Initial setup

Open Cake Wallet.

Before setting up a wallet, you will be asked to set an access PIN. This stays on your device. You can choose a 4 digit PIN by default, or you can click the text to change to a 6 digit PIN. You can enable biometric authentication later in settings. For Linux, you need to create a password that will be unique for each wallet.

After setting up and confirming a PIN, you will need to select Create New Wallet or Restore Wallet.

Create a new wallet if you are new to crypto or want to start with a fresh wallet.

Restore an existing wallet if you'd like to keep your funds and addresses of an existing compatible wallet.

Continue the guide through the Create new wallet or Restore existing wallet sections.
