This article walks through the process of setting up an Omni wallet — from spinning up a new wallet to importing an existing wallet. When getting set up on Omni, you have three options:
Create a completely new wallet
Import an existing wallet such as MetaMask
Connect your Ledger hardware wallet
But, before you get to that point, you’ll first need to secure the Omni app with either a Passcode or Face ID. Here is how it is done
Open Omni and tap Let’s go!
Either tap Use Face ID or Set up a Passcode to secure your wallet. Tap OK if you receive a prompt from your phone to allow Face ID. If you decide to use a Passcode, type in your new code and confirm.
Tap Create a new wallet.
To backup your wallet, check the circular button and tap Backup.
Tap Next.
Select the listed words in the correct order of your Secret Phrase to verify them.
Tap Next.
Once the screen loads, tap Done.
When you enter your Home Screen, Omni will prompt you to activate push notifications so you’re notified of balance changes and successful transactions. To activate push notifications, tap Continue and then tap Allow.
Tap Import an existing wallet.
Tap MetaMask.
Type your MetaMask seed phrase. To find your seed phrase on MetaMask, you can do the following:
On your MetaMask Home Screen, tap the Menu bar ☰ at the top left-hand corner.
Tap Settings ⚙️.
Tap Security & Privacy.
Enter your MetaMask password to continue. Hold the blue button to reveal your Secret Phrase. Tap Copy to clipboard. Navigate back to the Omni app and paste the secret phrase.
Tap Next.
In the next screen, you have the option to import multiple MetaMask accounts into Omni. Select the accounts you want to import.
Tap Next.
After the screen completes loading, tap Done.
On Omni, you can import your Bluetooth-enabled Ledger Nano X (and soon, the new Ledger Stax) for maximum security. If you are using an Android device, you can also connect with any other Ledger device via USB. To import your Ledger, do the following:
Tap Connect your Ledger (and make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone).
Unlock your Ledger.
Click on the name of your Ledger device.
Select the app of the blockchain you want to connect to (in this case Ethereum). Please note that you can always add more blockchains (and Ledger accounts) later.
If this is your first time using this Ledger, you will have to enable the Bluetooth Pairing Request on your Ledger. Confirm pairing of the Ledger to your phone via your Ledger.
Open the Ethereum App on your Ledger.
Select which Ethereum account of your Ledger you want to sync to Omni.
Done!
Congrats! Now that your wallet is set up, you’ll be able to utilize all the features that make Omni a next-gen wallet. Bridge and swap tokens across all supported EVM-compatible networks, stake and liquid stake over 20+ tokens right in app, access yield generating vaults in just three taps, manage and view all your NFTs in one place, and much more!
