Follow these steps to complete your wallet setup and ensure it's optimized for use in the DeFi space. {% endhint %} ## **Step 1: Secure Your Recovery Phrase** * After creating your wallet, ensure that your **12-word recovery phrase** is securely stored. * **Do not share** this phrase with anyone, and keep a physical copy in a secure location. It is the only way to restore your wallet in case of device loss or damage. ## **Step 2: Enable Multi-Coin Wallet** * TrustWallet supports multiple blockchains (Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, etc.). Ensure your wallet is set up as a **multi-coin wallet** to manage different cryptocurrencies like **ETH, BNB, and $TDFI**. * If not already enabled, go to **Settings** > **Wallets** and verify that the multi-coin option is selected. ## **Step 3: Add Custom Tokens** * To interact with specific tokens (such as **$TDFI** from your **Tradefi.bot** project), you may need to add them manually. * Tap the **“+” icon** in the top right corner of the home screen, search for your token, or add it by pasting the **contract address**. * For Ethereum-based tokens, select the **Ethereum network**, and for BNB-based tokens, choose **Binance Smart Chain**. ## **Step 4: Switch Between Blockchains** * TrustWallet supports multiple networks, including **Ethereum (ETH)** and **Binance Smart Chain (BSC)**. * To set up your wallet for DeFi transactions on different blockchains, tap the **Network icon** at the top right of the app's home screen, and select the blockchain on which you want to operate (e.g., **ETH** for Ethereum-based tokens or **BSC** for Binance Smart Chain). ## **Step 5: Activate Push Notifications** * Enable **push notifications** to receive real-time updates about transactions or token price changes. This will help you stay informed and manage your assets effectively. * Go to **Settings** > **Push Notifications**, and toggle on the alerts for important wallet activity. ## **Step 6: Set Up Security Features** * TrustWallet offers several security features to protect your assets: * **PIN Code or Biometric Authentication**: Activate a **PIN code** or enable **biometric authentication** (fingerprint or face recognition) for secure access to your wallet. Go to **Settings** > **Security** to configure these features. * **Transaction Signing Alerts**: Enable transaction signing alerts to receive notifications when any outgoing transaction is initiated, adding another layer of security. ## **Step 7: Backup Your Wallet** * Double-check that your **recovery phrase** has been properly backed up. This phrase is essential for restoring your wallet, and without it, your assets cannot be recovered. * TrustWallet does not have access to your recovery phrase, and the wallet cannot be restored without it, so safeguarding this information is critical. ## **Step 8: Connect to dApps** * TrustWallet provides seamless integration with decentralized applications (dApps). To connect to dApps like **Tradefi.bot**, navigate to the **Browser** or **dApps** section in the TrustWallet app. * Enter the URL of the dApp you wish to interact with or search for it within the app. ## **Step 9: Add Funds to Your Wallet** * Once your wallet is set up, you will need to add funds to interact with DeFi platforms like **Tradefi.bot**. * To receive tokens, tap **Receive**, select the cryptocurrency you want to deposit (e.g., **ETH, BNB**), and share your wallet address or QR code. * You can purchase crypto directly in TrustWallet via a third-party provider or transfer assets from another wallet. ## **Step 10: Manage and Monitor Your Portfolio** * TrustWallet allows you to track your portfolio with real-time data: * On the home screen, view your token balances and price movements. * To see detailed information about a specific token, tap on it for a breakdown of transaction history and current value. ## **Step 11: Stay Up-to-Date** * Periodically update your **TrustWallet** app and device software to ensure you are using the latest version with all security patches and features. * Regular updates help protect your assets and maintain compatibility with the latest dApps and DeFi platforms. > Following these steps will ensure that your **TrustWallet** is set up securely and is fully optimized for DeFi activities, including interacting with **Tradefi.bot** and other decentralized applications. With the right setup, you can confidently manage your assets and participate in the DeFi ecosystem. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
