Downloading and Using MetaMask Wallet

Important Information:
MetaMask Wallet is an extension for your internet browser. We have included instructions for Chrome
browser below, although MetaMask can be used with a variety of browsers. Make sure you follow the
instructions carefully. Should you need assistance, email support@xyo.network for assistance.

Privacy and Protection:


Remember, a cryptowallet uses a “private key”, also known as a seed phrase”, which is the secret and
unique phrase that will let you access your wallet if you ever change phones, or log out of your account.
It’s very important you keep it private, because if someone has your private key, they can access your
wallet. This is different from the “public key”, which is needed to send and receive cryptocurrencies and
tokens. If you are receiving XYO Tokens from us, we will ask for your public key. However, XY will NEVER ask
for your private key.

1 Download the extension


You will need to download the MetaMask
Wallet Extension to begin. You can go to their
website, or download it directly from the
Google Chrome Web store.

MetaMask Website:
https://metamask.io/

Web Store Website:


https://chrome.google.com/webstore/de-
tail/metamask/nkbihfbeo-
gaeaoehlefnkodbefgpgknn

Add to Chrome Allow and Add Extension


Click “Add to Chrome” to use the extension. Click “Add Extension”. Metamask must be
allowed to access the websites you visit, in
case you use a tool that connects to your
MetaMask Wallet. For example, the XYO Matrix
website can connect to your MetaMask Wallet.

2 Set up your Wallet


Once you have added MetaMask, it will welcome
you!

Part 1)
You should be able to see the MetaMask
logo in the top right part of your browser.
This is how you will be able to access
MetaMask once you are finished setting up
a wallet. If you can’t see the logo, make
sure you go into your Chrome Extensions
(AFTER setting up your wallet!) and maybe
delete any extra extensions that prevent it
from being at the top of the list.

Part 2)
You will have two options:

Restore a wallet or Create a wallet

Click “Create a wallet” to make a new


wallet and account.

Part 3)
Now it’s time to make a password! One of
the nice things about Metamask is that you
can have multiple wallets in one account.
This will be the password you will use to
log in and see all your wallets. Remember:
If you forget your password, you will need
you seed phrase to reset it and access
your account.

3 Save your Secret Backup Phrase


Also known as a seed phrase or private key, the “backup phrase” is the most important part of
your wallet. You will NEED this phrase to access your wallet if you forget your password,
change devices, etc. Do not share this phrase with anyone, and make sure you keep it safe!

4 Add XYO Token as a Custom Token


When you first make your MetaMask Wallet, you will need to add XYO Token as a “Custom
Token”, so you can view your XYO Token balance.

This is your dashboard. You can view all


your currencies, and add new ones
from here too! Above, you can see
Ethereum. This wallet has 0 ETH. Let’s
add XYO Token!

Click the “Add Token” button to begin


looking for XYO Token.

Custom Tokens

Click the “Custom Token” tab to begin


adding your XYO Token.

You’ll see a form to fill out. This is the


information for XYO Token:

Token Contact Address:


0x55296f69f40ea6d20e478533c15a6b08b654e758

Token Symbol:
XYO

Decimals:
18

You’ve now added XYO Tokens! If you have XYO Tokens in this wallet, you should see them appear in
your balance. If you don’t, make sure your public key (or “wallet address”) is the same as the wallet
you believe has XYO Tokens in it!

Go to the next step to locate your public key.

5 Locating your Public Key and Receiving XYO Tokens


In order to recieve XYO Tokens, the sender will need to know your public key. It’s very long, and
normally will start with “0x...”.

This is your public key.

If you use the extension icon to
access your wallet later, it may look
like the image below. You can still
access the wallet public key!
