$WALLET tokens rewards will be awarded to Smart Accounts created after the official release of the Ambire Wallet extension.
In this article, you will learn how to create a Smart Account address in a couple of seconds using your Hardware Wallet, an existing Hot Wallet, or a new Hot Wallet.
Using the Ambire Wallet browser extension in combination with a Smart Account will give you access to many new features, and creating such an account rewards you with $WALLET tokens.
Note: $WALLET token rewards for creating a new Smart Account will be available only for accounts created after the official release of the Ambire Wallet extension.
If you open the Ambire Wallet extension for the first time, you will be presented with the following options. Alternatively, if you have already added an account, you can access the menus for creating Smart Account by clicking on the account name at the top left corner of the extension, and using the "+Add Account" button.
Click on the preferred method or scroll down to find details on how to create a Smart Account with any of those options.
Hardware wallet
When you connect your Hardware wallet and select this method, you will be presented with a list of available Basic Accounts (EOA) and Smart Accounts. Select one or multiple Smart Accounts, which will be added to your Ambire Wallet extension.
If you have never interacted with the selected Smart Account before, it will be created, and you will receive $WALLET token rewards. Those rewards are available after the official release of the Ambire Wallet extension
Existing Hot Wallet
With this option, you can use the private key or seed phrase of your existing EOA hot wallet to create a new, unique Smart Account wallet.
Once you enter the private key/seed phrase, you will be presented with a list of available Basic Accounts (EOA) and Smart Accounts. Select one or multiple Smart Accounts, which will be added to your Ambire Wallet extension.
If you have never interacted with the selected Smart Account before, it will be created, and you will receive $WALLET token rewards. Those rewards are available after the official release of the Ambire Wallet extension
Create a new Hot Wallet
Ambire Wallet's browser extension also allows you to create a fresh new Smart Account. Select this method and click on "Set up with a Seed Phrase".
As with any other seed phrase, it's extremely important to keep it safe and not share it with anybody else, regardless of the reason, as compromising its security also compromises the security of the related account.
You should use the seed phrase of your Smart Account only to get access or recover access to it.
Congratulations!
