Introduction:

An #Injective Wallet is a crucial tool for navigating the world of Injective and its associated applications within the #DeFi ecosystem. This guide outlines the process of setting up an Injective Wallet, which grants users the ability to effortlessly manage native tokens on the Injective platform and bridged assets from various supported networks like Ethereum, Polkadot, Solana, and IBC-enabled chains.

Step 1: Download a Non-Custodial Crypto Wallet To initiate the creation of an Injective Wallet, you must first download a non-custodial crypto wallet that is compatible with the Injective platform. As of now, the following wallets are supported: MetaMask, Keplr, Ledger, Trezor, Torus, Leap, and Cosmostation.

Step 2: Connect Your Wallet to Injective For the purposes of this tutorial, we'll outline how to connect using MetaMask, Keplr, Leap, Cosmostation, Ledger, Torus, and Trezor.

  1. MetaMask:

  • #MetaMask , a widely-used self-custodial wallet, provides access to Ethereum wallets via browser extensions or a mobile app.

  • Upon connecting MetaMask, an INJ wallet address will be assigned. This address can be found in the top right corner of the page.

  • You can also view the equivalent Ethereum address by expanding the address details.

  1. #Keplr :

  • Keplr is a non-custodial wallet designed to support the IBC and Cosmos ecosystem.

  • Once connected, your Injective wallet address will be displayed in the top right corner.

  1. #Leap :

  • Leap serves as a wallet for Cosmos blockchains, offering features like chain exploration, asset transfers, and staking rewards.

  1. Cosmostation:

  • Cosmostation, a non-custodial wallet for Cosmos SDK-based chains, is powered by the Cosmostation validator and ecosystem provider.

  1. Ledger:

  • Ledger is a hardware wallet that offers heightened security by storing private keys offline.

  • Ensure you have the latest Ethereum app version and blind signing enabled on the Ethereum app before connecting.

  • After connecting your Ledger device, select "Ledger Live" as the default option for the derivation path and then click "Get addresses."

  • Choose your Ledger Live ETH address from the dropdown list to connect.

  1. Torus:

  • Torus is a non-custodial wallet that simplifies wallet creation through social account integration (Google, Facebook, Twitter, Discord, or email).

  • Select your preferred social account to log in and obtain your Injective wallet address.

  1. Trezor:

  • Trezor, similar to Ledger, is a hardware wallet providing secure storage for crypto assets.

  • Before connecting your Trezor to Injective Hub, ensure you have the latest Chrome version, your Trezor device connected and unlocked, and Trezor Bridge installed.

  • Connect your Trezor device, choose your Standard Wallet or Hidden Wallet (with secret passphrase), and connect to the Hub by selecting your Ethereum address from the dropdown list.

Conclusion: Creating an Injective Wallet is a straightforward process that involves downloading a compatible crypto wallet and connecting it to Injective using the Injective Hub. By establishing an Injective Wallet, users gain control over native tokens and bridged assets across various networks, facilitating their seamless participation in the DeFi ecosystem.
