Creating a New Aura Network Wallet with Leap
Follow these simple steps to create your first Aura Network wallet:
Step 1: Download the Extension
First, download the Leap Wallet browser extension.

Step 2: Choose "Create a New Wallet"
When you open the extension, you'll see three options:
Create a new wallet
Import an existing Cosmostation or Keplr wallet
Import using a seed phrase
Select "Create a new wallet" to start fresh.

Step 3: Secure Your Seed Phrase
You'll be shown a seed phrase. This is extremely important - write it down and store it somewhere safe and secure. Never share this seed phrase with anyone.
Note: This seed phrase is your only way to recover your wallet if you lose access. Leap cannot help you recover your wallet if you lose this phrase.

Step 4: Verify Your Seed Phrase
Add the missing words from the seed phrase you've noted down. This extra step ensures you've properly recorded your recovery phrase.

Step 5: Create a Password
Create a strong password to encrypt your wallet. Make sure it's something you'll remember.

Step 6: Access Your Wallet
Your wallet is now ready! Access it by clicking on the Leap Wallet icon in your browser's toolbar. If you can't find it, look for the "puzzle piece" icon to see all installed extensions, then pin Leap Wallet to your toolbar.

Step 7: Start Using Aura Network
You can now manage your assets and interact with the Aura Network, including staking $AURA tokens.
