Before staking, you must have DOT tokens in your wallet. Subwallet is a comprehensive Polkadot, Substrate & Ethereum wallet.

  • Download the Subwallet extension or app for iOS or Android here. You can also use the web dashboard

Create a new wallet or import an existing one.

  • Read and agree to the Terms of use. Click Continue

  • Create and confirm a secure password. Tick disclaimer and click Continue

  • Save your Recovery Phrase somewhere secure. You will need it to recover your account or log in on a different device. If you lose it, you will lose access to your funds! Please do not share this Secret Recovery Phrase with anyone; anyone with access to it will have access to your funds!

  • Copy your DOT address to fund your wallet.
