It’s the life-hack you need to know.

Let me guess — you’ve recently found out about Sylo’s Smart Wallet, that can integrate any non-custodial wallet in the world, and now you want to learn how to use it for yourself?

Well, you’ve come to the right place.

This piece will highlight how you can get the best out of your Sylo Wallet. Namely, by using it as a ‘one-stop-shop’ for all your crypto.

But first, let’s take a peek underneath the hood, so you can understand how it all actually works.

Sylo utilises a hierarchical deterministic wallet (HD wallet) in order to support multiple blockchains and assets, and make them accessible and transactable via the Sylo platform.

If you are now thinking that maybe it’s not wise or safe to put all your eggs in one basket, I can assure you that all imported wallets still exist stand-alone.

[Which means that it’s still important to keep your secret phrases, for all of your wallets, in a safe, accessible location.]

But on with the good stuff…

Here’s how to add your favourite wallet, for example MetaMask, into Sylo.

1. Open your Sylo app and tap on the Wallet icon at the bottom menu to unlock the wallet.

2. Now use the gear icon at the top right corner to enter your settings and choose ‘Import Wallet’.

3. Here you’ll need to enter your MetaMask’s secret phrase, and choose a name for this wallet.

…

That’s all!

Now you can use your MetaMask wallet right in Sylo, even send or request money using your MetaMask addresses.

A thing to note though, is that if you log out from your Sylo account and log in again, or access your Sylo account using another device, you’ll have to import the wallets again, so you’ll need to repeat the steps above.

Remember I said that your imported wallets still exist separately from your Sylo account?

In the decentralised world we don’t keep any data on any servers, so think of the need to keep your secret phrases handy as security insurance for your assets.

Now if you haven’t created a Sylo account yet, I have a life-hack for you…

Don’t create another account, just choose ‘Log in’ and enter your secret phrase from MetaMask or any other BIP 39 compatible wallet.

Afterwards, you’ll just need to choose a name and an avatar, and you’re ready to go!

Awesome, right?!

Why MetaMask, you ask? How? What about the other wallets?

Well of course you can add other BIP 39 compatible wallets as well, I’ve just picked up MetaMask as an example.

Mew, Blockchain, Jax, Coinbase, Exodus, BRD, and Trust are examples of other popular wallets you’ll also be able to import to Sylo.

Basically, whatever wallet are you using right now, try using it in Sylo! It’ll make your life easier and enhance your experience, while helping you to get the best out of your digital assets.

You’re welcome!
