# Create a Wallet

To get started on Autoscale, you need to set up a wallet that supports the MultiversX network. In decentralized finance, you have to use a non-custodial wallet - which means that you really own your assets, the wallet is managed only by you.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**When you're setting up a wallet, make sure to:** 

* **Never share** your recovery phrase with anyone other than your wallet app (we'll never ask your recovery phase)
* **Be wary** of fake websites, giveaways, or other malicious acts.
* **Safely back up** your recovery phrase (and don't loose it)
* **Follow** the setup guide carefully 
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Both xPortal and MultiversX DeFi Wallet are compatible with the MultiversX ecosystem, allowing users to import and manage their assets across both platforms. However, while xPortal supports only one wallet per account, MultiversX DeFi Wallet allows users to create and manage multiple wallets from within the web extension.
