How Do I Create a Cardano Wallet?

Instructions on how to create an external wallet to purchase books on book.io

External wallets that we suggest are:

Nami Wallet https://namiwallet.io/

Eternl Wallet https://ccvault.io/

Both will be needed in order to purchase and store your Book Token NFT book.

To create a Nami wallet, go to https://namiwallet.io/.

  • Download the Nami extension to your compatible browser. (Chrome, Brave, or Edge)
  • You will be prompted to Create a new wallet.
  • When creating a new wallet, you will be supplied with a “Seed Phrase”, ENSURE that you store this phrase in a safe location as it is your only backup to your wallet.
  • Click on “Receive” to find and copy your deposit address

You can now copy this address and use it to receive ₳DA funds from the centralized exchange you created in step 1.

To create an Eternl wallet, go to the Chrome Extension store or https://eternl.io/app/mainnet/welcome if you don't use chrome or don't want to add an extension (skip to the 4th bullet point).
  • Download the extension.
  • Pin it to your extension list.
  • Open the extension.
  • Click on "Add Wallet" in the left nav.
  • Select Create Wallet to be walked through the creation steps.
  • When creating a new wallet, you will be supplied with a “Seed Phrase” ENSURE that you store this phrase in a safe location as it is your only backup to your wallet.
  • Once your wallet is created, click the “Receive” tab to share your address or "Send" to enter an address to send assets to.

3. Transferring Funds

  • Navigate to the centralized exchange created in step 1 and sign in. Example Coinbase
  • Open your ₳DA wallet and click on send
  • You will be asked to enter the amount and wallet address.
  • Click send/continue to complete the process.
  • Navigate back to your Nami or Eternl wallet.
  • Confirm that the ₳DA sent has been received

Note: Some exchanges may require you to wait a day or two before withdrawing, and on occasion, the actual withdrawal can take a few hours.
