Never save it as a screenshot, text file, or email. Confirm you have saved it correctly by entering the words in a prompted sequence. This phrase is the only key to your funds; losing it means permanent loss.<br><br><br>Set a strong password specifically for the extension's local access.

This is the single most reliable method to avoid fraudulent software.<br><br><br>Open your Chrome, Brave, or Edge browser and navigate to the Chrome Web Store. Use the search bar to find "Safepal Wallet". Look for the developer name "Safepal" to confirm authenticity before you click the "Add to Chrome" button. A pop-up will appear asking for confirmation; select "Add extension" to begin the installation. The process typically completes within a few seconds.<br><br><br>Once installed, you'll see the Safepal icon appear in your browser's toolbar. Click this icon to launch the setup. You will be presented with two clear options: "Create Wallet" for a new setup or "Import Wallet" if you're using an existing Safepal or compatible wallet.

Your choice depends entirely on whether this is your first crypto wallet or if you are accessing funds from another service.<br><br><br>For a completely new wallet, select "Create Wallet". The extension will generate a unique 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase (SRP).<br><br><br><br><br><br>Write each word down in the exact order presented.<br><br><br>Use a pen and paper, not a digital screenshot or text file.<br><br><br>Store this paper in multiple secure physical locations.<br><br><br><br>You will then confirm your phrase by selecting the words in the correct sequence. This step verifies your backup and activates your new wallet.<br><br><br>To bring an existing wallet into SafePal, choose "Import Wallet". You have three secure methods:<br><br><br><br><br><br>Secret Recovery Phrase: Enter your 12, 18, or 24-word mnemonic phrase from your previous wallet.<br><br><br>Private Key: Paste the specific private key for a single blockchain address.<br><br><br>Keystore File: Upload your encrypted JSON file and enter the password you set for it.<br><br><br><br>After importing, your complete asset balance and transaction history from that wallet will appear. The SafePal extension does not hold your coins; it provides a secure interface to manage them on the blockchain using your keys.<br><br><br>Regardless of your path, establish a strong extension password. This password encrypts your wallet data locally on your browser, adding a required layer of security for every access attempt.<br><br><br><br>Using the Extension for Transactions, Swaps, and dApp Connections<br><br>Initiate a standard crypto transfer by clicking the 'Send' button within the extension's main interface. You'll need the exact recipient address, the network (like BNB Smart Chain or Ethereum), and the amount. The extension clearly shows the network fee before you confirm; approving it with your hardware wallet's button completes the transaction.<br><br><br>For token swaps, select the 'Swap' function. The extension aggregates rates from multiple decentralized exchanges to find you a good deal. You must manually approve the spending of the token you're swapping from–this is a one-time per token contract action. Always check the slippage tolerance in the settings; 1-3% is typical for most assets.<br><br><br>Connecting to a dApp is straightforward. Visit a supported application like PancakeSwap or OpenSea and look for its 'Connect Wallet' button. Choose SafePal from the list of wallet options–the extension will prompt you to approve the connection. This only shares your public address, not private keys.<br><br><br>When interacting with complex dApp functions, such as providing liquidity or minting an NFT, you'll see a detailed transaction pane. Review every parameter here: contract address, function call, and maximum gas. If anything looks unfamiliar, cancel and verify the dApp's legitimacy. Each action requires a final confirmation on your paired SafePal hardware device for security.<br><br><br>You can monitor all these activities in the 'History' tab. Each entry shows the transaction hash; clicking it opens the relevant block explorer for that chain, giving you an independent record of the on-chain event.<br><br><br><br>Q&A:<br><br><br>I installed the Safepal extension, but the icon is gray and won't open. What should I do?<br><br>This usually means the extension is not fully initialized or is locked. First, click the gray icon. A new tab should open with the Safepal interface. If you see a lock screen, enter your wallet password to unlock it. If nothing appears or the tab is blank, try these steps: completely close and restart your browser, check if you have multiple wallet extensions conflicting (disable others temporarily), and ensure your browser is updated. If the problem continues, reinstall the extension from the official Chrome Web Store, but never delete your wallet without having your Secret Recovery Phrase backed up and secure.<br><br><br><br>Can I use the same wallet on the Safepal mobile app and the browser extension?<br><br>Yes, you can use the same wallet across both. The recommended method is to create your wallet first on the mobile app, which is a hardware-backed device, and then import it into the browser extension using your Secret Recovery Phrase. This approach is often viewed as more secure. Alternatively, you can create a wallet directly in the extension and later import that phrase into the mobile app. Your assets and transaction history will sync because both interfaces connect to the blockchain using the same set of private keys derived from your single recovery phrase.<br><br><br><br>What's the difference between the "Built-in DApp Browser" and just connecting to websites?<br><br>The "Built-in DApp Browser" is a feature within the Safepal mobile app that functions as a separate, secure browser window for visiting decentralized applications. The browser extension, however, works directly inside your desktop browser like Chrome or Brave. When you visit a DApp website (like a DeFi site) on your desktop, the extension will pop up to approve connections and sign transactions. The extension doesn't have a separate browser; it integrates with the one you already use. The mobile browser is self-contained, while the desktop extension interacts with your existing browser tabs.<br><br><br><br>Is the browser extension safe from phishing sites?<br><br>The extension includes safety features, but you remain the primary defense. It displays the connection request details, showing which website you're connecting to. Always verify this address matches the legitimate site's URL. The extension itself cannot stop you from visiting a fake website. Key safety practices are: never enter your Secret Recovery Phrase on any website, bookmark genuine DApp URLs, and double-check all transaction details in the extension pop-up before signing. The extension acts as a secure gatekeeper for your keys, but site verification is your responsibility.<br><br><br><br>I approved a transaction by mistake. Can I cancel it using the extension?<br><br>Once a transaction is signed and broadcast to the network, you cannot cancel it through the wallet interface. The extension's job is to sign and send; it cannot retrieve a sent transaction. For some pending transactions, you might attempt to speed it up or replace it with a higher network fee if the network supports it, but this is not a cancellation. Your only option is to check the transaction hash on a block explorer to see its status. To avoid this, always review the recipient address, amount, and network fee carefully on the extension's confirmation screen before final approval.

I installed the extension. How do I create a new wallet?
