If you haven't installed the app yet, check our How to install THORWallet DEX

Step 1: Security Check

When you open the app for the first time, you'll be greeted with a Security Check. This process runs every time the app is opened to ensure that THORChain’s third-party services are functioning correctly. After the Security Check is complete, you’ll see the following screen:

Click "Get Started."
Review and accept the Terms of Service (TOS).
Click "Continue."

Step 2: Set Up Your Password

Next, you'll need to set up a password. You have two options:
- PIN or
- Alphanumeric password.
This password will be required each time you open the app and will be used to authenticate transactions.

Step 3: Create or Import a Wallet

On the following screen, you'll have the option to either:

Create a new wallet or
Import an existing wallet (using a seed phrase from another Web3 wallet like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, etc.).

For this guide, we’ll create a new wallet:

Click "Create Wallet."

Step 4: Backup Your Seed Phrase

The app will generate a seed phrase for your wallet. This phrase is crucial because it is used to recover your wallet if you uninstall the app or need to import it into another Web3 wallet.

Important:

Your seed phrase is what protects your funds.
Never share it with anyone, either online or offline, and do not display it in front of a camera.
Store it in a secure location, such as on paper or a flash drive.

Step 5: Enter Referral Code (Optional)

After backing up your seed phrase, the app will ask for a Referral Code. If you have one, you can enter it here, or find one here. You can also skip this step and proceed without a code.

Step 6: Enable Biometrics (Optional)

You will be prompted to set up biometric authentication (e.g., fingerprint or face recognition). You can choose to enable or disable this feature based on your preference.
