1. Download and Setup: Simple Steps to **Self-Custody**
The SafePal Ecosystem: Two Powerful Choices
The **SafePal Wallet** ecosystem offers flexibility. You can begin with the **SafePal Software Wallet**, a free, convenient, and **secure crypto wallet** application for your mobile device. Or, for the highest level of **security**, choose the SafePal S1 **Hardware Wallet**. Both versions operate through the same intuitive mobile application interface, making the transition seamless as your portfolio grows.
Generating Your **Secret Recovery Phrase**
The setup process is fast, requiring you only to choose a password and generate your 12 or 24-word **Secret Recovery Phrase**. This phrase is your master key—the cryptographic backup of your **Private Keys**. Crucially, SafePal is non-custodial; we never store this key. You **MUST** write it down physically and store it offline in a **secure** location. Mastering this step is the foundation of genuine **Self-Custody** in the **Web3** era.
Setup Checklist
- Download the official **SafePal Wallet** App (verify source).
- Generate your 12/24-word **Secret Recovery Phrase**.
- Store the phrase physically and offline.
- Set up a strong password and biometric lock.
- Connect your S1 **Hardware Wallet** (if applicable) via air-gapped method.
2. Unmatched **Security**: The SafePal Edge
Military-Grade Protection with EAL5+ Certification
The SafePal S1 **Hardware Wallet** is built with military-grade **security** standards. It features an **EAL5+ Secure Element**, the same advanced chip technology used to **secure** sensitive government and financial data. This chip is physically isolated from the internet and protects your **Private Keys** even against sophisticated side-channel attacks. This level of defense transforms the S1 into the most **secure crypto wallet** available for long-term holding.
Air-Gapped Transaction Signing
The S1 utilizes a unique air-gapped **security** mechanism, relying entirely on scanning encrypted QR codes via its camera. There are no Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC, or USB connections for transactions. This physical separation ensures your **Hardware Wallet** never touches an online device, eliminating potential remote attack vectors and making it an incredibly **secure crypto wallet**.
Anti-Tamper & Destruction Mechanisms
SafePal integrates multiple physical **security** features. If the device detects any physical intrusion or tampering attempts, the anti-tamper mechanism triggers, wiping the **Private Keys** immediately. Furthermore, the device has a self-destruct mechanism if unauthorized firmware attempts are detected, ensuring that only your **Secret Recovery Phrase** can restore access.
With SafePal, your **Private Keys** are not just encrypted; they are physically isolated and actively protected, guaranteeing true **Self-Custody**.
3. **DeFi** and Swaps: Your Seamless **Web3** Control Center
Instant In-App Swaps and Transfers
The **SafePal Wallet** app offers integrated Swap functionality, allowing you to instantly exchange tokens across different blockchains directly within the application. This saves time, avoids multiple transfers, and keeps your funds within the **secure crypto wallet** environment. Whether you are balancing your portfolio or capitalizing on a market move, the swap feature is fast, low-fee, and keeps your **Private Keys** protected throughout.
The SafePal DApp Browser: Access to **DeFi**
SafePal's DApp Browser is your direct window into the decentralized web. You can connect your **Secure Crypto Wallet** to thousands of **DeFi** protocols, liquidity pools, lending platforms, and DEXs across more than 40 supported blockchains. Interactions are simple, but the **security** remains stringent—every **transaction signing** request is clearly presented for approval, protecting you from potential malicious smart contracts. This truly makes SafePal a comprehensive **Web3** tool.

- Lending and Borrowing on Aave/Compound

4. **NFT** Management: Collectibles in a **Secure Crypto Wallet**
The **Web3** experience is incomplete without digital art and collectibles. **SafePal Wallet** provides a dedicated, visually rich **NFT** management module, allowing you to view, send, and receive Non-Fungible Tokens seamlessly across supported chains like Ethereum, Polygon, and BNB Smart Chain. All your unique digital assets are managed with the same high standards of **security** used for your crypto holdings.
Using the DApp browser, you can connect your **SafePal Wallet** directly to leading **NFT** marketplaces like OpenSea. Because your **Private Keys** are isolated (especially with the **Hardware Wallet**), you can confidently engage in buying and selling, knowing that your **Secret Recovery Phrase** and digital wealth are protected from online threats. **SafePal Wallet** ensures that your precious **NFT** collection is protected by industry-leading **security**.
