What is Avalanche Wallet?

Avalanche Wallet is a client-side wallet that lets users hold, send, receive, and interact with AVAX and tokens on Avalanche’s subnets and chains. It supports secure key management (seed phrase / hardware wallets), dApp connections via WalletConnect and injected providers, and direct access to Avalanche’s staking and bridging features.

Key features

  • Multi-chain support: Manage assets across Avalanche C-Chain, X-Chain, P-Chain and compatible subnets.
  • Staking & Delegation: Stake AVAX to validators or delegate to earn staking rewards and help secure the network.
  • dApp integration: Connect to DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces, and games using standard wallet interfaces.
  • Bridging & Swaps: Bridge assets between Avalanche and other chains or swap tokens using integrated DEXes.
  • Hardware wallet support: Use Ledger/Trezor for cold-key security (recommended for larger balances).

How to get started (quick)

  1. Install the official Avalanche Wallet or browser extension and create a new wallet with a strong seed phrase.
  2. Securely store your recovery phrase offline (never share it).
  3. Fund the wallet with AVAX from an exchange or another wallet.
  4. Explore staking, connect to dApps, or use the bridge to move assets in/out.

Security best practices

Always verify the wallet URL, enable hardware wallet protection for large holdings, avoid entering your seed into websites, and use a dedicated device if possible. Beware of phishing sites and double-check transaction details before approving.

Frequently asked questions

1. Is Avalanche Wallet free to use?
Yes — creating and using a wallet is free, though you pay network transaction (gas) fees in AVAX when sending or interacting with contracts.
2. How do I stake AVAX from the wallet?
Use the staking section to delegate or validate. You’ll select a validator, specify an amount, and confirm — rewards are distributed per network rules.
3. Can I recover my wallet if I lose my device?
Yes — by restoring with the seed (recovery) phrase. Keep that phrase offline and private; anyone with it can control your funds.
4. Does Avalanche Wallet support Ledger?
Yes — many users connect Ledger for added security. Use the hardware wallet option when supported by the wallet interface.
5. Is Avalanche Wallet custodial?
No. Avalanche Wallet is non-custodial: you control the private keys. The wallet provider cannot move your funds without your keys.
6. Which chains/tokens are supported?
AVAX and Avalanche-compatible ERC-20 tokens on the C-Chain, as well as assets on other subnets that the wallet recognizes. Check the wallet UI for current subnet support.
