3. You will be shown a seed phrase. Make sure to save this phrase in a safe and secure location, as it is the only way to recover your wallet. Do not share this phrase with anyone. The seed phrase shown below is for demo purposes.
4. Add the missing words from the secret recovery phrase you have noted down with you. We have enabled this extra step to ensure you write your secret recovery phase with yourself on a piece of paper. Note: We won’t be able to help you recover the wallet if you lost your seed phrase.
5. Your wallet is now set up and ready to use. You can now use your Leap wallet to access your assets and interact with the Celestia Network & use $TIA to explore Cosmos ecosystem using Leap dApp browser.
