How to Set up Your Kontos Wallet & Deposit Funds

In this article, we’ll explore how to set up your Kontos Wallet and deposit MNT tokens to your Kontos account on the Mantle chain using your Bybit Web3 Wallet.

How to Set Up Kontos Wallet

Method 1: Set Up Kontos Wallet via Desktop Browser

Step 1: Navigate to the Kontos Wallet website and click on New Wallet.



Step 2: Click on Continue with Google to register your Kontos account using your Google account details.



Note: You can edit your Gmail security settings later. This allows you to change your security email or add more Gmail accounts to enhance your account security.

Step 3: Choose to either log in to your Gmail account, or select a Gmail account that’s already logged in.



Step 4: Enter your preferred account name and click on Next.



Step 5: Set up a PIN code. The purpose of this is to prevent unauthorized access to your wallet. 



Notes:

• The PIN code will be used to unlock your wallet in the future.

• If the PIN is entered incorrectly 10 times, the wallet will be reset.

• In case of a reset, you’ll need to recover your wallet using the Gmail account you used to register your Kontos account.

• Choose a PIN code that you can remember, but that is difficult for others to guess.

• Never share your PIN code with anyone.

Step 6: Enter your referrer’s name. If you don’t have one, or prefer not to use one, simply click on Skip.



Congratulations! You’ve successfully created your Kontos Wallet!

Method 2: Set up Kontos Wallet via Bybit Web3 Wallet

Step 1: Open your Bybit Web3 Wallet and tap on DApps. Then, in the search field, enter https://wallet.kontos.io/ and tap on New Wallet.



Step 2: Enter your preferred account name and set up a PIN code. The purpose of setting a PIN code is to prevent unauthorized access to your wallet. 



Step 3: Tap on Add Security Email, followed by Add New Gmail.



Step 4: Tap on Secure Email Verification and enter your Gmail address in the provided field. Tap on Verify, and then enter the verification code that has been sent to your Gmail inbox.



Step 5: You can add multiple Gmail addresses as security email addresses by tapping on Add New Gmail. Then, set a recovery threshold for future account recovery. The threshold represents the number of email addresses required for recovery. Any combination of email addresses meeting the threshold can be used to initiate account recovery. 

Note: The threshold system allows for flexible and secure account recovery. For example, if you set your threshold to two out of three added emails, any two of those emails can be used to recover your account.



Step 6: Enter your referrer’s name. If you don’t have one or prefer not to use one, simply tap on Skip.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully created your Kontos Wallet!
