how to store and manage your digital assets
Firstly, Don't Panic.
Why "Rabet?"
You don’t have to understand blockchain technology at all to set up a wallet.
Setting up a wallet is really easy. And we’ve made it easier with a step-by-step set-up for a “Rabet” wallet below.
We recommend “Rabet” because it’s simple, accessible in your browser, and is fairly quick to set up. “Rabet” can be installed to Chrome, Firefox, and Brave browsers. But any Stellar wallet SHOULD work so there is no reason to limit yourself if you want to try something else.
If you are a MAC browser user then you should just run a search for “Stellar Wallet” and find one that works for you.
Why Stellar?
It’s fast, cheap, and environmentally friendly. No other reason.
Where sell?
You just need to link your wallet to this site and you can see your assets and sell them if you want. But you should be able to sell them on ANY Stellar gallery.
Step By Step Wallet Set-Up
1. Install the Rabet Wallet Extension
- Go to rabet.io.
- Click on “download” or “chrome extension” to be directed to the appropriate extension store (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/rabet/hgmoaheomcjnaheggkfafnjilfcefbmo).
- Install the extension by clicking “Add to Chrome” (or the respective button for Firefox).
2. Create a New Wallet
- Once installed, click the Rabet icon in your browser’s toolbar.
- Click on “Create a new wallet”.
- Rabet will generate a secret key and public key for you.
3. Backup Your Secret Key
- Rabet will display your secret recovery key (also known as a seed phrase).
- Write down your secret key on paper or store it securely in a password manager. Do not share it or store it online.
- Confirm that you’ve written down the key by checking the box.
4. Set a Wallet Password
- Create a strong password for your Rabet Wallet.
- This will encrypt your wallet locally on your device.
5. Confirm Your Wallet
- Once your password is set, your wallet is created.
- You will now see your public key, which is your Stellar address.
6. Fund Your Wallet (Optional)
- To activate your wallet on the Stellar network, you need to fund it with a minimum of 1.5 XLM.
- You can transfer XLM from another wallet or purchase XLM on a cryptocurrency exchange.
- The Ice Cream Golem himself will be sending you XLM from his personal account to activate your wallet. You needn’t trouble yourself.
7. Start Using Your Rabet Wallet
- Use the Rabet wallet to send and receive Stellar (XLM) and interact with Stellar-based apps.
That’s it! You now have a Rabet Wallet set up and ready to use.
