Create a Wallet

Creating your DeGate account

The mobile app is the recommended path. Install it, then pick the way in that fits you.

Ways to add a wallet

The Add Wallet screen offers six options:

Add Wallet options

• Connect External Wallet: sign in with a wallet you already have, via WalletConnect (up to 10 external wallet accounts).

• Connect Hardware Wallet: OneKey is supported via Bluetooth; hardware accounts currently cover Receive, same-chain Send, and Turbo Range. See the FAQ below.

• Create Wallet: generate a new wallet with a 12-word recovery phrase, created locally on your device. Write the phrase down and store it offline.

• Import Wallet: bring an existing 12-word recovery phrase.

• Continue with Email: the fastest start if you are new to crypto. Enter your email, confirm the code from your inbox, and set a password.

• Sync from DeGate Web: bring an account you use on the DeGate web app into the app.

For higher-value assets, we recommend Create Wallet or Import Wallet (or connecting a hardware wallet), so that you hold the recovery phrase yourself.

Create a wallet via the web app

Visit app.degate.com and click Connect Wallet, then choose your preferred method. Email login works here too: the same email wallet can be used in the app and the web app.

FAQ

Do I need a separate wallet for each chain? No. One DeGate wallet gives you addresses across supported chains, generated as you enable each chain and controlled by your keys. See Wallet Addresses & Networks.

Who holds the keys of the wallet I just created? You do. DeGate cannot access your private keys regardless of which creation method you choose. See Security Overview.

Does creating a wallet require identity verification? No. DeGate is a key-management app, not an account service: there is no registration and no onboarding flow. Feature availability may vary by jurisdiction, and users are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws.

Can I use a hardware wallet? Yes, partially. OneKey (via Bluetooth) is supported today; hardware-wallet accounts currently cover Receive, same-chain Send, and Turbo Range, and do not yet cover Bitcoin. The web app (app.degate.com) also supports hardware wallet connections.
