If you have not created a wallet for your miner or validator, create one now. If you have an existing wallet, you can skip this step and move on to the next section.

​
Creating Your Wallet

Follow these steps to create your wallet:

1

Create a Cold Wallet

First, create a cold wallet for your miner or validator:

Replace miner with validator if you’re setting up a validator wallet.

2

Create a Hot Wallet

Next, create a hot wallet for your cold wallet:

Make sure to use the same wallet name (miner/validator) that you used in Step 1.

3

Verify Your Wallets

Finally, verify that both wallets were created successfully:

You should see your miner or validator wallet listed, along with its associated hotkey (default).

Keep your wallet passwords safe! You’ll need them for future operations.
