### **Step 4**: This is an important part. Make sure you read this portion at least twice and understand it.

{% hint style="info" %}
**DO NOT** share you seed phrases with **ANYONE**. iBG and its team will **NEVER** ask you for your seed phrases. Losing your seed phrases is the same as losing your assets. Write it down, keep it safe. Repeat this whole paragraph out loud so you drill it into your head. It's for your safety.

### **Step 5**: MetaMask requires you to confirm you have written down the seed phrases. The order of the phrases matter too, so make sure you write the seed phrases down in order or it will not work. Click on "Confirm" to move on.

### **Step 7**: You'll be taken to the front page of your wallet. Familiarize yourself with a few things. One is the dropdown of "Ethereum Mainnet" and the other is the number below "Account 1". "Ethereum Mainnet" is your network selector. The number below "Account 1" is your wallet's address.

### **Step 8**: Familiarize yourself with your new wallet. The colorful icon is essentially your profile. It allows you to create new accounts (new addresses) and import accounts using private keys.
