES Wallet Seed!

This section is all about securing your seed. The seed is the only key to your crypto assets.

Now click on the button Save in the window at the bottom left.

Your wallet seed will then be displayed. Make sure that nobody sees this seed. Anyone who has this seed also has access to all your crypto values/assets!

Now make a note of this seed in exactly the same order as it is shown - from top left to bottom right. The order is observed when restoring. A different order means a different address!

Make sure you make a secure note of your wallet seed! It is the only key to your crypto assets. Protect your future and make a note of your seed and store it in one or more secure locations.

Seed written down? If so, you can close the window with I've Written It Down.

Done! That's basically it. Now here's a little information about the WX.Network wallet.

3. Wallet Settings

You can find all wallet settings via the avatar. Simply click on the arrow in the top right.

Here you will find the most important point, the settings. There you will also find your seed, the encoded seed (for node operators) and the private key. You can also change the password via the settings.

That's it, your WAVES wallet is now fully created.
