How to get a crypto wallet#

To use CenturionDEX, you need an EVM-compatible wallet that can connect to the Centurion blockchain and sign CVM transactions. Choose the wallet from its verified publisher, secure the recovery method offline, and add Centurion only from current official network information.

Choose the right wallet#

A wallet should support custom EVM-compatible networks, CRC-20 tokens, and web application connections. Consider these security and usability features:

  • Clear transaction simulation and readable signature details.
  • Hardware-wallet support for higher-value accounts.
  • A reliable backup and recovery process.
  • Controls for connected sites and token approvals.
  • Smart-account features such as recovery guardians, spending limits, or batched actions, when you understand their trust model.

A browser extension can be convenient for regular use, while a hardware signer keeps the private key isolated from the browser. Many users keep separate wallets for long-term storage and day-to-day application activity.

Step-by-step#

  1. Reach the wallet's official download page through a trusted source, not a sponsored search result or direct message.
  2. Confirm the publisher and install the authentic application or extension.
  3. Select Create wallet and follow the wallet's local setup process.
  4. Record the recovery phrase or backup exactly as instructed. Store it offline where unauthorized people and cloud services cannot access it.
  5. Set a strong device password or biometric lock. This protects local access but does not replace the recovery phrase.
  6. Add Centurion using the current network configuration published through official Centurion channels. Confirm mainnet chain ID 286 and native token CTN before saving.
  7. Fund the wallet with a small amount of CTN for network costs before attempting a swap or token approval.
  8. Connect to CenturionDEX and verify that both the interface and wallet show Centurion before signing.

How wallets hold assets#

Your assets are recorded on the blockchain, not stored inside the wallet application. The wallet manages keys or smart-account permissions that authorize transactions. Restoring the same recovery material in a compatible wallet can usually access the same account, but importing secrets into unnecessary applications increases risk.

For example, receiving a CRC-20 token does not require the token to be pre-added to the wallet. Adding the contract address changes display only; it does not move or create the asset.

Common issues#

  • Centurion is not listed: add it from verified official configuration rather than guessing an RPC URL.
  • A balance is missing: switch to chain ID 286, select the correct account, and add the verified token contract for display.
  • A transaction cannot start: keep enough native CTN for Newton costs.
  • The wallet shows a warning: stop and verify the site, network, contract, and requested permission.

Stay safe#

Never share your recovery phrase, private key, password, or hardware-wallet confirmation code. No legitimate support agent needs them. Review every transaction and signature on the wallet screen, and test new addresses or applications with a small amount first.
