Access wallet.ofero.network

Create a New Wallet

1. Click "Create Wallet":

   • This will generate a new wallet and display a 24-word recovery phrase. ⚠️ Important: Write down the recovery phrase on paper. Do not save it digitally to avoid security risks.

2. Optional - Set a Password:

   • Add an extra layer of security by choosing a password. This step is optional but recommended.

3. Download Your Wallet Backup:

   • Download the ZIP file containing your wallet’s .json file and recovery phrase. 💾 Store the ZIP File Securely:

     • Save the file in a secure folder on your PC.

     • Alternatively, copy it to a USB drive and keep it in a safe location, such as a locked drawer or safe.

Restore an Existing Wallet

1. If you already have a seed phrase, click on the "Restore Wallet" option.

2. Enter your 24-word recovery phrase and set a password (if desired).

3. Download the generated .json file for future use.

   • The .json file is essential for integrating your wallet with platforms like ofero.exchange.

Security Tips

• Backup Your Recovery Phrase:

  • Always write down your 24-word phrase on paper and store it in a secure place. Do not share it with anyone.

• Store the Backup Safely:

  • Keep the ZIP file on a device that is not connected to the internet or in a physical safe.

• Password Protection:

  • If you set a password for the .json, ensure it is unique and strong. Do not share it.

Anyone who obtains your 24-word recovery phrase will have full access to your funds—no additional password or security measure is required to transfer the funds.
