Setup and features guide for enkrypt wallet

Once the extension is active, bypass the default “Create a New Wallet” prompt if you already hold assets. Instead, select “Import Wallet” and paste your 24-word recovery phrase (generated by MetaMask or TrustWallet) directly into the BIP39 field. This action restores every public address and private key from your old wallet into Enkrypt’s interface, preserving all ERC-20, BEP-20, and Polygon tokens without a single retransaction.

For a fresh start, choose “Set PIN” after generating a new recovery phrase. This six-digit code gates all outgoing transactions but leaves token viewing open–ideal for read-only monitoring. Write the 24 words on two separate steel plates, never online, and verify recovery by entering three random words from the list into the confirmation dialog before adding any real funds.

Enkrypt’s architecture automatically segregates each blockchain network into its own tab. Click the “Network” dropdown in the top-left corner to switch between Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, and Avalanche C-Chain instantly. Each tab displays only the native coin (ETH, MATIC, BNB, AVAX) plus tokens created on that specific chain–no cross-chain clutter. For monitoring balances across all networks simultaneously, activate the “Full Balance” toggle in Settings > Display; this sums your total USD value by fetching live prices via CoinGecko’s API on page load.

The “Portfolio” screen replaces generic token lists with a pie chart showing percentage allocations by network. Hover over any slice to see exact dollar amounts and click it to drill down into individual token holders. To export this data, press Ctrl+Shift+E (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+E (Mac)–this dumps a CSV file with columns for network, contract address, balance, and USD value at the time of export, excluding tokens with zero balance automatically.

Transaction crafting merits the “Advanced” tab within the send dialog. Here, set custom gas limits (default: 21000 for ETH transfers, 65000 for ERC-20 token sends) and adjust max priority fee per Gas in Gwei. Enkrypt highlights the current chain’s base fee in orange, allowing you to undercut or exceed it by up to 50%. For multi-sig security, pair Enkrypt with a hardware device via the “Hardware Wallet” section under Settings–Ledger and Trezor Model T are supported through WebUSB, requiring no bridge application.

Setup and Features Guide for Enkrypt Wallet

Deploy the browser extension directly from the Chrome Web Store or the official Enkrypt website to bypass malicious clones. Upon installation, pin the extension to your toolbar and click it to open the interface. The initial configuration requires generating a 12-word mnemonic phrase–store this on paper in a fireproof safe, never digitally. Select the “Multi-Chain” mode during the prompt to immediately access Ethereum, Polkadot, Kusama, and Binance Smart Chain. For hardware integration, connect a Ledger device via USB; the software will automatically detect it under the “Accounts” menu, allowing you to sign transactions without exposing private keys to the browser.


Inside the dashboard, the built-in swap aggregator queries multiple decentralized exchanges (Uniswap, Kyber, 1inch) to find the lowest slippage for token conversions. To add a custom network like Polygon or Avalanche, navigate to “Networks” in settings and paste the RPC URL (e.g., https://polygon-rpc.com) alongside the chain ID (137 for Polygon). The “Privacy” tab offers a toggle for IPFS node routing to obscure your network traffic during NFT transactions. Transaction fees are adjustable via the “Gas Optimization” slider, which prioritizes speed for time-sensitive trades or cost-efficiency for routine transfers. Push notifications for incoming assets can be toggled per chain under “Alerts,” reducing constant manual checks.


For developers, the JSON-RPC provider endpoint is exposed at `window.enkrypt` after installation, enabling dApp integration without extra libraries. The phishing detection engine cross-references every site against a locally cached blocklist updated hourly, flagging suspicious domains with a red overlay before any signing prompt. Legacy token support includes ERC-20, BEP-20, and PSP22 standards, with automatic detection of impromptu airdrops via a “Hidden Tokens” scanner. Batch approval requests are capped at 3 contracts per 60 seconds to mitigate drainer exploits, a safeguard lacking in many rivals. The recovery phrase can be migrated across devices using the encrypted QR code export feature, but only after confirming the target device’s public key hash via an out-of-band channel.

Q&A:
I just downloaded Enkrypt. What’s the very first screen I see, and what do I need to do with the recovery phrase? I don’t want to mess this up.

The first screen asks you to create a new wallet or import an existing one. If you choose "Create New Wallet," you will be shown a list of 12 or 24 words—this is your secret recovery phrase. Write these words down on paper. Do not take a screenshot, do not store them in a cloud note app, and do not type them into any website. The wallet then asks you to confirm 3-4 random words from that list to prove you wrote them down. That confirmation step is your safety net; if you can't pass it, you can't finish setup. Once done, your wallet is ready.

I just installed the Enkrypt browser extension. What are the very first steps I need to take before I can use it?

