&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Neue Seite&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;img  width: 750px;  iframe.movie  width: 750px; height: 450px; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Pontem wallet setup and usage guide for beginners&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Pontem wallet extension setup and usage guide&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Download the latest release package for your browser (Chromium or Firefox) directly from the verified source repository. Check the provided SHA-256 checksum against the file after extraction. Open the browser’s extension management page (e.g., chrome://extensions), enable “Developer mode,” and load the unpacked folder. After installation, pin the extension to your toolbar for quick access.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;When launched, you must choose between generating a new cryptographic identity or recovering an existing one via a secret seed phrase. For a fresh identity, click the creation option. The interface will immediately present 12 words–write these down manually on paper, store them in a fireproof safe, and never type them into any web form, text file, or screenshot. After confirming the words in the correct order, set a local password (minimum 8 characters, mix of uppercase, numbers, and symbols) to encrypt the stored keys on your device.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;To operate on the target chain, you must configure the network endpoint. Open settings and locate “Network Management.” The default connection points to the public RPC node of the mainnet. For faster interaction or to reduce server load, paste a dedicated RPC URL from a reliable third-party provider (e.g., Blast API or OnFinality) into the custom field. Ensure the chain identifier matches the intended environment–do not mix mainnet with testnet identifiers, or transactions will fail silently.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Before transferring any fungible assets, acquire a minimal amount of the native coin (e.g., 0.01 of the base unit) from a centralized exchange or a faucet. This token is required to pay “gas” for all operations. Use the “Receive” button to copy your address–a long string starting with “0x” or a similar prefix depending on the network. Always send a test amount first (less than 0.1 native coin) to verify the destination, then confirm the transaction hash on a block explorer like Subscan or Moonscan before proceeding with larger sums.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For daily interaction with decentralized applications (dApps), the extension includes a built-in dApp browser or a “Connect” button on supported web interfaces. Click the extension icon, select “Connect,” and approve the connection request from the site. Review the requested permissions–avoid signing blindly when a dApp asks for permission to “sign any transaction” indefinitely. Instead, enable per-connection approval prompts in the extension settings so each session requires your explicit consent.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Pontem Wallet Setup and Usage Guide for Beginners&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Download the official extension exclusively from the Chrome Web Store or the Firefox Add-ons site, verifying the developer as “Pontem Technologies” and checking the total user count (over 100,000) to avoid malicious clones. After installation, pin the extension to your toolbar, click it, and select “Create a new vault.” Write down the 12-word recovery phrase on paper, store it in a fireproof safe, and never enter it into any website or take a digital photo of it. Confirm the phrase by selecting the words in the correct order on the next screen, then set a strong password–at least 12 characters mixing uppercase, numbers, and symbols–to protect local access.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Once inside, you manage multiple accounts (meaning blockchain-specific identities tied to that vault). By default, you start on Aptos mainnet–switch to “Testnet” in the top-left dropdown for experimentation without risking real tokens. To receive tokens, click “Receive,” copy the address starting with “0x,” and share it with a sender; to send, click “Send,” paste the recipient address (double-check the first and last 5 characters), enter the amount, and confirm the gas fee–typically 0.001 APT for a standard transaction. Under “Settings,” enable “Auto-lock” after 5 minutes of inactivity and toggle “Use Ledger” only if you connect a hardware device for cold storage.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For security, never share your private key (found under “Account details” &amp;gt; “Export private key”)–this grants full control. Practice first by bridging test APT from the Aptos faucet at faucet.staging.aptoslabs.com. If a dApp requests a signature, always read the transaction details in the pop-up; deny it if the request is for “approve infinite” or an unknown contract. The built-in swap feature inside the interface uses Liquidswap–confirm slippage tolerance (set 0.5% for stable pairs, 2% for volatile tokens) before confirming any trade. Regularly check your connected sites list under “Settings” and revoke any you no longer use.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Action&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Location in Interface&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Critical Check&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Backup recovery phrase&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Settings → Security → Reveal seed&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Never type it online&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Switch blockchain network&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Top-left dropdown menu&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Aptos mainnet for real value; Testnet for practice&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;View transaction history&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Activity tab&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Confirm status: “Success” for finality&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Export private key&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Account details → Export private key&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Store offline in an encrypted container&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Downloading and Installing the Pontem Wallet Browser Extension&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Open Chrome or a Chromium-based browser like Brave, Edge, or Opera. Navigate directly to the Chrome Web Store. In the search bar at the top left, type “Pontem” and press Enter. The official listing will appear first; check that the publisher is “Pontem Network” and that it has a verified publisher badge. Click “Add to Chrome” and then “Add extension” in the pop-up window.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;After installation, locate the puzzle piece icon in your browser’s top-right toolbar. Click it, then pin the new extension to your toolbar by clicking the pin icon next to its name. This ensures the icon stays visible for quick access. If the icon is missing, go to your browser’s extension menu and toggle it on under “Manage extensions.”