  2. When you open the extension, you will be presented with five options: create a new wallet, import an existing Leap or import using MetaMask/EVM wallet, or import using a seed phrase/private key. If you want to create a completely new wallet, choose the option to create a new wallet.

Note: Import using a private key from MetaMask/EVM wallet into Compass Wallet to generate the same wallet address as your EVM wallet. Importing using the seed phrase will generate a different address than the one you have on MetaMask.

  1. You will be shown a seed phrase. Make sure to save this phrase in a safe and secure location, as it is the only way to recover your wallet. Do not share this phrase with anyone. The seed phrase shown below is for demo purposes.
