This article describes how to create a wallet using the XSeed chain RPC. As the chain is EVM compatible, the best choice of wallet is Metamask.

What is MetaMask?

Public blockchains like Ethereum are the next evolution of Internet databases, and MetaMask is the next evolution of the browser.

MetaMask is a web browser extension and mobile app that allows you to manage your Ethereum private keys. By doing so, it serves as a wallet for Ether and other tokens, and allows you to interact with decentralized applications, or dapps. Unlike some wallets, MetaMask keeps no information on you: not your email address, not your password, and not your Secret Recovery Phrase or other private keys. You retain all power over your crypto-identity.

How to install MetaMask:

Visit https://metamask.io/
Hit “Download” in the menu bar.
Click “Install MetaMask for Chrome”. You will be directed to the Chrome Web Store.
Click “Add to <browser>”.
On the pop up, click “Add extension”.

Configuring your privacy settings

When installing the MetaMask extension, you’ll be able to adjust privacy settings one-by-one to ensure the app is set up according to your privacy preferences.

To do this, simply hit the ‘Advanced configuration’ button in the wallet set-up process. Here you can toggle/configure settings including:

Phishing detection
Incoming transactions
Additional token price information from third-party sources
The default RPC provider
Token autodetect
Batch account requests
Custom IPFS gateway.

Don’t worry if you’re unsure during setup: once your wallet is up and running, you can access the same settings at any time in Settings > Security & Privacy.
