# Keplr Wallet
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Keplr browser extension is a wallet for accessing some Jackal applications in the [Cosmos ecosystem](https://cosmos.network/). Keplr can be used to exchange/manage JKL and other Cosmos-based tokens, participate in governance from the [Jackal Dashboard](/docs/using-jackal/dashboard.md), and use Jackal Storage.
|
|
|
|
To use Jackal applications with a __high privacy and security posture__, create a new [Jackal Wallet](/docs/using-jackal/wallet/jackalwallet.md) or import private keys into a Jackal Wallet.
|
|
|
|
## Set up Keplr
|
|
More information about setting up a Keplr wallet can be found in the official [Keplr Documentation](https://docs.keplr.app/).
|
|
|
|
Open the Keplr extension on your browser. If you are setting up Keplr for the first time, you can either __create a new account__ or __import an existing account__.
|
|
|
|
## Create a new account
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to create a new Keplr account:
|
|
|
|
__Most Secure__
|
|
- Mnemonic/seed phrase.
|
|
|
|
__Easiest__
|
|
- One-click login.
|
|
|
|
### Create an account with a Seed Phrase
|
|
|
|
1. In the initial pop-up window, choose Create New Account
|
|
- If you have used Keplr before, click on the silhouette in the upper-right corner, then the blue box labeled __Add Account__, and select __Create New Account__.
|
|
|
|
2. Choose to have a seed/mnemonic phrase of 24 words, and save the phrase.
|
|
- You can change the derivation path by clicking on Advanced, but this is optional [learn more in the Keplr FAQ](https://faq.keplr.app/)
|
|
|
|
3. Enter a name for your account. This can be changed later.
|
|
|
|
4. Once you have transcribed your 24 word seed/mnemonic phrase, click on __Next__
|
|
|
|
5. To confirm the creation of the new account, click on the words on the right order in which they appear in your seed/mnemonic phrase, and press __Register__.
|
|
|
|
5. If you have not used Keplr before, set a password for the Keplr extension, and click __Confirm__.
|
|
|
|
### Import an existing account
|
|
|
|
There are several ways to import an existing account:
|
|
|
|
- via a __mnemonic/seed phrase/private key__.
|
|
- via __ledger__.
|
|
|
|
__Import with a Seed Phrase__
|
|
|
|
1. In the initial pop-up window, choose Import Existing Account
|
|
If you have used Keplr before, click on the silhouette in the upper-right corner, then the blue box labeled __Add Account__, and select __Import Existing Account__.
|
|
|
|
2. Enter your mnemonic/seed phrase/private key in the appropriate slot, seperating the words with spaces and make sure to check they are spelled correctly.
|
|
|
|
3. Make sure you have imported the account with the correct derivation path, viewable by clicking on __Advanced__.
|
|
|
|
- Normally, the derivation path should be m/44'/…’/0/0/0, but if you see that importing the account via mnemonic on Keplr, the Cosmos Mainnet address displayed is different than yours, it is possible the derivation path ends with 1 (or another number) instead of 0.
|
|
|
|
- If this is the case, you just have to start the process over, and replace the last 0 with 1
|
|
|
|
- Learn more in the [Keplr FAQ](https://faq.keplr.app/)
|
|
|
|
4. If you have not used Keplr before, set a password for the Keplr extension, and click __Confirm__.
|
|
|
|
__Import with Ledger__
|
|
1. In the initial pop-up window, choose Import Ledger.
|
|
- If you have used Keplr before, click on the silhouette in the upper-right corner, then the blue box labeled __Add Account__, and select __Import Ledger__.
|
|
|
|
2. To complete the connection with your Ledger Nano Hard Wallet, follow the steps described in the pop-up that appears. A detailed tutorial can be found [here](https://medium.com/chainapsis/how-to-use-ledger-nano-hardware-wallet-with-keplr-9ea7f07826c2).
|
|
|
|
3. If you have not used Keplr before, set a password for the Keplr extension, and click __Confirm__.
|
|
|
|
## Connecting Keplr to the Jackal Protocol
|
|
Once you are signed in to the Keplr extension, you can connect the wallet with the Jackal Protocol. Once on the __Jackal Dashboard__ you will be prompted to connect your Keplr wallet. |
