Creating a Wallet

Overview​

Alpaca uses a non-custodial wallet, meaning you—and only you—control your assets and private keys.
Neither Alpaca nor Keeta has access to your funds, recovery phrase, or wallet activity.

Your wallet operates directly on the Keeta decentralized network, with all transactions occurring peer-to-peer—no centralized custody, no intermediaries.

What “Non-Custodial” Means​

When you create a wallet in Alpaca:

  • You receive a 24-word recovery phrase (seed phrase)
  • This phrase proves full ownership of your wallet on the blockchain
  • Anyone with this phrase can access your funds
Critical Security Notice

Your 24-word recovery phrase is the ONLY way to restore your wallet.

  • Never screenshot it
  • Never store it in Notes, iCloud, Google Drive, or email
  • Never share it with anyone

Write it down on paper or store it offline in a secure location.

Cross-App Wallet Access​

The same 24-word recovery phrase can be used to restore your wallet in:

This gives you full cross-app access while maintaining complete decentralization and self-custody.

Creating Your Wallet​

Step 1: Start Wallet Creation​

From the Welcome Screen:

  1. Tap Create Wallet
  2. Confirm that you want to create a new wallet

Step 2: Write Down Your Recovery Phrase​

You will see 24 words displayed in order.

  • Write them down exactly as shown
  • Store them on a physical medium (paper, metal backup, etc.)
  • Keep them private and secure

You can tap any word to regenerate the entire phrase if you want a different one.

When finished, tap Next.

Step 3: Verify Recovery Phrase​

To confirm ownership, you must re-enter the same 24 words in the correct order.

  • Type each word carefully
  • Double-check spelling and sequence
  • Tap Complete once finished

This step ensures your backup is correct.

Wallet Home Screen​

After verification, your wallet opens automatically.

  • Your balance may initially be 0
  • Your wallet is now fully active on the Keeta network

To access advanced options, tap the gear icon in the top-right corner to open Settings.

Mainnet vs Testnet​

In Settings → Keeta Network, you can switch between networks.

Mainnet​

  • Real Keeta network
  • Real assets with real value
  • Requires real KTA for fees and swaps

Testnet​

  • Sandbox environment
  • Uses test tokens with no real value
  • Ideal for learning, testing, and experimentation

Summary​

Creating a wallet in Alpaca gives you full control over your assets with no intermediaries or custodians. Your recovery phrase is your proof of ownership and your responsibility to protect.

With support for both Mainnet and Testnet, Alpaca lets you securely manage real assets—or safely experiment—while staying fully decentralized on the Keeta network.
