Below are the famous wallets that you can use to connect with the WAX network:

  • Hardware Wallet- Hardware wallets are the best to store your assets safely. Note that if you wish to store WAX in Ledger, you have to install the EOS application in your LEDGER device as there is no WAX application available for the ledger. Users now need to generate keys using Scatter wallet (ledger does not support keys generation). Users can then import the keys into your Scatter wallet from the Ledger device.
  • Anchor Wallet- Anchor wallet is a secured, privacy-centered, open-sourced wallet that allows you to connect with EOSIO-based networks. The wallet was developed by Greymass and it is available for various operating systems including Windows, Linux, macOS, etc.

So, in this article, we will explain how you can install and set up the Anchor Wallet.

Select your desired network. We will connect with the EOS network. You can follow the same steps to connect to any of the supporting networks.

Don’t get surprised if you do not find the create account option in your Anchor wallet. This is due to the reason that the wallet application charges a fee for account creation. Users have to pay USD 1.99 to create an account in the EOS network. You can check the mobile (Android) version to know the charges for account creation on a different network (see the below screenshot, taken from the Anchor mobile wallet application).

We always suggest our users take back up their wallet account immediately when they create a wallet.

To take a backup, click on the Create Backup button as shown in the above screenshot. The application will display a 6-word keyphrase and ask you to verify the keyphrase.

Once this is done successfully, users will get the option to print or save the certificate.

A certification is a document about the user’s account, and it consists of the mnemonic key, a QR code, and, and a long alphanumeric address.

The owner’s key certificate will look like this.
