Setting Up Your Keplr Wallet

Navigate to https://keplr.app and click either button on the page to Install Keplr. 

Next, click the button of the browser or operating system that you will be installing Keplr on. In this example, we will be installing Keplr on the Chrome browser.

When you first open the Keplr browser extension, it will launch a browser tab presenting you with options to create a new wallet, import an existing wallet, or connect a hardware wallet. For this example, we will choose the option to create a new wallet.

If you have a ledger, you can create a new wallet using the same ledger as Metamask. In this example, we are not using a hardware wallet.

Select the option to Create new recovery phrase.

Keplr will prompt you with a warning to never share your recovery phrase with ANYONE. Anyone with your recovery phrase can have full control over your assets. Please stay vigilant against phishing attacks at all times. Kepler also reminds you to back up your seed safely. You will not be able to restore your account without your recovery phrase. It is recommended to keep a physical copy, for example, written down, and do not store it digitally. If you understand this, click I understand. Show my phrase.

On the next page, Keplr will provide you with your recovery phrase. Write this recovery phrase down somewhere safe and verify that the words are correct before hitting Next.

On the next page, Keplr will have you verify your recovery phrase, create a wallet name, and create a Keplr password. For the recovery phrase, Keplr will ask for two specific words from your mnemonic. Enter these words. Then name your wallet, enter a password, confirm the password, and then hit Next.

The next page will have you select what chains you want to be visible within your wallet. You can change these at any time through the Keplr settings. In this example, we are going to add Stride and Dymension.

Search for Stride and then check mark it.

Search for Dymension and then check mark it, then click Save.

Your Keplr wallet was created! You are now ready to liquid stake your DYM 🎉
