your wallet lives on your phone. the keys that control your funds on blockchain are stored on your mobile device — which means nobody can access your funds without them - that's self-custody
**NOTE: save your recovery key somewhere off your phone**
if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged and you don't have your recovery key, your account cannot be recovered. no backdoor, no support ticket, no exception. the same security that makes this wallet yours alone makes it unrecoverable without that key.
💡 add a second device. it takes two minutes and means you're never locked out.
getting started:
1. sign up at buildwallet.com & verify your email
2. download the buildwallet mobile dApp and login
3. complete the short registration flow - your keys are generated and stored on this device only
4. create & save your recovery key somewhere safe and off your phone — a secure note, printed paper, or password manager
5. your wallet is live - balance starts at $0.00 and updates the moment funds arrive.
