How to Create an ECX Wallet
Create a new self-custody eCash (ECX) wallet directly in your browser. ECXIUM generates your wallet locally so you remain in control of your Recovery Phrase and private keys.
Current Network Context
ECX launches in stages. Alpha and Beta use practice ECX for testing, while permanent ECX begins on Mainnet.

What Is an ECX Wallet?
An ECX wallet lets you store, receive and send eCash (ECX) while controlling the cryptographic keys associated with your wallet.
ECXIUM is a non-custodial web wallet. Wallet creation happens in your browser, and your Recovery Phrase is the backup that allows you to restore access later.
Creating an ECX wallet does not require an account, email address or transfer of custody to ECXIUM.
Self-Custody
Your wallet. Your Recovery Phrase. Your control.
How to Create a New ECX Wallet
STEP 2
Generate Your Wallet
ECXIUM creates a new wallet locally in your browser and generates the wallet's Recovery Phrase.
STEP 3
Back Up Your Recovery Phrase
Write down the Recovery Phrase and store it securely offline. It is the primary backup for restoring the wallet.
STEP 4
Confirm Your Backup
Complete the wallet setup only after confirming that the Recovery Phrase has been saved correctly.
STEP 5
Open Your ECX Wallet
Your wallet is ready to receive and manage ECX on the active ECX network.
Your Recovery Phrase Is the Wallet Backup
The Recovery Phrase is the most important backup for a newly created ECX wallet.
Anyone with access to the phrase may be able to restore and control the wallet. ECXIUM cannot recover a lost Recovery Phrase for you.

Already Have an Eligible Bitcoin Wallet?
If you already control an eligible Bitcoin wallet, you do not need to create a new ECX wallet simply to access the ECX associated with those Bitcoin keys.
Instead, import the eligible Bitcoin wallet into ECXIUM using a compatible Recovery Phrase or WIF private key.
ECXIUM detects the corresponding ECX and automatically handles safe coin splitting and replay protection where required.
