## Choosing Your Tropical Backpack

To make your journey through our decentralized finance paradise as smooth as a coconut milkshake, you'll need to create a wallet that's compatible with **Mantle Network**. There's a diverse range of wallets to choose from, each offering their unique set of features, just like the many fruits on a tropical tree.

When you're setting up a wallet, be sure to:

* ✅ Download and install only the latest version from an official source;
* ✅ Follow the setup guide carefully;
* ✅ Safely back up your recovery phrases;
* ❌ NEVER share your recovery phrases with anyone;
* ❌ NEVER input your recovery phrase to a website or app, other than your wallet app.

## Desktop or Mobile Wallet?

Choosing between a desktop and mobile wallet is like deciding whether to explore on foot or by canoe. Both have their own perks depending on your needs and style of journey.
