# Create an Account

Getting started with AIDA is simple. 

You can either import an existing wallet or create a new one directly within the platform. This guide walks you through both options - starting with how to create a new wallet.

### Create a New Wallet

To create a new wallet, simply go to:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Click on "Wallet"

Head to the top-right corner of the AIDA interface and click on the Wallet icon to begin the process.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Select "Create Wallet"

From the right-hand menu, choose “Create Wallet.”

This will generate a new non-custodial smart wallet that **only&#x20;*****you*****&#x20;can access**. AIDA never holds your private keys or controls your funds.

> Already have a wallet? Jump to the “Import Wallet” guide below.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create a Password

You’ll be prompted to create a secure password to encrypt access to your wallet.

Requirements:

* Minimum 8 characters
* At least 1 uppercase letter

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### You all set!

Your AIDA wallet is now live and ready to use.

It’s fully compatible with 20+ blockchain networks out of the box - without requiring extra setup, extensions, or approvals.

> Fund your wallet and you’re ready to swap, trade, launch tokens, or bridge across chains - instantly.
> {% endstep %}
> {% endstepper %}

### Import a wallet

Already have a wallet? You can use it with AIDA in just a few clicks.

By importing your seed phrase, AIDA will create a fully compatible smart wallet that works across multiple chains — while preserving full control of your assets.

> **Important**: AIDA is non-custodial. Your keys are never stored or shared - all logic is executed locally on your device.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Click on "Import"

From the wallet setup screen, select Import to start the process.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Fill data

Paste your wallet’s Secret Recovery Phrase (typically 12 or 24 words), and then set a new password to encrypt your wallet access within AIDA.

This password is used only on your local device and cannot be recovered - make sure you store it securely.
