# Getting started with InfraIO Wallet

**InfraIO Wallet** is a **non-custodial** smart-account wallet. A passkey on
your device (Face ID, Touch ID or a security key) authorizes everything you
do. InfraIO Pay never holds your keys or your recovery phrase.

## 1. Create your wallet

Open the InfraIO Wallet section of the app and choose to create a new wallet.
The app creates a passkey on your device. Approve the prompt with Face ID,
Touch ID or your device PIN.

Your wallet is a smart account (ERC-4337, Kernel). It has **the same address on
every EVM network**, so one address works for Ethereum, Base and any other
EVM network you use.

## 2. Check your passkey backup

A passkey can sync through your device account or password manager, so it
survives a lost phone. Keep that sync turned on. It is how you restore the
wallet on a new phone. See [Recovery and new phone](https://docs.infraio.xyz/en/wallet/recovery).

> **Note:**
>
> Some phones cannot use passkeys. On those phones the app creates a **device
> key** wallet instead. A device key wallet **requires** a recovery phrase,
> because the key lives only on that phone.

## 3. Decide on a recovery phrase

For a passkey wallet the recovery phrase is **optional**, and we recommend it
as an extra backup. You need it in two cases:

- your wallet is a device key wallet, or
- you want to remove your last passkey.

Write the words on paper, in order, and keep them offline. Anyone who has the
phrase can control your wallet, and InfraIO Pay can never recover it for you.

## 4. Get your address and receive

Open **Receive**, choose a network and a token, and share the QR code or the
share card. Receiving works right away, even before the wallet is set up on a
network. See [Receive and send](https://docs.infraio.xyz/en/wallet/receive-send).

## Multiple wallets

You can keep more than one wallet in the app and switch between them. Each
wallet has its own passkey and, if you choose, its own recovery phrase.
