To use Synthetix, all you just need is an Ethereum compatible wallet (EVM Wallet).
You may also use an email address, Google Login or Telegram once live.
Using an EVM Wallet
An EVM wallet is both your digital wallet and your account for most Web3 apps.
There are many options for wallets, from browser extensions to hardware wallets.
💡 Tip: Do your own research to know which one is the best for you.
How to get an EVM Wallet
Install a wallet app or purchase a hardware wallet.
Follow the setup steps carefully.
Write down your seed phrase and store it offline.
💡 Tip: Never share your seed phrase even with Synthetix support.
Add a small amount of ETH to your wallet for gas fees.
Connecting your Wallet to Synthetix

On the top right corner, click 'Connect Wallet'.
Your wallet extension will pop up.