After installing the Enkrypt extension, click on it in your browser toolbar. You will be offered two clear choices: "Create a new wallet" or "Import an existing wallet." If you are brand new, choose "Create a new wallet." The system will ask you to set a strong password—this locks the app on your device, so don't lose it. After that, you must securely save your Secret Recovery Phrase (a list of 12 or 24 words). Enkrypt will show you these words one by one; write them down on paper and store it offline. Do not take a screenshot or store it in a digital file. Once you confirm you have saved the phrase by typing it in the correct order, the wallet is fully set up and ready to use.

I have assets on Ethereum and Solana. Can Enkrypt Wallet manage both in one place, or do I need separate wallets?

Enkrypt Wallet is designed as a multi-chain wallet, so you can manage Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, BNB Chain, and several other networks all from a single interface. You don't need separate extensions or apps. After creating or importing your wallet, you will see your portfolio view. By default, it may show only Ethereum. To add Solana or other networks, go to the settings or network management section (often represented by a gear icon). There, you can toggle on the networks you use. Once enabled, your wallet address for that chain is automatically generated, and your balances will appear in the main portfolio view. You can also send and receive tokens on each chain directly from that unified interface.

Is there a built-in way to swap one token for another inside Enkrypt, or do I have to connect to a separate exchange?

Enkrypt includes a built-in swap feature. Inside the wallet interface, find the "Swap" or "Exchange" tab. When you select it, you choose the token you want to sell and the token you want to buy, and the wallet will query several decentralized exchange aggregators behind the scenes. It will return a list of quotes showing the rate, network fees, and slippage for different routes. You can pick the option that works best for you. Keep in mind that you need to have a small amount of the native coin (ETH for Ethereum, SOL for Solana) to pay for the transaction fee on that network. The swap itself is executed as a smart contract transaction directly from your wallet, so your private keys stay with you.

I see an option for "Connect Hardware Wallet" in the menu. What does that actually do, and which hardware devices are supported?

This feature allows you to manage your hardware wallet (like a Ledger or Trezor) through the Enkrypt interface. You don't load your hardware wallet keys into Enkrypt. Instead, you plug your hardware device into your computer, unlock it, and then open Enkrypt. You select "Connect Hardware Wallet," and Enkrypt will detect the device. It then allows you to see the balances from that hardware wallet's addresses directly inside the Enkrypt portfolio view. You can also initiate transactions; the transaction data is sent to your hardware wallet for you to physically confirm on its screen by pressing the buttons. This way, you get the convenience of Enkrypt's interface while keeping your private keys isolated on the hardware device. Enkrypt typically supports Ledger Nano S, Nano X, and Trezor Model T. Support for specific chains on your hardware wallet depends on the apps installed on that device.

When I send funds, the gas fee looks high. Does Enkrypt let me adjust the gas limit and priority fee manually, or is it automatic?

Enkrypt gives you control over fees. When you confirm a transaction, the wallet will auto-populate a "slow," "average," and "fast" fee option based on current network conditions. However, you are not stuck with those. There is usually an "Advanced" or "Custom" button next to the fee selection. Tapping that opens a detailed menu where you can manually adjust the gas limit (the amount of gas units the transaction needs) and the priority fee (the tip to the validator). For chains like Ethereum, you can also adjust the base fee. If a transaction is not time-sensitive, choosing the "slow" option can save you money, though it may take minutes or longer to confirm. Just be cautious: lowering the gas limit below what the transaction requires can cause the transaction to fail, but you will still pay the fee for the failed attempt. The wallet will warn you if the numbers look off.

I’m trying to set up Enkrypt for the first time, but I’m confused about the different seed phrase options. One screen offers 12 words and another offers 24 words. Does it matter which one I pick for a new wallet, and will I lose access to certain features based on my choice?

Great question. The choice between a 12-word and 24-word seed phrase in Enkrypt is about security versus convenience. Both are generated using the BIP-39 standard, so technically a 12-word seed is already very secure—major exchanges and hardware wallets have used 12-word phrases for years without issues. The 24-word version adds extra entropy (256 bits instead of 128), making it more resistant to brute-force attacks in extremely improbable scenarios (like quantum computing threats). In practical day-to-day use, you will have full access to all of Enkrypt’s features—multi-chain support, swapping, NFT management, and hardware wallet connections—no matter which length you choose. However, note that if you ever want to migrate your wallet to a hardware device like a Ledger or Trezor, some devices only accept 24-word phrases (Ledger allows both, but older Trezors prefer 24). My advice: if you plan to combine Enkrypt with a hardware wallet down the line, go with 24. For a purely software wallet used on your browser or mobile, 12 words are fine and easier to write down. Just make sure to store that phrase offline, never photograph it, and never paste it into any website—even one that looks official.
