### **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.
