Creating A Wallet

To get started in the Telos ecosystem you’ll need a cryptocurrency wallet. A wallet allows you to securely store your assets and interact with dApps (Decentralized Applications) within the Telos ecosystem.

Wallet Options

We will be going over the MetaMask wallet option for Telos EVM. Please visit the Telos Docs for information on all Telos supported wallet options.

NEVER give anyone your private key or recovery phase "seed phrase"

This will give someone complete access to your crypto!

MetaMask (Telos EVM)​

MetaMask is an industry-standard and is used across all EVMs. If you have experience in crypto or already use MetaMask, then this is a great option for you.

Step I - Install MetaMask​

1. Head over to MetaMask
2. MetaMask is compatible with multiple browsers, iOS & Android.

Be attentive to each install tip that MetaMask may give.

Be sure to save and safely store any and all private keys/seed phrases during the MetaMask install. If your private key/ seed phrase is lost or stolen you lose control over your account and wallet. Please keep your key/s safe!

Step II - Import The Telos EVM RPC

1. Head over to teloscan
2. Click "Sign in" on the top right corner of the page.

3. Select MetaMask

1. Click "Approve" to add the tEVM network to your MetaMask wallet.

2. Click "Switch network" If you'd like to swap over from your current network to the tEVM network.

With the network added you can now enjoy what the tEVM ecosystem has to offer! We are sure you'll love the instant speeds, cheap transactions and the lack of front running.
