Заголовок: Safepal wallet extension download and setup guide
Описание: Download and install the Safepal Wallet browser extension. This guide provides clear steps to set up your wallet, import or create an account, and start managing your crypto assets securely.
Install and Configure the Safepal Wallet Browser Extension Step by Step

Get the Safepal Wallet extension directly from the official Chrome Web Store. This is the only source you should use to avoid fake software. Search for "Safepal Wallet" and confirm the developer is listed as "Safepal," then click "Add to Chrome." The installation finishes in seconds, adding the distinctive blue-and-orange Safepal icon to your browser's toolbar.


Click that new icon to begin. You will see a clear choice: create a new wallet or import an existing one. For a fresh start, select "Create Wallet." The extension will then generate your unique 12-word secret recovery phrase. Write each word down in the exact order on paper. This phrase is your master key; storing it digitally or taking a screenshot creates unnecessary risk.


After securing your phrase, the wallet prompts you to verify it by selecting the words in sequence. This step ensures you have a correct backup. Once confirmed, you set a strong password specifically for accessing the extension from your browser. This password encrypts your local data, adding a daily-use security layer separate from your recovery phrase.


Your wallet is now active. Before sending any assets, explore the interface. You can add different blockchains like BNB Smart Chain or Polygon to view diverse tokens. Use the "Receive" button to find your public addresses for each network. For added security, connect your Safepal hardware wallet to the extension for transaction signing, keeping private keys completely offline while using the browser's convenient interface.

Finding and Verifying the Official Browser Extension

Go directly to the official SafePal website at safepal.com. On the homepage, select the 'Download' section from the main menu.


Choose the 'Browser Extension' option. Your browser will automatically be detected, presenting you with the correct version for Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. Click the download button only from this page.


Before installing, check the developer details in your browser's extension store. The official publisher must be listed as "SafePal download extension." Avoid any extensions published by unverified third parties.


Compare the extension's icon and description with those shown on the official SafePal website. Minor differences in logo design or wording can signal a fraudulent copy.


After installation, the extension will request permissions. The legitimate SafePal extension asks for access to view your browser activity; this is required to interact with decentralized applications. No other permissions should be necessary.


Your first action should be creating a new wallet or importing an existing one solely through the extension interface. Never enter your secret recovery phrase on any website prompted by the extension.

Installing the Add-on and Connecting Your Hardware Wallet

Open the Chrome Web Store or the official Safari Extensions gallery and search for "SafePal".


Click the "Add to Chrome" or "Add to Safari" button on the official SafePal Extension page. Confirm the installation when your browser prompts you. A new SafePal icon will appear in your browser's toolbar once the process finishes.


Click the SafePal icon to launch the extension. You will see a welcome screen with two clear options: "Create Wallet" and "Connect Wallet". Select "Connect Wallet" to link your hardware device.


Grab your SafePal S1 hardware wallet and turn it on. Use the provided USB cable to connect it directly to your computer. The extension will automatically detect the connected device.


Follow the instructions on both your hardware wallet screen and the browser extension. You will need to confirm the connection on your S1 device by physically pressing its button. This step ensures that only you can authorize the link.


After confirmation, the extension interface will refresh. You can now view your asset balances directly in the browser and initiate transactions, which will always require your manual approval on the S1 device for security.

Managing Assets and Configuring Network Settings

Begin by viewing your asset list on the main dashboard. The extension automatically displays tokens on networks you use, but you can manually add others. Click 'Add Token' and search for the token's contract address for accuracy, as names can be duplicated.


Organize your portfolio by hiding assets you do not regularly track. Find the 'Hide Tokens' or eye icon feature; this cleans your view without affecting your balance. You can always restore hidden assets from the same menu later.


Network settings are accessed through the wallet selection dropdown at the top. Select 'Manage Networks' to see the full list. SafePal supports dozens of networks like Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, and Polygon by default. Toggle the switch next to any network to enable or disable it in your main list.


For adding a custom network, perhaps for a new project or testnet, use the 'Add Custom Network' option. You will need specific details: Network Name, RPC URL, Chain ID, Currency Symbol, and Block Explorer URL. Always double-check these parameters with the project's official documentation to prevent loss of funds.


Adjust transaction fees on networks like Ethereum before sending. When you initiate a transfer, the extension provides fee options–Slow, Standard, Fast. You can also set a custom gas limit and gas price for more control, which is useful during network congestion.


Regularly verify that you are on the correct network for your intended action. A common mistake is trying to send an ERC-20 token while connected to the BNB Chain network. The extension clearly shows the active network next to your wallet address–confirm it before every transaction.

FAQ:
Is the Safepal extension a real product from the company? I only see info about their hardware wallet.

The Safepal browser extension is an official and legitimate software wallet created by Safepal. It is designed to work alongside their hardware wallet for secure transaction signing, but also functions perfectly as a standalone, free software wallet. You can always verify its authenticity by downloading it only from the official sources listed on the Safepal website or the Chrome Web Store.

Where do I get the extension to avoid fake versions?

To guarantee safety, obtain the extension from these official locations: 1) The Chrome Web Store (for Chromium browsers like Chrome, Brave, Edge). 2) The official Safepal website (safepal.com), which will direct you to the correct store page. Avoid third-party download links or websites. The official extension is published by the developer "Safepal Official."

What's the first thing I need to do after installing the extension?

After adding the extension, open it. You will be presented with two primary options: "Create Wallet" for a new wallet or "Import Wallet" if you have an existing seed phrase. For a new wallet, you must create a strong password for encrypting your local extension data and then, critically, write down the 12-word seed phrase shown on the next screen. This phrase is the only way to recover your funds.

I wrote down my seed phrase. What are the next steps to use the wallet?

After securing your seed phrase, you'll verify it by selecting the words in the correct order. The wallet will then initialize. You can now add cryptocurrency networks (like BNB Chain, Ethereum, Polygon) from the network menu. To receive funds, go to the "Asset" tab, choose a coin, click "Receive," and share your wallet address. To send funds, you'll need the recipient's address and will confirm the transaction with your password.

Can I connect the extension to a Safepal S1 hardware wallet later?

Yes, you can connect it at any time. In the extension, go to the settings menu and look for "Connect Hardware Wallet" or a similar option. Follow the instructions to pair your Safepal S1 device via Bluetooth. Once connected, you can use the extension to view your portfolio and initiate transactions, but every transaction must be physically approved and signed on the S1 device, which provides much stronger security.

Is the Safepal browser extension a separate wallet, and how does it connect to my hardware device?

The Safepal browser extension is not a standalone software wallet. It functions as a bridge or an interface that allows your Safepal hardware wallet (like the S1 or X1 models) to interact securely with decentralized applications (dApps) in your web browser. When you use the extension, you initiate transactions on a website, but the actual signing of those transactions happens on your physical hardware device. Your private keys never leave the secure element of the hardware wallet. This setup combines the security of cold storage with the convenience needed for interacting with Web3 platforms.

I downloaded the Safepal extension. What are the exact steps to link it with my existing wallet, and what recovery information do I need?

After adding the extension to your browser (Chrome or Brave), open it and select "Connect Hardware Wallet." You will need your physical Safepal device and its USB cable. The extension will guide you to unlock the hardware wallet using your PIN code on the device's screen. Once unlocked, you must confirm the connection request directly on the hardware wallet's display. To finalize the link, you will be asked to verify a one-time pairing code shown on both the extension pop-up and your hardware wallet screen. For this process, you do not need your secret recovery phrase. You only need the hardware device and its PIN. Your recovery phrase is only for wallet restoration if the hardware device is lost or reset and should never be entered into the browser extension or any computer.
