Saving your Secret Key. This a critical step you should take seriously (please see details in Appendix). Do not store these words on an internet or cloud connected device. We recommend you βCopy to clipboardβ, paste into a document/text editor, print 3β5 physical copies (then close document without saving), store each physical copy in a different secure location. When you are ready, select βIβve saved itβ to proceed.
Set a password for your wallet. This password is a shortcut so that you can access your wallet on this specific browser without having to enter the Key Phrase each time (please see details in Appendix). Once password is set, select βDone.β
Your Hiro Wallet has been successfully created! By clicking on βCopy Addressβ you will copy to clipboard your Stacks wallet address (which will always begin with βSPβ¦.β).
Of course your wallet is empty at this point, and an empty wallet isnβt useful for very much, so scroll over to the βBuyβ button to add funds in the form of STX to your wallet (please see details in Appendix).
With some STX deposited, you are now ready to proceed to the ALEX to experience full service DeFi on Bitcoin. Enjoy!