&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For Firefox users, the process is identical but done through the Firefox Add-ons Store. Search for the identical listing, ensure the developer is verified, and click “Add to Firefox.” Grant the requested permissions–these are necessary for the extension to read blockchain data and sign transactions. No personal data is collected.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Once installed, click the pinned icon to open the extension interface. You will be presented with two options: “Create a New Vault” or “Import Existing Vault.” For a fresh start, choose the first option. The extension will generate a 12-word recovery phrase–write this down on paper, store it in a safe place, and never type it into any website. Confirm the phrase by selecting the words in the correct order to complete creation.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;If you already possess a seed phrase from another application, select “Import Existing Vault” and paste or type the 12 words exactly as given, with spaces between each. The extension will scan the phrase and reconstruct your accounts. Test this by sending a small test transaction to a secondary address before moving larger balances.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Post-installation, verify the extension’s version by clicking the three dots in the top-right corner of the pop-up and selecting “Settings.” The version number should match the latest release listed on the official GitHub repository or the Chrome Web Store listing page. Updates are handled automatically by the browser, but you can manually check by going to chrome://extensions, enabling “Developer mode,” and clicking “Update.”&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For compatibility with the Aptos blockchain, ensure your browser is updated to version 110 or later. Older versions lack the necessary WebAssembly support for transaction signing. If you encounter a “WebAssembly not supported” error, update your browser immediately from its official website.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;To confirm the installation is functional, click the extension icon and look for a green dot next to the network name (default is “Mainnet”). If the dot is red or gray, click the network dropdown and switch to “Mainnet” manually. Then, copy your public address from the top of the interface and visit a test faucet like the Aptos Testnet Faucet–paste your address and request test tokens. If tokens appear within 60 seconds, the extension is ready for active use.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Creating a New Wallet and Securing Your Seed Phrase&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Use the “Create New” option on the initial screen, not the “Import” function, to generate a fresh cryptographic identity. The software will ask you to set a strong password–use 16+ characters mixing upper case, lower case, digits, and special symbols. This password protects local access to your interface, but it is not the recovery key for your funds.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;After setting the password, the application will display a sequence of 12 or 24 words. This is your private seed phrase, the single key that controls all your accounts. Write it down manually on paper using a pen–never store it in a text file, screenshot, cloud service, or email. A physical backup isolates your key from online threats.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Print the phrase on acid-free paper or engrave it on a metal plate to resist fire and water damage.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Verify each word’s spelling and order three times against the on-screen display before confirming.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Store the backup in a fireproof safe or a bank safety deposit box, not in your desk drawer.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Once you confirm the seed phrase by selecting the missing words in the correct order, the interface generates your first address. Your balance on that address is zero until you receive a transfer. Do not share the seed phrase with any website, support agent, or “recovery service” – legitimate entities never ask for it.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;If you lose the password, you can restore access using the seed phrase.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;If you lose the seed phrase, no one can [https://extension-start.io/pontem-recovery-guide.php Recover Pontem Wallet] your assets.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Test the recovery process by reinstalling the software on a separate device and entering your written phrase.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Phrase security means keeping it offline and locked away. A hardware security module (like a USB cold storage device) can store your keys for daily transactions without exposing the seed text to the internet. Without such a device, use a dedicated computer that never connects to the internet to generate and record the phrase.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For additional protection, create a passphrase (a 25th word) and append it to your seed phrase. This creates a completely different set of accounts. You must remember both the 24 words and the passphrase–losing either one loses access. Store the passphrase separately from the main seed backup.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Do not type the seed phrase into any digital device during regular use. Only enter it when restoring from scratch on a clean device. If a pop-up or app asks for your seed words in any other scenario, close it immediately–it is a phishing attempt.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Q&amp;amp;A:  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;I downloaded Pontem wallet, but I’m stuck on the first screen. Do I need to create a new wallet, or can I use one I already have from Metamask or another app?&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;You can do either. Pontem is a non-custodial wallet, so you have full control, and you are not forced to start from scratch. If you have an existing Ethereum or Aptos wallet (like from MetaMask, Petra, or a hardware wallet like Ledger), Pontem lets you import it. Look for the &amp;quot;Import Wallet&amp;quot; option on the setup screen. You will need your seed phrase (the 12 or 24-word recovery phrase) from that old wallet. If you want a brand new account, choose &amp;quot;Create New Wallet.&amp;quot; Pontem will generate a new seed phrase for you, which you must write down and store safely. Never share this phrase with anyone. After that, you set a password to lock the app on your device. This password is local—it only protects the app on your phone or browser, not your blockchain account.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;I see two networks in Pontem: Aptos and EVM. What is the difference, and which one do I use to buy an NFT on the Pontem marketplace?