If you have not created a wallet for your miner or validator, create one now. If you have an existing wallet, you can skip this step and move on to the next section.

Creating Your Wallet

Follow these steps to create your wallet:
1

Create a Cold Wallet

First, create a cold wallet for your miner or validator:
Replace miner with validator if you’re setting up a validator wallet.
2

Create a Hot Wallet

Next, create a hot wallet for your cold wallet:
Make sure to use the same wallet name (miner/validator) that you used in Step 1.
3

Verify Your Wallets

Finally, verify that both wallets were created successfully:

You should see your miner or validator wallet listed, along with its associated hotkey (default).
Keep your wallet passwords safe! You’ll need them for future operations.
