# Installing Cryptowallet

Authentication with a crypto wallet is one of the most secure methods. And dCalls are about security and privacy. 

You can use any crypto wallet supporting the WalletConnect protocol. [Here you can find the full list of apps supporting that protocol](https://explorer.walletconnect.com/). We recommend the following:

* [Metamask](https://metamask.io/)
* [Coinbase](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t\&rct=j\&q=\&esrc=s\&source=web\&cd=\&cad=rja\&uact=8\&ved=2ahUKEwiD3ffUrJz7AhUnX_EDHVo6By0QFnoECBYQAQ\&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.coinbase.com%2F\&usg=AOvVaw1tK4Qn6rb6OrtxWZySyVdG)
* [Ledger](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t\&rct=j\&q=\&esrc=s\&source=web\&cd=\&cad=rja\&uact=8\&ved=2ahUKEwi2_obbrJz7AhXXSvEDHf0cBocQFnoECAoQAQ\&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ledger.com%2F\&usg=AOvVaw2NbSfIAZA6ZnnsY735g8Su)
* [Bitpay](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t\&rct=j\&q=\&esrc=s\&source=web\&cd=\&cad=rja\&uact=8\&ved=2ahUKEwir-oHlrJz7AhVDQvEDHYb8BfgQFnoECBYQAQ\&url=https%3A%2F%2Fbitpay.com%2Fwallet%2F\&usg=AOvVaw3i1d4lsa9Tmc2Fhz7Ob6p1)
* [Huobi](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t\&rct=j\&q=\&esrc=s\&source=web\&cd=\&cad=rja\&uact=8\&ved=2ahUKEwjo36HurJz7AhUoXvEDHRYlB30QFnoECB8QAQ\&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.huobi.com%2Fsupport%2Fen-us%2Fdetail%2F360000154301%2F\&usg=AOvVaw0mJXXsB7CEhak2XMjlfVCK)

If you're reading that article, it might mean you're not very crypto-savvy just yet. No worries! We'll help you get started!

For the sake of the example (and because we love it), we will use Metamask wallet:

1. Open the Metamask wallet website: <https://metamask.io/>;
2. It'll automatically detect what browser you're using and offer you to download an extension for it. Do it by clicking the 'Download for...' button on the main page:<br>

3. Once installed, you'll need to log in to an existing one or create a new one. You probably don't have a crypto wallet, so you'll need to pick the latter:<br>

   <figure><img src="/files/S23JTjr4pHTIVNbozAIC" alt=""><figcaption><p><br></p></figcaption></figure>
4. Create a password, check out a short video created by the Metamask team and write down a Secret Recovery Phrase. \
   **WARNING: Never disclose your Secret Recovery Phrase. Anyone with this phrase can take your Ether forever.** Save the phrase in multiple secure places!
5. Welcome to your new wallet!<br>

Now you will need to add crypto to your crypto wallet, connect it to your dCalls account and top up the balance to access the Web3 Calls!
