# How to prepare a wallet

<figure><img src="/files/JfPqbRmbqYamRyBX9BXS" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To use WEMIX Stake, an encrypted wallet is required to interact with the WEMIX3.0 blockchain network and store information securely. The password and recovery phrase (seed phrase) set during wallet creation must be recorded and stored in a safe location.

{% hint style="warning" %}

#### Security Notice

Loss or exposure of the recovery phrase to third parties may result in permanent loss of access to wallet assets. Never share the recovery phrase with anyone under any circumstances.
{% endhint %}

* When launching Metamask for the first time, there are two options: importing an existing wallet or creating a new wallet.

### 2. Set password <a href="#id-2.-set-password" id="id-2.-set-password"></a>

* Create a new password and agree to the Terms of use. If you do not agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy you will not be able to create a new wallet.

### 3. Check secret recovery phrase <a href="#id-3.-check-secret-recovery-phrase-1" id="id-3.-check-secret-recovery-phrase-1"></a>

<figure><img src="https://docs.wemix.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.gitbook.com%2Fcontent%2FNMiovvDJVxE2QuZzyXvT%2Fblobs%2FXy99hbVgNJruyosI2CWm%2Fcreate_wallet_5.png&#x26;width=768&#x26;dpr=4&#x26;quality=100&#x26;sign=4e28c3df&#x26;sv=1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<figure><img src="https://docs.wemix.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.gitbook.com%2Fcontent%2FNMiovvDJVxE2QuZzyXvT%2Fblobs%2FjwWcWX7ULlJzUJWiTf8D%2Fcreate_wallet_6.png&#x26;width=768&#x26;dpr=4&#x26;quality=100&#x26;sign=873d9ef3&#x26;sv=1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* After successfully creating a new password, you can check the randomly generated secret recovery phrase. It is noted to not share this vital information with anybody else. If you lose your secret phrase, you cannot recover your wallet.
* Confirm your secret recovery phrase by selecting on the words in the correct sequence to complete the process. Once the secret recovery phrase has been verified, you would have successfully created a new wallet.

### 4. Ready to use the wallet <a href="#id-4.-ready-to-use-the-wallet-1" id="id-4.-ready-to-use-the-wallet-1"></a>

<figure><img src="https://docs.wemix.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.gitbook.com%2Fcontent%2FNMiovvDJVxE2QuZzyXvT%2Fblobs%2FlOBLYMGzOQ8om4Np2bkX%2Fcreate_wallet_7.png&#x26;width=768&#x26;dpr=4&#x26;quality=100&#x26;sign=44e6b2c0&#x26;sv=1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* After completing all the steps, you can use your newly created wallet.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.wemix.com/wemixstake-en/guides/getting-started/how-to-create-wallet.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
