Step 1: Download the Chrome Extension

You can expand the extension quickly with the following shortcut :

  • Alt + Maj + F (Windows)
  • Option + Maj + F (Mac)

Step 3: Watch a first Video on YouTube to create your wallet

Head over to YouTube and find a video from one of the +20k Youtube channels already registered in the Frak Protocol. To create your own wallet in the Frak Protocol and start being rewarded, you’ll need to watch this video for at least 1 minute (this allows the platform to avoid bots) and until the end of the video.

You can now see that the Frak icon is green 🟢

For more convenience, we advise you to watch directly the video presentation of Frak. In addition, you will have a global overview of the protocol !

Step 4: Let the Extension Create Your Wallet

Once the video is completed, The Frak Protocol Chrome extension will automatically create a wallet for you. You can also navigate away from the YouTube page to trigger the wallet creation. You can find now your wallet address in the header of the extension (just click on it if you need to copy it).

The Frak Protocol’s onboarding process is designed to be user-friendly and efficient.
