In this article, we will outline how you can set up or recover an AZERO account using .

Please note that:

  • When using a third-party wallet interface, your coins are kept on the blockchain in a non-custodial fashion.

  • Third-party wallet interfaces are just different tools to access the blockchain.

  • You can restore your account using your JSON file or mnemonic seed via of the compatible wallet interfaces.


How to set up a new account

  1. First, you'll need to install the SubWallet browser extension.

    • It is available on , Brave, & MS Edge.

  1. Open the SubWallet extension and click 'Get started'.

    • If you already have an account restored, you will first need to click the icon in the top right corner, followed by 'Create new account'.

  1. Click 'Create new account'.

  1. Choose the first type of account (not EVM). Then, save your mnemonic seed in a secure, offline medium before hitting 'I have saved my mnemonic seed safely.', followed by 'Next Step'. You can click 'Copy to clipboard' to copy your seed.

    • It is vital that you handle your mnemonic seed with care.

    • DO NOT share it with anyone.

    • DO NOT store it on an online device.

    • If someone obtains your mnemonic seed, they will have access to all of the coins in your account.

    • You cannot change or edit your mnemonic seed.

    • The Aleph Zero team will never ask you to share your seed with us, even in a support scenario.

  2. Set a local password for the account. Then click on 'Add the account with the generated seed'.

  3. Search for "Aleph Zero" in the search bar, click the slider and hit 'Confirm'.

  4. Congratulations, your account has now been created!

    • It should be visible by clicking the icon in the top right corner.


How to restore an existing account

  1. Open SubWallet and click 'Import account from pre-existing seed' or 'Restore account from JSON backup file', depending on which method you intend to use to restore your account.

    • If you already have an account restored, you will first need to click the icon in the top right corner, followed by either 'Import account from seed phrase' or 'Restore account from Polkadot{.js}'.

  1. If using the mnemonic seed:

    1. Enter your mnemonic seed and hit 'Next Step'.

      • Ensure that the words are in the correct order and are spelt correctly.

  2. Set a local password for the account and click 'Add the account with the supplied seed'.

  1. If using the JSON file:

    1. Insert your JSON file and enter its corresponding password. Then, hit 'Restore'.

  1. Well done, your account has now been restored!
