Safe ronin wallet setup guide for beginners

Download the browser extension exclusively from the official project repository on GitHub or the verified Chrome Web Store listing. Avoid any search engine result or third-party link promising a "better" or "faster" version, as phishing clones are the primary attack vector for new users. After installation, pin the extension to your toolbar for immediate visibility of transaction requests.


Generate your 12-word recovery phrase only when your computer is disconnected from the internet and no screen recording software is active. Write these words onto two separate sheets of thick paper using a pencil (ink can smudge or fade over decades). Do not store this phrase in any digital file, cloud service, screenshot, or password manager app. The phrase is the single point of failure for your entire identity; treat it with the same physical security as a house key.


Once the phrase is physically recorded, re-enter it immediately on the same offline device to confirm accuracy. A single misspelled word or incorrect order during this test renders your recovery phrase useless. Delete the wallet from your browser, then restore it using only those written words to verify the process works end-to-end before sending any assets into the wallet.


Create a second "secret" sub-account (often labeled as a legacy or HD account) within the same extension. Transfer the bulk of your tokens into this hidden account while keeping a minimal amount (e.g., 2-5 USD equivalent in gas tokens) in the first visible account for day-to-day interactions. This segregation ensures that a malicious website or dApp only gains access to your low-balance surface account, not your primary holdings.

Safe Ronin Wallet Setup for Beginners Guide

Download the extension only from the official Axie Infinity website, not from an app store search or a Google ad. Check the publisher is "Sky Mavis" and verify the Chrome Web Store listing ID is `enloddfcjbgdafccmhbkmdnonkjliekl`. Any variation is a phishing trap. Do not proceed if the extension requests permissions to "read and change all your data on websites you visit" before you even create a vault.


Generate your recovery seed phrase offline. Disconnect your internet, open Notepad (not a browser), and write down the 12-word list strictly in the numbered order provided. Use a metal stamping kit to engrave these words onto steel washers for fire and flood protection; paper degrades. Store the steel backup in a separate physical location from your hardware wallet, if you use one. Never store this phrase in a password manager, screenshot, email draft, or cloud file.


Create a secondary Chrome profile dedicated solely to blockchain interactions. This prevents cross-site tracking cookies and malicious extensions from accessing your vault data. Pin the vault extension to the toolbar and disable all other extensions within this profile. Enable "two-button click" for transaction signing in the extension’s settings, which forces a manual confirmation window every time you move tokens.


Add a hardware wallet like Ledger Nano S/X as a signer inside the extension before depositing any significant capital. Navigate to the extension’s account settings, connect the hardware device via USB, and set it as the "Signing Method". This creates a whitelist where the browser extension can only initiate a transaction; the physical device must approve the actual cryptographic signature. Test this with a 0.001 ETH transfer to a secondary address you control.


Immediately upon first deposit, revoke all token approvals for every decentralized application you do not actively use. Use a block explorer or a dedicated approval tracking site to locate and cancel any ERC-20 or ERC-721 allowances. Leave zero approved spending limits. For any dApp you must use, set the allowance to the exact amount required for that single transaction, then revoke it immediately afterward. Repeat this check every 30 days.

Downloading the Official Ronin Extension from the Chrome Web Store

Only download the extension from the official Chrome Web Store page titled "Ronin Wallet" by Sky Mavis. Any copycat listing, even with a similar icon or name like "Ronin – Wallet," is a phishing trap designed to steal your private keys. Check the publisher directly; it must be "Sky Mavis," and verify the extension has at least 2 million users before proceeding.


Do not search for "Ronin" in the Chrome store via a generic Google search. Scammers pay for malicious ads that appear above the real listing. Instead, type chrome.google.com/webstore into your address bar manually, then search for "Ronin" within the store interface. Look for the verified publisher badge and a high review count (over 10,000 ratings). If the extension requests permissions to "read and change all your data on websites you visit" during installation, that is legitimate for signing transactions, but be suspicious if the permission list includes access to your browser history or clipboard without explicit justification in the developer description.


Click "Add to Chrome" only after confirming the store URL starts with https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ronin-wallet/. The extension ID at the end of that URL bjajbakbkkpbfdoflatbbdbkjjjahbca is the sole correct identifier for the authentic Sky Mavis build. Write this ID down independently, and cross-check it against the ID displayed in the browser's extension management page (chrome://extensions) after installation to confirm zero modification.


After clicking "Add," a pop-up will list the required permissions. The extension needs to "Read and change your data on ronin-chain.com" and "Communicate with cooperating native applications" to bridge the browser with the gaming client. Reject any installation that asks for permission to "Access your browsing history" or "Manage your downloads," as these are not required for a non-custodial signing interface. If the pop-up lists any unknown hostnames like *.malicious-site.com, cancel immediately and report the listing to the Chrome team.


