Creating A Wallet
To get started in the Telos ecosystem you’ll need a cryptocurrency wallet. A wallet allows you to securely store your assets and interact with dApps (Decentralized Applications) within the Telos ecosystem.
Wallet Options
We will be going over three different options for wallets on Telos. Each wallet is recommended based on your experience and comfort level with crypto.
Telos Cloud Wallet (Telos EVM and Telos Zero)
Telos Cloud Wallet is incredibly easy to use and lets you create a wallet with your existing Google account. Because of its ease of use and the fact that it is compatible with both Telos EVM and Telos Zero, we recommend it to all new users and beginers.
MetaMask (Telos EVM)
MetaMask is an industry-standard and is used across all EVMs. If you have experience in crypto or already use MetaMask, then this is a great option for you.
Anchor (Telos Zero)
Anchor is the most popular wallet signer for Telos Zero. If you are more advanced in your crypto knowledge or want to take full advantage of the power that Telos has, this is a great option for you.
