Install Trust Wallet

Download and install Trust Wallet from its official site. Set up a new wallet or import an existing seed phrase, and back up your recovery phrase securely.

Fund the wallet with TAO

Buy TAO on an exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance) and withdraw to your Trust Wallet address. Double-check the network before sending.

Open the staking section
