What is Bitget Wallet?
Bitget Wallet (formerly BitKeep) is a self-custody Web3 wallet trusted by over 60 million users. It is designed for the decentralized web, supporting over 130 mainnets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Base.
Non-Custodial
You own your private keys. Bitget uses DESM encryption and MPC (Multi-Party Computation) to ensure even the developers cannot access your funds.
Super DEX
Aggregates liquidity from hundreds of DEXs to provide the best prices for cross-chain swaps without leaving the app.
Setup Guide
1 Step 1: Download & Install
Bitget Wallet is available as a mobile app and a browser extension.
Mobile
Download from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). Verify the developer is "Bitkeep Global Inc".
Browser
Install the Chrome Extension from web3.bitget.com.
2 Step 2: Create Wallet & Backup
Security is key. Bitget Wallet creates a unique mnemonic phrase for you.
- Launch the app and select "Create a Wallet".
- Set a 6-digit PIN password (and enable FaceID if desired).
- Backup Phrase: Tap "Backup my mnemonic". You will see 12 or 24 words.
- Write it Down: Store these words offline on paper. Do not screenshot them. This is the only way to recover your funds.
- Verify the phrase to complete setup.
3 Step 3: Security Check
Before depositing, familiarize yourself with the security tools.
- Token Approval Checker: Bitget warns you about malicious dApps. Regularly check the "Approval" section to revoke permissions from old sites.
- GetGas: If you are stuck without gas fees (e.g., you have USDT but no ETH), use the "GetGas" feature to swap tokens for gas instantly.
4 Step 4: Using Super DEX (Swap)
The killer feature of Bitget Wallet is the ability to swap across chains (e.g., Swap USDT on Tron to ETH on Base).
1. Click the Swap or Market tab.
2. Select the token you have and the token you want.
3. Bitget aggregates liquidity from Uniswap, PancakeSwap, and Curve to find the best rate.
4. MEV Protection: Bitget enables MEV protection by default to prevent bots from front-running your trade.
5. Click "Confirm" to execute the cross-chain swap.
Where to Spend Crypto
Bitget Wallet is excellent for managing your portfolio. Use it to fund your privacy wallets before visiting these markets.
Conclusion
You have successfully set up Bitget Wallet. It is a powerful tool for navigating the Web3 ecosystem and swapping tokens across different blockchains efficiently. While secure, always remember to keep your seed phrase private and use a dedicated hardware wallet for large amounts.