Once installed, pin the extension to your toolbar by clicking the puzzle piece icon in Chrome and selecting the pin next to "Ronin Wallet." Immediately open the extension and verify its version number matches the latest release posted on the official Sky Mavis support page (currently 2.7.0 or higher). Do not sync this extension across devices using Chrome profiles; install it fresh on each machine where you intend to sign transactions, as syncing a seed phrase through cloud accounts defeats the purpose of a self-custody tool.

Creating Your Wallet and Writing Down the 12-Word Seed Phrase Offline

Install Ronin Wallet on Google Chrome the browser extension from the official project website only. Verify the URL directly; do not click sponsored ads or third-party links. After installation, select the option to generate a new storage container. The interface will present a sequence of 12 distinct English words. This sequence is the seed phrase, the master key controlling all associated accounts.


Do not type the seed phrase into any file, note app, or take a screenshot. Type it exclusively on a piece of paper using a pen. Use a physical notebook or index card kept in a secure location. Prepare at least two handwritten copies stored separately to mitigate loss risks from fire or water damage.


Each word must be legible. Write the words in the exact order they appear. Number them from 1 to 12. Verify each word against the original sequence before closing the confirmation window. The extension will ask you to confirm a random subset of words, usually three, to ensure you recorded them correctly.

Keep the paper disconnected from all electronic devices during the entire process. Unplug your internet cable or disable Wi-Fi before generating the phrase if you suspect any malware. A physically isolated computer (air-gapped) running a live Linux distribution from a USB stick offers the highest security for this specific step.


Avoid storing the phrase in a password manager, cloud storage, email draft, or encrypted container that requires internet access for decryption. The single point of failure for a self-custodied account is the seed phrase being exposed online. Offline paper is the only medium immune to remote data breaches.


Test the paper record immediately. Delete the browser extension, reinstall it from the official source, and select the "Import existing container" option. Enter the 12 words exactly as written. If the import succeeds and displays the same account address, your record is accurate. If it fails, you have a typo or wrong sequence; restart the entire process from scratch.


Store each copy in a separate physical location. A fireproof home safe for one copy and a bank safety deposit box for the second copy is a practical standard. Do not laminate the paper; heat from lamination processes can degrade ink or paper over decades. Use archival-quality, acid-free paper and pigment-based ink for longevity.


Never share the full sequence with any person or service. Any entity asking for all 12 words is attempting theft. Legitimate recovery interfaces never request the full phrase outside of import screens. Treat the paper as you would a physical key to a vault containing your entire asset base. Loss of the paper equals irreversible access loss.

Q&A:
I just installed the Ronin wallet extension. What is the single most important step I need to do right now, before anything else?

The absolute first thing you need to do is find the "Secret Recovery Phrase" (sometimes called a seed phrase). This is a list of 12 random words that the wallet shows you once during setup. You must write these words down on paper, exactly in the order they appear. Do not type them into a note on your phone, take a screenshot, or save them in a cloud service. If you lose your phone or your computer crashes, those 12 words are the only way to get your money back. Nobody from Ronin support, nor any website, will ever ask you for these words. Guard them like a physical key to a vault.













I just installed the Ronin Wallet extension on my browser. I see a 12-word recovery phrase. Is it safe to store a screenshot of these words in my cloud drive or notes app?

No, please avoid doing that. A screenshot saved to your cloud drive (like Google Drive or iCloud) or stored in a text file on your computer or phone is very vulnerable. If a hacker gets access to your email or cloud account, they have your entire wallet. The safest method is to write the 12 words down on paper with a pen. Store that paper in a secure place, like a fireproof safe. If you are worried about losing the paper, you can stamp the words into a metal sheet using a "crypto steel" kit, which is resistant to fire and water damage. Never type the words into your computer or phone.

I want to connect my Ronin wallet to a game like Axie Infinity without losing my crypto. What is the biggest mistake beginners make when they first set up their wallet?

The biggest mistake beginners make is clicking "Sign" or "Approve" on a pop-up window without reading what it says. When you connect to a game or website, a window will ask you to sign a message or approve a transaction. Scammers create fake websites that look exactly like the real game. They ask you to connect your wallet, and then ask you to approve a transaction that gives them permission to take all your tokens. Always double check the website URL (make sure it is the official .com, not a misspelled version). If a pop-up asks you to approve a transaction before you are actively buying or selling something in the game, close the browser tab immediately.
