Set Up Your Wallet in 5 Steps

From download to your first trade — here is exactly how to get started with the Backpack app and self-custody wallet.

Create Your Account

Go to the Backpack website and click Create Free Account. Enter your email or phone number, set a password, and verify via the confirmation link or SMS code. Registration takes under two minutes and requires Regional availability varies.

Create Free Account

Use a strong, unique password and enable two-factor authentication after signing up for extra security.

Download the App

Download Backpack from the Apple App Store for iOS, Google Play for Android, or the Chrome Web Store for the browser extension. Install the app on your device and open it when installation completes.

Only download from official stores. Avoid third-party APKs or links from unverified sources.

Sign In to Your Account

Open the Backpack app and sign in using the email and password you created in step one. Your account syncs across all devices, so your portfolio, watchlist, and settings stay consistent everywhere you log in.

Enable biometric login (Face ID / fingerprint) during sign-in for faster, more secure access.

Set Up Your Wallet

Go to the Wallet tab and select Create New Wallet. You will receive a 12-to-24 word recovery phrase — write it down offline and store it securely. Confirm the phrase, set a PIN, and your self-custody wallet is ready to receive, hold, and swap crypto.

Your recovery phrase is the only way to restore your wallet. Never share it, never store it online, and Backpack can never recover it for you.

Start Trading & Managing Assets

Fund your wallet by receiving crypto from another wallet or exchange. Use the app to buy, swap, and manage 200+ cryptocurrencies, view your NFT gallery, and trade on the built-in exchange — all from one secure self-custody wallet.

Start with a small test transaction to confirm your wallet is working before transferring larger amounts.
