Get started

Install Noir Wallet, create or restore a wallet, and back up your recovery phrase.

Install the extension

Open the official listing

Install Noir Wallet from the Chrome Web Store.

Check the publisher and extension

Confirm that the listing is Noir Wallet and that the extension ID is mfoghjbpfanobmnoemoepenjjcmfpmdn.

Pin Noir Wallet

Open Chrome's extensions menu and pin Noir Wallet so it stays available in the toolbar.

Avoid unofficial downloads

Do not install wallet packages sent through direct messages or download an unpacked extension from an unknown source.

Create a new wallet

Choose Create New Wallet

Set a strong local password. This password encrypts wallet data on this device.

Record the recovery phrase

Write the words down in order and keep the backup offline. Do not store it in chat, email, screenshots, or cloud notes.

Confirm the backup

Complete the recovery phrase check, then wait for the wallet to initialize and sync.

Restore an existing wallet

Choose Import Wallet, enter the recovery phrase in the original order, and create a local password for this installation. Restoring can take time because the wallet must scan Zcash history.
