How to Create a New Wallet?

Last updated: 12/24/2025

KuCoin Web3 Wallet is a non-custodial Web3 wallet, meaning you have full control over your assets, private keys, and seed phrase. After downloading the KuCoin Web3 Wallet browser extension, you can create a new wallet in just a few steps.

This guide walks you through how to create a new wallet and explains how to properly back up your seed phrase, which is essential for wallet security.

Step 1: Create a Wallet

  1. Open the KuCoin Web3 Wallet extension.
  2. Select Create New Wallet
  3. Set a password to protect access to your wallet on this device

Step 2: Back Up Your Seed Phrase (Important)

After creating your wallet, you will be shown a recovery phrase (also known as a seed phrase), typically consisting of 12 or 24 English words.

Why this matters:

  • The seed phrase is the only way to restore your wallet
  • If it is lost, KuCoin Web3 Wallet cannot recover your assets
  • Anyone with access to your seed phrase can fully control your wallet

Backup recommendations:

  • Write the seed phrase down on paper
  • Store it in a secure, offline location
  • Do not take screenshots or store it in cloud services
  • Never share it with anyone

Once you confirm your seed phrase, your wallet setup is complete.
