Step-by-step beginner guide
- Download the wallet — Get Neptune Wallet from the official GitHub releases (see below). Verify the download matches the published checksum.
- Create a new wallet — Launch the app and follow the setup wizard to create a new wallet file.
- Back up your recovery phrase — Write it down on paper and store it somewhere safe. If you lose this, your funds cannot be recovered.
- Get NPT (Neptune Cash) — Get NPT from an exchange (see below) or earn it by mining.
- Withdraw to your wallet — Always move funds from the exchange to your personal wallet for long-term storage. Exchanges can be hacked or freeze accounts.
- Send a small test transaction first — Before sending a large amount, verify everything works with a small test. Mistakes in crypto can be permanent.
