Create a Wallet
To begin your PacificSwap experience, the first essential step is setting up a wallet that supports Manta Pacific (MANTA). These wallets are accessible on both desktop computers and smartphones. Be sure to select the wallet that aligns best with your specific requirements.
When you're setting up a wallet, be sure to:
✅ Download and install only the latest version from an official source.
✅ Follow the setup guide carefully.
✅ Safely back up your recovery phrases.
❌ NEVER share your recovery phrases with anyone, under any circumstances.
❌ NEVER input your recovery phrase to a website or app, other than your wallet app.
Choosing Between Mobile and Desktop Wallets
Both mobile device wallets and desktop-based wallets offer distinct advantages and drawbacks. To make an informed decision about which type of wallet suits you best, carefully consider your specific needs and preferences.

Absolutely, it's crucial to remember this important security rule: Never, under any circumstances, should you share your private key or recovery phrase (also known as a "seed phrase"). Doing so would grant someone complete access to your cryptocurrency holdings.
It's reassuring to know that the authentic PacificSwap website and team will never request you to input your seed phrase. This is a strong indication of their commitment to user security. Always exercise caution and be vigilant about protecting your private keys and seed phrases.
