In this tutorial, you'll learn how to download the Galaxy Station extension and import or create a new wallet. If you were using a previous version of Galaxy Station, follow the Upgrade guide to upgrade your wallets to the latest version.

Download Galaxy Station

Download Galaxy Station by following the steps below.

Download Chrome or open your existing Chrome browser and visit the Galaxy Station page in the Chrome web store.
Click Add to Chrome and follow the directions in your browser. It's a good idea to pin Galaxy Station in the Extension toolbar so it stays accessible.
When you open Galaxy Station for the first time, you'll be asked to create a password. This password secures all of the accounts in your wallet, so make sure it is a secure password that you will remember!

🔐Password security

Make sure your password is secure and memorable. In general, it's good to use a mix of numbers, special characters, and upper and lowercase letters in your password. Longer passwords are generally more secure.

You can only change your password if you have access to your existing password. If you lose your password, the only way to access your accounts will be to re-install the browser extension and re-import their recovery phrases or keys.

Create a new wallet

If this is your first time using Galaxy Station, you'll need to create a new wallet. If you already have a wallet, you can import an existing one.

Open the Galaxy Station extension in your browser, and then click Create new wallet.

Enter a name for your new wallet.

Using a pen and paper, write down your 24-word recovery phrase exactly as it appears. Number each word to make verifying easier.

🔥Protect your recovery phrase

Anyone who gains access to your seed phrase can access the contents of your wallet. There is no recourse for a stolen recovery phrase. To protect your seed phrase, consider the following tips.

Never save or store your seed phrase as a digital file on any device.
Always write down your seed phrase with a pen and paper.
Store the paper with your seed phrase on it somewhere safe where only you can access it.
Never give your seed phrase to anyone, not even support staff.

Verify the written seed phrase to ensure every word is spelled correctly and that each word is in the correct order. Verifying the words in reverse order may help.
Check the box to confirm that your seed phrase has been written down and click Create Wallet. Keep your seed phrase around for the next step.
Confirm your seed phrase by selecting the correct words in each prompt and then click Confirm.

Click Done

Congratulations, you've just created a new Galaxy Station wallet!

Import an existing wallet

If you already have a wallet, you can import it into Galaxy Station using your recovery phrase.

Open the Galaxy Station extension in your browser, and then click Import Existing Wallet.

You can either import a wallet using a recovery phrase or from an exported key.
If you are importing a wallet using a recovery phrase, enter a name for your wallet and input your wallet's recovery phrase.

If you are importing a wallet using an exported seed key, enter a name for your wallet and input your wallet's key and the password associated with the exported wallet.

After successfully importing your wallet, you'll be able to access it using Galaxy Station.

Connect your Ledger

Before connecting your Ledger, make sure it is charged and unlocked. To access all the features of Galaxy Station Wallet, including cross-chain features, install the Cosmos and Terra apps before continuing. This tutorial shows how to connect a Ledger via USB.
