# How to Create a Wallet?

How to set up a non-custodial wallet:

**1.Download a wallet app.** Popular options include <https://coinpocket.io>             &#x20;

**2.Create your account.** Unlike a hosted wallet, you don’t need to share any personal info to create a non-custodial wallet. Not even an email address.

**3.Be sure to write down your private key.** It’s presented as a random 12-word phrase. Keep it in a secure location. If you lose or forget this 12-word phrase you won’t be able to access your crypto.<br>

**4.Transfer crypto to your wallet**. It’s not always possible to buy crypto using traditional currencies (like US dollars or Euros) with a non-custodial wallet, so you’ll need to transfer crypto into your non-custodial wallet from elsewhere.&#x20;
