With the addition of Solana support, all new 1inch wallets are now created as multi-chain by default—supporting both EVM networks and Solana.
Wallets imported via a seed phrase will also be multi-chain.
​

If you prefer a wallet limited to one network, import it using the corresponding private key.

Create a wallet

Once you have downloaded and installed 1inch Wallet for iOS or Android, you can now create your first wallet.

  1. Open 1inch Wallet and tap Create New Wallet.
    Alternatively, if you already have wallets added to 1inch Wallet, tap the icon in the top-right corner and tap + and select Create from the pop-up menu.

  2. In the next screen, set a new wallet's name and select the color scheme and pattern to distinguish it from other wallets. Once finished, tap Create.

You have now successfully created a new wallet! From here, you can start using your wallet right away by tapping Let's Go. If it is your first 1inch wallet ever, you will be prompted to create a passcode and will be suggested to enable the biometric authentication method, if it is available on your device. Follow the instructions on the screens to finish your setup.

Secure your wallet

To fully secure your newly created wallet, it is strongly recommended that you back up your recovery phrase. To do so:

  1. Do one of the following:

    1. If you haven't left the wallet setup screen, tap Back up my wallet.

    2. If you have already left the wallet setup screen, tap the red warning sign icon on your wallet.

  2. Enter your 1inch Wallet passcode.
    If this is your first 1inch wallet ever, you will be prompted to create a passcode.

  3. In the next screen, read the disclaimer carefully. Once done, tap Got it.

  4. Follow the instructions on the next screen to securely transfer your recovery phrase.
    It is recommended that you have multiple offline copies in different secure locations and never take screenshots, as screenshots and clipboard items can be accessed by thieves.

  5. Once done, select the checkbox claiming your responsibility and tap Continue.

  6. In the next screen, follow the instructions to confirm your recovery phrase. This usually involves using random words from your recovery phrase to make sure you have them all in the correct order.

  7. Once the check is passed, tap one of the following to start using your wallet:

    1. For iOS: Done.

    2. For Android: Open wallet.
