Use this checklist before installing MetaMask or any self-custody wallet. It keeps the original page structure while shifting the content toward safe, transparent guidance.

Secure crypto wallet setup checklist

Three verification tracks

Each track is written for visitors searching for wallet download help while making clear that this website is independent and does not distribute wallet software.

1. Confirm the source

Start from the official domain, official browser extension store, or official mobile app store. Avoid links from ads, comments, private messages, and copied landing pages.

2. Protect the phrase

Write the Secret Recovery Phrase offline. Never upload it, screenshot it, paste it into support chats, or enter it into a site that promises synchronization.

3. Review signatures

Wallet prompts can approve spending or sign messages. Read network, permissions, token amounts, and dapp domain before approving anything.

Ready to install safely?

Open the official source yourself, verify the URL, then continue with the checklist before storing funds.
