Getting started — install & initial setup
Installation is straightforward: download the extension from the official site or a verified browser store entry. On first load you may choose to create a new wallet (recommended for new users) or import an existing wallet with your recovery phrase. The setup prompts you to create a password and shows the recovery phrase with a clear backup flow. Follow the on-screen steps — the extension will not allow you to proceed without acknowledging backup advice.
Key features explained
The extension provides several core features: token management (send/receive/swap), built-in dApp connection, network management, transaction history, and NFT viewing. Token swapping is often integrated with aggregated DEXs (decentralized exchanges) to offer competitive rates. The dApp connector follows prevalent standards so apps detect the extension automatically and request permissions for account access.
Swap, Send, and Approvals
Using swap: choose tokens, set slippage, and confirm the transaction in the extension. For sending tokens, validate address checksums and include memos or data if the recipient requires them (some chains need extra fields). Approvals should be limited; when granting contract approvals, prefer one-time allowances or specific amounts to reduce risk.
Managing networks
The extension includes presets for major networks and allows custom RPC entries for less-common chains. Use reputable RPC endpoints and avoid unknown third-party RPCs that may monitor or alter transactions. For test scenarios, use testnets and small amounts to validate behavior.
Support & troubleshooting
If the extension fails to load, try refreshing the browser, ensuring the extension is enabled, and checking for browser updates. For transaction issues, use the explorer to verify TX status and consult the extension’s help pages for error codes. Official support and blog channels often publish guides for common scenarios.
