Creating a Uniswap Wallet

  • Download the Uniswap wallet app from the app store
  • Create a wallet by pressing "Create Wallet"
  • Optionally, create a username (a human-readable name attached to the wallet address)
  • Enable Face ID for added security

Backing Up the Seed Phrase

  • The seed phrase is a long password used to access the wallet
  • Go to settings and click on "Recovery Phrase" to view the seed phrase
  • Write down the seed phrase and keep it safe, or back it up via iCloud
  • Note: anyone with access to the seed phrase can access the wallet

Getting Crypto into the Wallet

  • Do not buy crypto directly within the Uniswap wallet, as fees are high
  • Instead, set up a top-tier centralized exchange (e.g. Coinbase, Binance) and buy crypto there
  • Send the crypto from the exchange to the Uniswap wallet

Receiving Crypto

  • Go to the "Receive" tab and copy the wallet address
  • Send crypto from a centralized exchange or another wallet to the Uniswap wallet address
  • Note: make sure to send crypto to the correct network (e.g. Ethereum, Optimism)

Swapping Crypto

  • Make sure to have enough Ether (or other L1 coin) in the wallet to pay for gas fees
  • Go to the "Swap" tab and select the token to swap
  • Choose the amount to swap and review the transaction
  • Confirm the swap and wait for the transaction to complete

Sending Crypto

  • Go to the "Send" tab and select the token to send
  • Enter the recipient's wallet address and choose the amount to send
  • Review the transaction and confirm the send
  • Note: make sure to send the correct token on the correct network

Connecting to DApps

  • Uniswap wallet does not have a built-in DApp browser
  • To connect to a DApp, go to the DApp's website and scan the QR code with the Uniswap wallet app
  • Alternatively, connect the wallet to the DApp using the "Connect Wallet" button on the DApp's website
