How do I create an account address with Public Mint? Why do I need one?

You need a verified Public Mint Wallet account in order to deposit and withdraw funds from the network.

You can also use your Public Mint Wallet account to send and receive funds, and to check your balances and transaction history.

You can create a Public Mint account via our Web App, by following the steps outlined on our website: https://wallet.publicmint.com/connect-account

Alternatively, you can download our Mobile App for Android or IOS from Google or Apple stores.

The following methods to connect your account are available:

Connect simplified - Your Public Mint Wallet private keys will be safely stored with your chosen service, like Google or Apple. The private keys are fully encrypted and cannot be viewed by Google/Apple or Public Mint.

Advanced user - If you're comfortable managing your own private keys, or want to access an existing Public Mint Wallet account using your own private keys (in JSON format ONLY - raw, unencrypted private keys such as the one generated by Metamask won't work).

Note: We do NOT support third-party in-app browsers, such as Metamask Mobile browser or any other Dapp browsers.

Please use a native, purpose-built browser, like Chrome, Brave or Firefox.
