What is a THOR Wallet?

A "THOR Wallet" refers to any crypto wallet that lets you hold and interact with assets across Thorchain protocols (for example, RUNE and cross‑chain liquidity). Thorchain is a cross‑chain liquidity network, so users often use standard wallets (hardware or software) that support the chains and assets they trade.

Common wallet types used with Thorchain

  • Hardware wallets: Ledger (recommended for large balances) used with supported apps.
  • Browser/mobile wallets: Wallets that support the networks you need (e.g., MetaMask for EVM, Phantom for Solana when bridging, Keplr for Cosmos‑based chains where applicable).
  • Integrated app wallets: Some Thorchain front‑ends provide wallet connection options (WalletConnect, injected wallets, or mobile deep links).

How to download & connect (basic)

  1. Open the official Thorchain site (link in the sidebar) to find recommended front‑ends and integration guides.
  2. Choose a wallet that supports the chain and asset you plan to use (e.g., Ledger + MetaMask for EVM assets).
  3. Install the wallet app or browser extension, then create or import a wallet following the provider's instructions.
  4. Securely back up your recovery phrase and store it offline (never enter it on a website).
  5. On a Thorchain front‑end (e.g., swap or liquidity app), click "Connect Wallet", choose your wallet provider, and approve the connection in the wallet UI.

Security best practices

  • Always verify the official domain and SSL certificate before connecting your wallet.
  • Never share your seed phrase or private keys. No legitimate support will ask for them.
  • Use hardware wallets for custody of large amounts and approve transactions carefully.
  • Double‑check contract addresses and transaction details before signing (amounts, destination addresses, and gas fees).
  • Start with a small test transaction when using a new front‑end or bridge.

Note: Thorchain interactions often involve cross‑chain bridges and swaps; gas and bridging flows differ by chain. Read official docs for network‑specific instructions before transferring large amounts.
