How to use FRWT: Non-custodial Crypto Wallet

Feb 7, 2024

Setting an Account with FRWT

The correct links to download the FRWT mobile app or browser extension are available on our website. Follow these steps to get started with FRWT:

Download the app, install it on your device, and open it.

If you already have a FRWT wallet, you will need to enter the mnemonic phrase associated with the wallet to access it on your current device.

If you do not have a wallet, you can create a new one. Begin by setting a 6-digit PIN and confirming it. You also have the option to set a passcode instead of a PIN or choose a 4-digit PIN. To select either of these options, simply click on the Passcode option button in the initial PIN setup window. Once the PIN is set, you will be directed to the homepage, where you can enable push notifications from FRWT via a popup window. You can manage these notifications on the Notifications page within the Account section.

Immediately visible in the top section of the app is a warning indicating that the wallet is not backed up. Click on this notification to generate a 15-word mnemonic phrase. It is crucial to store this phrase in a secure location, preferably offline, as it will be essential for accessing your wallet on any device where you open the FRWT app. Please remember that without the mnemonic phrase, you will be unable to access your wallet when switching devices.

At the bottom of the app window, there is a section menu. In the Account section, you can activate a dark theme under General/Appearance. Additionally, in the General page of the Account section, you can obtain your wallet addresses for various cryptocurrencies.

Safeguarding the Wallet

Ensuring the safety of your funds with FRWT, a non-custodial wallet, largely hinges on safeguarding your mnemonic phrase, a string of 15 words unique for each user. Whenever you access your wallet from a new device, entering your mnemonic phrase is obligatory.

Storing the mnemonic phrase online is less secure compared to writing it down on paper. It is advisable to use multiple storage methods simultaneously. Access to your mnemonic phrase grants access to your funds, while a PIN is solely associated with a specific device and must be set up again when accessing your wallet from a new device.

To set your mnemonic phrase, navigate to the Account section at the bottom of the window and select the Security subsection. Click on Wallet Backup to view your mnemonic phrase. Moreover, in the Security section, you can enable biometric sign-in, set daily spending limits, or change your PIN.

Connecting FRWT to dApps

Linking FRWT to dApps is remarkably straightforward. Simply access the Account menu and select WalletConnect. Activate the QR reader by choosing New Connection, then scan the dApp’s QR code to establish the connection between your FRWT and the dApp.