&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Pontem is a multi-chain wallet, meaning it can manage accounts on different blockchains. The &amp;quot;Aptos&amp;quot; network is for the Aptos blockchain, which is a separate Layer 1 network using the Move programming language. The &amp;quot;EVM&amp;quot; network is for Ethereum-compatible chains (like Polygon, BNB Chain, or Ethereum itself). The Pontem NFT marketplace operates on the Aptos network. So, you need to be on the Aptos network to buy, sell, or mint NFTs there. To do this, you need some APT (Aptos blockchain) tokens to pay for transaction fees. You can get APT by purchasing it on a centralized exchange (like Binance or Coinbase) and withdrawing it to your Pontem Aptos wallet address, or by swapping other tokens inside the wallet if they are available on the Aptos chain. Make sure the network selector at the top of the wallet screen says &amp;quot;Aptos&amp;quot; before you try to connect to the marketplace.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;I tried to send some APT tokens to a friend, but the transaction failed and it said &amp;quot;Insufficient gas.&amp;quot; I have APT in my wallet. What went wrong?&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The &amp;quot;Insufficient gas&amp;quot; error means you did not have enough APT tokens left to pay the network transaction fee. Even though you have APT in your wallet, the fee is paid in APT, not in a separate token. Think of it like mailing a package: you have the gift (the tokens you want to send), but you also need money for the postage stamp (the gas fee). When you tried to send your entire APT balance, the wallet could not deduct the fee because there were no leftover APT coins. The solution is to always keep a small amount of APT in your wallet for fees. For example, if you want to send 100 APT, make sure you have at least 100.1 or 100.2 APT in total. The wallet should show you the estimated fee before you confirm the transaction. Adjust the send amount to leave a tiny reserve for that fee. Pontem also allows you to set a higher gas price for faster confirmation, but default settings are usually fine for normal transfers.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;What is the &amp;quot;Pontem DApp Browser&amp;quot; inside the wallet for? Is it safe to use on random websites?&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The Pontem DApp Browser is a built-in web browser that lets you connect your wallet directly to decentralized applications (DApps) like the Pontem Liquidswap exchange, NFT marketplaces, or other Aptos-based games. The wallet browser works just like Chrome or Safari, but it has a special feature: when you open a DApp, Pontem will prompt you to &amp;quot;connect&amp;quot; your wallet to that site. This allows the app to see your public address and ask you to sign transactions. As for safety, you should treat it like any other web browser. If you visit a fake or malicious website, you could be tricked into signing a bad transaction that drains your wallet. Only use the browser to visit official URLs from projects you trust (like the official pontem.network site, or well-known apps listed in the Pontum ecosystem section). Do not click on random links in Telegram or Twitter promising free tokens. The browser is a tool; your caution is your real security.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;I want to stake my APT tokens to earn rewards, but I do not see a &amp;quot;Stake&amp;quot; button. Where do I find staking inside the Pontem wallet?&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Pontem wallet itself does not have a built-in staking feature directly on the main wallet screen. Staking is handled through the Pontem Liquidswap DApp (which is a separate application) or through the Aptos network's native staking system. Here is how you can stake using Pontem: (1) Open the Pontem DApp Browser inside the wallet. (2) Navigate to the official Pontem DApp portal or go directly to the Liquidswap website. (3) Look for a &amp;quot;Staking&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Liquid Staking&amp;quot; option. Liquid staking allows you to deposit APT and receive a liquid staking token (like stAPT) in return. This token can be used in other DeFi activities while still earning staking rewards. Alternatively, you can stake APT directly on the Aptos network by going to a validator dashboard (like the one on aptoscan.com) through the browser. You connect your wallet, choose a validator, and delegate your APT. The rewards will appear in your wallet over time. Pontem will show you these transaction confirmations and your balances, but the staking action itself happens on the DApp websites.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;I just downloaded the Pontem wallet extension. During the initial setup, it gave me a seed phrase. Is it safe to just copy and paste this into a text file on my computer to save it?&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;That is a very common question for anyone new to wallets like Pontem. The short answer is you should *never* store your seed phrase digitally if you can avoid it. No matter how careful you are, any text file, screenshot, cloud storage (like Google Drive or iCloud), or even a password manager is a potential target for malware, hackers, or a device failure. The only safe place for it is offline. Write the 12 or 24 words down on paper using a pen. Some people use metal engraving tools on steel plates, which is fireproof and waterproof. Keep that piece of paper in a safe place, like a safety deposit box or a locked drawer. If someone gets access to that digital file, they can take all your cryptocurrency. Pontem explicitly warns you during setup to never share this phrase with anyone. Treat that piece of paper like the key to a vault.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;I connected my Pontem wallet to a website to trade some tokens. Now the site is asking me to &amp;quot;sign&amp;quot; a transaction, but the message is full of complex code I don't understand. Should I just click &amp;quot;Approve&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Sign&amp;quot;?&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;This is one of the situations where beginners can lose their entire wallet balance. You should never sign a transaction message that you don't fully understand. When you &amp;quot;sign&amp;quot; a transaction, you are granting the application permission to move your assets or access your wallet. A simple token transfer is usually straightforward (e.g., &amp;quot;Send 10 USDC to address X&amp;quot;). However, scammers will often write complex contract interactions. A malicious contract might look innocent but actually contain code to drain all your tokens the moment you sign it. A good rule of thumb for Pontem, or any Aptos wallet, is to only sign transactions that you initiated yourself. If you are using a decentralized exchange (DEX) to swap tokens, the approval request should clearly show the amount and the contract address of the DEX. If the request is from a random pop-up you didn't ask for, or if the text is technical gibberish, close the browser tab immediately. You can check the website's URL (make sure it's the real site) and look for community warnings on social media or Discord. If there is any doubt, do not sign.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
