Proceed to add the BlocksPay extension to your browser by following the installation instructions specific to your browser. Once the installation is complete, you are ready to proceed.

Creating Your BlocksPay Wallet

Upon opening the BlocksPay extension for the first time, you will be greeted with a window that provides a brief overview of BlocksPay’s features. Here, you have the option to either create a new wallet or restore an existing one. Let’s start by creating a new wallet.

Click on the “Create a new wallet” button, and you will be prompted to set a password. Enter a strong password and click “Next.”

You will be asked to confirm your password by entering it again.

Once confirmed, it’s time to generate your secret recovery phrase.

A window will appear displaying your unique secret recovery phrase. Please note that the words shown below are for illustrative purposes only, and your recovery phrase will consist of a different set of completely random words. It is crucial to write down your secret recovery phrase and keep it in a safe place. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone, as it grants full access to your wallet and crypto assets. Once you have securely noted your recovery phrase, click “Next.”

To verify that you have correctly recorded your secret recovery phrase, a pop-up will appear, asking you to select the correct words from your unique recovery phrase. Carefully select the words and click “Next” to proceed.

After setting up your secret recovery phrase, your BlocksPay wallet is ready for use. It is important to emphasize that BlocksPay is a non-custodial wallet, meaning that only you have control over your wallet’s keys. Remember the golden rule: “Not your keys, not your crypto!” BlocksPay does not hold custody of your assets and does not collect or sell personal user data. As a final step, we recommend pinning the BlocksPay extension in your browser for easy access.
