BTC Wallet Setup

📜 TL;DR:

  • UniSat, available as a browser extension and mobile app, is designed to let users easily manage their Bitcoin assets and interact with dApps.

  • This guide walks you through setting up your UniSat wallet.


🏁 Prerequisites

1. Add the UniSat Chrome extension

Navigate to the UniSat extension download and click 'Add to Chrome.'

Click 'Add extension.'


📚 Tutorial

1. Open the UniSat Chrome extension

Open the UniSat extension and click 'Create new wallet.'


2. Create a password


3. Copy your secret recovery phrase

Make sure to save your private key. Your private key provides full access to your wallet and funds.

  • Hemi team members will never ask you for private keys.

  • Do not share it with anyone.

After you have saved your private key in a secure area, click 'Continue.'


4. Select address type

Hemi currently uses two primary address types:

  • Legacy (P2PKH): PoP mining currently requires a P2PKH address, although this may change at some point in the future.

  • Native SegWit (P2WPKH): For everything else on Hemi (i.e., Bitcoin tunneling), any address type can be used but P2WPKH will (generally) be the cheapest fee-wise.

We recommend creating a Native SegWit wallet to jumpstart in the Bitcoin ecosystem. New wallets and other address types can be created in the future.

After you have selected your address type, click 'Continue.'


5. Your UniSat wallet setup is complete! 🎉
