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.
Get Started with Safepal A Step-by-Step Browser Extension Installation and Setup

Download the Safepal Wallet extension directly from the official Chrome Web Store or the official Safepal website. This is the only source you should trust to avoid counterfeit software designed to steal your assets. The installation takes seconds; click "Add to Chrome" and confirm the addition to your browser toolbar.


Once installed, open the extension. You will see three clear options: create a new wallet, import an existing one using a seed phrase, or connect a hardware wallet. For a fresh start, choose "Create Wallet." The system will immediately generate a unique, 12-word mnemonic seed phrase for you. This phrase is your master key.


Write down each word of your seed phrase in the exact order on the provided recovery sheet. Store this physical copy in a secure location, away from digital cameras and online storage. The software will then ask you to verify the phrase by selecting the words in the correct sequence–a critical step to confirm your backup.


After verification, set a strong password for the extension itself. This password encrypts your wallet data locally on your device, adding a daily-use security layer. Your wallet is now active. Before funding it, explore the settings to configure transaction preferences and view your public wallet addresses for receiving assets.


For optimal security, pair your new software wallet with a Safepal Web3 wallet hardware device. This combination keeps your private keys completely offline during transactions. The extension seamlessly guides you through this pairing process, letting you manage assets with the convenience of a browser and the protection of cold storage.

Safepal Wallet Extension Download and Setup Tutorial

Open your Chrome, Edge, or Brave browser and visit the official Safepal website at safepal.com/download. This is the only source you should trust for the genuine extension to avoid fraudulent copies.


Click the button labeled "Download for Chrome" on the website. Your browser will redirect you to the Chrome Web Store listing for the Safepal Wallet Extension. Confirm the publisher is "Safepal" and click "Add to Chrome," then confirm the installation in the pop-up dialog.


Find the new Safepal icon in your browser's toolbar and click it to launch the setup. You will see two clear options: "Create Wallet" for a new user or "Import Wallet" if you already have a recovery phrase.


Select "Create Wallet." The extension will generate a unique 12-word mnemonic seed phrase for you. Write each word down in the exact order on the provided backup card or another physical medium. Never save this phrase digitally, as it grants full access to your funds.


You must verify your phrase on the next screen by selecting the words in the correct sequence. This step confirms you have a proper backup. After verification, establish a strong password specifically for the extension's local access.


Your wallet is now active. For added security, navigate to the extension's settings and activate the "Transaction Signing" feature. This requires manual confirmation for every outgoing transaction directly in the extension, providing a critical defense against malicious websites.


You can now connect to decentralized applications. When visiting a supported dApp, click the Safepal extension icon and then "Connect" to link your wallet. Always verify the connection request details and the website's URL to ensure you are on the correct application.

Downloading the Official Safepal Extension from the Chrome Web Store

Open your Chrome browser and navigate directly to the Chrome Web Store. Use the search bar at the top-left corner and type "Safepal Wallet".


Select the extension named "Safepal Wallet for Web3" and verify the developer is listed as "Safepal". This confirmation ensures you are installing the authentic software, not a fraudulent copy.


Click the blue "Add to Chrome" button on the extension's page. A confirmation dialog will appear, detailing the data the extension can access. Review these permissions, then click "Add extension" to proceed with the installation.


A new icon will appear in your browser's toolbar extension area. Look for the Safepal "S" logo. Once you see it, the download is complete and the extension is ready for setup.

Creating a New Wallet or Importing an Existing One

Choose "Create Wallet" if this is your first time using a crypto wallet.


The extension will generate a unique 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase for you. Write each word down in the exact order presented on a physical piece of paper. Never save this phrase digitally on a device connected to the internet.


You will then confirm your phrase by selecting the words in the correct sequence. This step verifies your backup.


Finally, set a strong, unique password for your SafePal extension. This password encrypts your wallet data locally on this browser and is required for sending assets.


Select "Import Wallet" if you already have a Secret Recovery Phrase from another wallet.


Enter your 12 or 24-word phrase carefully. Check for typos and ensure each word is separated by a single space.


After entering the phrase, set your local encryption password. Your imported wallet will then be accessible, with all your existing addresses and assets visible.


For hardware wallet users, connect your SafePal S1 device via the "Connect Hardware Wallet" option. Follow the on-screen prompts to sync it with the extension for secure transaction signing.

Connecting the Extension to DApps and Making a Test Transaction

Open your preferred DApp in a browser like Chrome or Brave. Look for a "Connect Wallet" button, usually in the top-right corner.


Click it and select SafePal from the list of wallet providers. A connection request will appear in your SafePal extension window.


Check the requested permissions, like the network and your public address.
Verify the website URL is correct to avoid phishing sites.
Click "Confirm" in the extension to establish the link.


Your wallet address will now appear on the DApp interface. For a first transaction, try a small token swap or a testnet transfer.


Choose a function like "Swap" on a decentralized exchange.
Select a small amount of a token you hold (BNB for BSC, MATIC for Polygon).
Review all details: the estimated fees, the minimum you'll receive, and the recipient address.
Click "Swap" or "Confirm." The extension will show a final transaction summary.


Examine the gas fee and total cost one last time in the SafePal pop-up. After you approve, the transaction submits to the network. You can track its status by clicking the notification or viewing it in the extension's "Activity" tab. Wait for a "Success" confirmation on the blockchain before considering the action complete.

FAQ:
Where can I safely download the Safepal Chrome extension?

The only official and safe source for the Safepal Wallet browser extension is the Chrome Web Store. You can find it by searching for "Safepal Wallet" directly within the store. Avoid downloading installation files (.crx or .zip) from third-party websites, forums, or links sent in private messages, as these could be modified to steal your recovery phrase and funds. Always verify the developer listed in the store is "Safepal" and check the number of users and reviews for added confidence.

I installed the extension. What's the difference between 'Create Wallet' and 'Import Wallet'?

Choose 'Create Wallet' if you are new to Safepal and need a new set of private keys. This will generate a new 12-word recovery phrase. You must write this phrase down on paper and store it securely; it is the only way to recover your wallet if you lose access. Never save it digitally. Select 'Import Wallet' if you already have a wallet from Safepal or another service (like Trust Wallet or MetaMask). You will need your existing 12 or 24-word recovery phrase or a private key to import your assets. This action does not create a new wallet; it gives you access to an existing one on a new device.

Do I need a Safepal hardware wallet to use the browser extension?

No, you do not need a hardware wallet. The Safepal browser extension can function as a standalone "software wallet." In this mode, your private keys are encrypted and stored on your computer's browser. For significantly greater security, you can connect a Safepal S1 or S1 Pro hardware device to the extension. When connected, all transaction signing happens on the secure hardware device, meaning your private keys never leave the physical wallet, even when interacting with websites. The extension then acts as an interface, while the hardware wallet provides the security.

After setup, my extension shows zero balance. Did I do something wrong?

Probably not. A zero balance usually means you are viewing the default network for an address that holds assets on a different blockchain. The extension, by default, might show the BNB Smart Chain or Ethereum network. If your funds are on Polygon, Arbitrum, or another network, you need to add that network to the extension's view. Go to the extension's main asset page, look for a network selector (often near the top), and add or switch to the correct network. Your tokens should appear if you are using the correct wallet address on the correct network. You can verify your address activity on a block explorer like BscScan or Etherscan.
