How to set up a wallet

In DeFi (Decentralized Finance), you are the true owner of your crypto. Your funds sit in a wallet that is controlled and managed by you. Before doing anything, it is important that you always follow these safety practices:

Metamask

MetaMask is a very popular browser-based wallet plugin. It supports Ethereum by default, and every other Ethereum compatible blockchain, such as BNB Chain, Avalanche, and Polygon, can be added manually. MetaMask is also compatible with hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor.

Funding your wallet

Now you have created your wallet, it's time to fund it with crypto tokens. To make any transaction on a blockchain, such as a trade on a decentralized exchange or a deposit in Ethera's vault pools, you need the native gas token to pay for it. For Ethereum, it's ETH, for BNB Chain, it's BNB, etc.

Fiat On-Ramp

There are several providers that let you buy crypto directly to your wallet by using a bank transfer or credit card. On Ethera, various services allow you to do just that, bundled in one module for an easy overview that lets you pick the best option. You just need to click on the Buy Crypto button on the top of the page to start the Fiat On-Ramp process.

Centralized Exchange method

Funding your wallet is relatively easy if you already have an account on a centralized exchange, such as Binance or Coinbase. In short, it comes down to withdrawing your crypto from the exchange to your wallet address. In the process, you choose the coin to withdraw and the blockchain network on which you wish to receive the crypto asset.

Anti-Sybil Protection (min $500)

To ensure fair access and prevent abuse through multi-account farming, Ethernal uses a simple but effective anti-Sybil system.

To participate and activate rewards, your wallet must be successfully connected with a minimum combined balance of $500 in eligible tokens. This helps ensure that only genuine users with real intent can benefit from the system — not bots or mass wallet farms.

There’s no need for complicated KYC or identity checks. Just one connected wallet with $500+ is your key to unlocking passive yield.
