Generating a MetaMask address

You will find the official instructions for generating a PHT wallet during the Altcoinomy Onboarding process.

The following video explainer takes you through generating a PHT wallet using MetaMask:

Alternatively you can follow the step by step guide provided below:

Click on “Create Wallet” to get started

Step 4: Create a password and accept the terms of use.

Step 5: Save your secret backup phrase and keep it somewhere safe. These 12 words are the only way to restore your MetaMask account. You will also need them to complete your wallet creation at the next step.

The Lightstreams PHT is a native token. It is NOT an ERC-20 token or similar. The Lightstreams network uses the same addressing format as Ethereum network. For this reason, we generate an ETH address using MetaMask. This ETH address will be the receiving PHT address for your purchased tokens.

For your information, MetaMask is chosen because:

  1. We can add Lightstreams as an additional network.
  2. You will need to be in control of the private key to sign transactions with a new Lightstreams network configuration.

Thanks for your support!
