How to set up the built-in Brave Wallet cryptocurrency wallet in the browser?

The Brave browser features its own non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet that does not require installing third-party extensions like MetaMask. This provides a higher level of security and saves your computer's system resources when working with decentralized applications and various blockchain networks.

To start working with the wallet, you need to open the browser menu and select Wallet, or click the wallet icon on the toolbar. Then follow the on-screen instructions to create a new wallet or restore an existing one using your secret recovery phrase. Be sure to write down this phrase on paper and store it in a secure place, as the developers do not have access to your data and cannot restore access if it is lost.

After creating the wallet, you can switch between supported networks such as Ethereum, Solana, Filecoin, and Polygon, as well as add custom networks via RPC connections. In the wallet settings, you can manage tokens, view transaction history, connect hardware-oriented devices for additional security, and purchase cryptocurrency through built-in payment provider partners.
