Talisman is a self-custody, multi-chain Web3 wallet that lets you store Polkadot assets.
In this guide, you'll find out:
Talisman is a non-custodial, independently audited multi-chain wallet that can be downloaded as a browser extension. It allows you to track your portfolio across multiple networks and earn rewards through staking. Plus, gives you the option of supporting your favorite Polkadot projects by letting you participate in crowdloans.
Here’s a step-by-step guide for creating your own Talisman wallet.
Head over to Talisman.xyz.
Download the wallet and add the browser extension.
Once the download is complete, access the extension on your browser to get started.
Create a secure password.
Agree to the privacy settings.
Create a new Polkadot or Ethereum account.
Choose a name for your account.
Copy your recovery phrase in correct order and keep it somewhere safe where no one can find it.
Important note: Never give out your private key or recovery phrase to anyone or any website. If you do so, malicious actors will have complete access to your funds and you may never retrieve them again. It is highly recommended to write your recovery phrase down and keep it in a safe and secure place. If you lose your seed phrase, Talisman won't be able to help you get your wallet back, and your funds will be permanently gone.
