Creating Your First Digital Wallet

🔐 Part 1: In this example we are creating a Digital Wallet using Trust Wallet

Step 1: Download the Trust Wallet App

• Go to the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
• Search for “Trust Wallet” (official publisher is Trust Wallet).
• Download and install the app.

⚠️ Double-check you’re downloading the correct app!

Step 2: Create a New Wallet

• Open the app.
• Tap “Create a new wallet.”
• Read and accept the Terms of Service and tap Continue.

Step 3: Back Up Your Recovery Phrase (IMPORTANT)

• Trust Wallet will show you a 12-word recovery phrase.
• Write it down on paper and store it securely offline. DO NOT take a screenshot. IMPORTANT!
• Tap Continue, then enter the words in order to confirm.

🔐 This phrase is the ONLY way to recover your wallet if you lose your phone. Never share it. IMPORTANT!

Step 4: Your Wallet Is Ready

• You’re now inside your Trust Wallet dashboard.
• You’ll see wallets for various coins like BNB, ETH, BTC, etc.

💸 Part 2: Buying BNB (Binance Coin)

Option A: Buy BNB Directly in Trust Wallet (Simplest for Beginners)

Step 1: Tap “Buy or Fund”

• Select BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), not the original BNB Beacon Chain unless you have a reason, then the buy or fund option.

Step 2: Choose Amount and Provider

• Enter the amount (e.g., $20 worth).
• Choose a payment provider (e.g., MoonPay, Ramp, or Transak etc).
• Tap Next.

🏦 You may need to complete KYC (ID verification) with the provider the first time you use it. Typical!

Step 4: Enter Card Info and Pay

• Enter your credit/debit card details.
• Confirm your purchase.

⏳ Wait a few minutes, then the BNB should show up in your Trust Wallet soon.

💡 Extra Tips for Beginners

• Gas Fees: BNB (BEP-20) is often used to pay transaction fees for anything on BNB Smart Chain.
• Security Tip: Enable app passcode lock or biometric security under Settings > Security.
• No bank? Use a prepaid Visa/Mastercard instead, some providers accept them.
• Watch for scams: Never enter your recovery phrase online or give it to anyone. IMPORTANT!
