Create your first wallet

Last updated 28 days ago

The easiest and quickest way to get started with Family is to create a new wallet with your phone or email. Your wallet will be backed up to Pocket, Family’s dedicated self-custody account service, and secured by your passkey or a password. You can also backup existing wallets to your Pocket account.

How to create your first wallet

Here’s how to crate a self-custodial wallet(s) with just an email or phone number:

  1. Select Create a New Wallet.
  2. Enter your phone or email address.
  3. Enter the verification code sent to you.
  4. Create a passkey when prompted using Face ID.
  5. Choose a nickname for your wallet. This name is only visible to you.
  6. Choose a color for your wallet. You can always edit the color later.
  7. Choose an avatar for your wallet. You can chose an image from your device, take a photo, use an emoji, or use an icon. After you set a display image, tap Continue.
  8. Read and agree to the terms on the screen before you continue.
  9. After you’ve read and agreed to the terms, your wallet is ready.
