New desktop users:

Step 1: Select “Create New Wallet”

Step 2: Back up your Secret Key.

You’ll need it to access your wallet on a new device, or to access it if you lose your password – so make sure you back it up in a safe place!

Your Secret Key is the most important part of your new wallet:

• Whoever has access to your Secret Key will have access to the wallet’s funds.
• If you lose it, you lose access to your wallet and its funds.
• Secret Key is the only way to recover your wallet.

Step 3: Create a secure password to access your new wallet. This password will only be used to secure your Leather Wallet in your current browser profile. Enter your password and click “Continue”

Step 4: Deposit BTC and Ordinals on Leather Wallet:

Open the Leather app, click on “Receive”. You’ll see a new window open up with two options: “Tokens” and “Collectibles”. Go ahead and select “Collectibles”.

You will see Ordinal Inscription, Bitcoin Stamp and Stacks NFT addresses.

To deposit Bitcoin you must use the Bitcoin address, and to deposit Ordinals you must use the Ordinals address.

Note: Ordinals address always starts with bc1p (Taproot address).

Existing Desktop Users:

Step 1: Click on “Use existing key”

Step 2: Enter your Secret Key to restore your wallets.
