✳ YOUR JOURNEY.
YOUR CONTROL.
01

Download the official app

Visit jaxx.io or your device’s official app store to download Jaxx Liberty for iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, or Linux. Verify the developer name: “Jaxx Liberty” by Decentral Inc.

↗
02

Create a new wallet

Open the app and choose Create New Wallet. You’ll receive a 12-word backup phrase. Anyone with these words can access your funds—never share them.

↗
03

Secure your backup

Write your phrase down and keep it offline in a secure place, such as a fireproof safe. Don’t screenshot it or save it to cloud storage.

↗
04

Set a spending PIN

Optionally enable a PIN or biometric lock for convenient, additional protection on your device.

↗
05

Receive your first crypto

Choose an asset, tap Receive, and copy its wallet address. Use that address to transfer funds from an exchange or another wallet.

↗
MORE IN YOUR CORNER

A little more
peace of mind.

A few thoughtful features make managing your digital assets feel more intuitive.

▥

Portfolio at a glance

See balances and price charts for each asset in a clean dashboard, with your information staying private.

01
⌘

Optional device pairing

Pair multiple devices with a QR code. Syncing mirrors public address data; your backup phrase is never transmitted.

02
◎

Web3, in your pocket

The mobile dApp browser connects you with decentralized apps, NFT marketplaces, and DeFi protocols.

03
A NOTE ON SECURITY

Protection starts
with you.

Self-custody means being your own bank. That freedom comes with responsibility.

Important disclaimer & risk notice

This guide is for educational purposes only. You are solely responsible for protecting your backup phrase and private keys. Neither Decentral Inc. nor the authors can recover funds if you lose your phrase or your device is compromised.

Not financial advice

Crypto assets are volatile and carry risk. Do your own research and never invest more than you can afford to lose. Asset mentions are not endorsements.

02

Use official sources only

Download only from jaxx.io or verified app listings. Beware of phishing. Jaxx support will never ask for your 12-word phrase.

03

Know your local rules

Ensure wallet use complies with laws and regulations in your jurisdiction. Some features may not be available in every region.
