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 two different options for wallets on Telos. Each wallet is recommended based on your experience and comfort level with crypto.

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.
