3. You will be shown a seed phrase. Make sure to save this seed phrase in a safe and secure location, as it is the only way to recover your wallet. Do not share this seed phrase with anyone. The seed phrase shown below is for demo purposes.

4. Add the missing words from the seed phrase you have noted down with you. We have enabled this extra step to ensure you write your secret recovery phase with yourself on a piece of paper. Note: We won’t be able to help you recover the wallet if you lost your seed phrase.

There, you should find Leap Wallet and you can click on the "pin icon" to pin it to your toolbar for easy access in the future.

Introduction to Leap Wallet

Leap is an advanced 'super wallet' for the Cosmos ecosystem, with the goal of providing a top-notch user experience tailored for Cosmos users. Available as mobile apps for iOS and Android and as a browser extension, Leap allows you to explore Neutron and over 50 other Cosmos ecosystem chains. Users can transfer and exchange assets between wallets, earn staking rewards, participate in governance, transfer assets over IBC, manage NFTs, and much more, all from within the wallet app.

Introduction to Neutron

Neutron is a cross-chain smart-contracting platform. It addresses the main three challenges faced by multichain protocol hubs: lack of security, lack of credible neutrality and ecosystem alignment, and lack of cross-chain infrastructure. Doing so, it enables developers to deploy application once and scale them across the entire IBC network of interconnected blockchains without having to deploy or maintain multiple custom versions of their protocol.
