In this guide, we will outline how you can set up or recover an AZERO account on the mainnet 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 any of the compatible wallet interfaces.


How to set up a new account

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

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

  1. Open the Talisman extension and click 'New Wallet'.

    • If you already have an account restored, you'll need to click 'Add Account' in the menu on the left, followed by 'Polkadot'.

  1. Set a local password for the account, then hit 'Continue'.

  2. Next, you'll want to back up your seed phrase:

    1. Click 'Backup Now'.

    2. Enter your password and click 'View Recovery Phrase'.

    3. Save your mnemonic seed in a secure, offline medium before hitting 'I've backed it up' and closing the window. 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.

        • If you already have an account restored, you'll need to head to 'Settings' and select 'Backup Wallet' to back up your phrase.

  3. Congratulations, your account has now been created!

    • It should be visible in the 'Portfolio' tab once there are funds in it.


How to restore an existing account

  1. If using the mnemonic seed:

    1. Open Talisman and click 'Import a wallet'.

      • If you already have an account restored, you'll need to click 'Add Account' in the menu on the left, followed by 'Import via Recovery Phrase'.

    2. Enter your mnemonic seed and click 'Import wallet'.

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

    3. Enter a local password for the account and hit 'Continue'.

  1. If using the JSON file:

    1. Make sure that an account is already restored. Select 'Add Account' in the menu on the left, followed by 'Import via JSON file'.

    2. Insert your JSON file and enter its corresponding password. Then, hit 'Import'.

  1. Congratulations, your account has now been restored!

    • It should be visible in the 'Portfolio' tab once there are funds in it.
