Theta Wallet extension |Theta Wallet Support
If you create a new wallet, we recommend you do so offline. One you reach the Theta Wallet extension site, take your device offline put it in airplane mode, then click “Create Wallet”. Next you will download an encrypted keystore file and create a wallet password. This encrypted keystore file on your computer will be used to unlock your wallet any time you want to access it. You will then need to copy down the mnemonic/seed phrase (and private key, if you choose to) and store them in a safe place. Your mnemonic/seed phrase and private key are the only way to restore your Theta wallet if you lose your keystore file and/or wallet password! Make sure you save them correctly and store them offline in safe place (never online or in the cloud!). Once your wallet has been created, you can re-connect your device and unlock your new Theta wallet.
Theta Wallet Chrome extension now available in Chrome Web Store
The latest Theta Wallet is out now — a brand new Chrome extension with all the features of the Theta Wallet extension you use on mobile or the web! Combining the ease of use of Metamask and the functionality of Theta Wallet, this new extension gives the best experience yet for desktop Theta users.
The Theta Wallet Extension allows you to manage your accounts right in your browser. You can have multiple accounts, send THETA/TFUEL, stake to guardian nodes, manage your TNT-20 tokens and more! This is the most connected Theta Wallet because it allows developers to securely integrate Theta into their DApps. You don’t have to leak any phrases or private keys. All of the transactions are securely signed once you approve them.
If you’ve used the Theta Wallet before, you should find the user experience very similar — use the Send and Receive functions to send THETA or TFUEL (or new TNT-20 tokens built on Theta with the new smart contract functionality!).

FAQ
What is Theta (THETA)?
Theta originally was built as a token on top of the Ethereum network when it entered existence in 2018 by the Theta Labs teams.
Since then Theta has migrated to its own blockchain protocol where it is today. It is the governance token of the Theta protocol which means the tokens themselves represent voting power and can be used to validate or produce blocks in the blockchain.
What is Theta Fuel (TFUEL)?
Theta Fuel or TFUEL is the secondary token for the Theta blockchain - it is used to pay for the transaction fees, as well as deploying and interacting with smart contracts on the Theta protocol.
You can actually earn TFUEL by supporting your favorite streams. For every minute you watch streams on the THETA.tv platform you support your favorite content creator as well as earn yourself a nice little reward too. For more information please check out the THETA.tv official FAQ section.
