Setup Tutorial

Everything you need to go from zero to sending your first transaction — safely.

Before you begin

1

Create a new wallet

Open Metrust → tap Create new wallet → tap Generate recovery phrase. Write all 12 words on paper in order. Tap I have written it down, name your wallet, then continue to backup.

2

Backup to your computer

Choose a strong backup password (8+ characters). Export the encrypted .json file and save it to your Mac or PC — not in email unless you trust the encryption. Store the password separately.

3

Import an existing wallet

Tap Import wallet → choose Seed phrase, EVM private key, or Solana private key → enter credentials → complete backup export. Your addresses appear on the Wallet tab immediately.

4

Practice on testnet first

Go to Settings → Network mode → Testnet. Switch EVM network to Sepolia. Get free Sepolia ETH from a faucet. Send a small test transaction before using mainnet.

5

Send & receive

Receive: Tap Receive → choose EVM or Solana → share QR or address.
Send: Tap Send → pick chain → enter address and amount → confirm with biometrics.
Tokens: In Send, switch to the Token tab and select USDC, USDT, or WETH.

6

Connect to dApps (WalletConnect)

Open the Connect tab. On a dApp (e.g. Uniswap), choose WalletConnect → copy the wc: URI → paste in Metrust → approve the connection → approve each signing request individually.

7

Verify on block explorers

Tap the explorer icon next to your address to view it on Etherscan, BscScan, or Solscan. Activity tab transactions also open directly in the explorer.
