You had to write down 24 words. You had to hide them in a safe. You lived in constant fear of losing a piece of paper. For years, this "seed phrase fatigue" was the barrier to entry for self-custody. Vala Wallet changes that. Getting started is fast, browser-based, and designed to feel like a modern app, not a complex math problem. Here is exactly how to get started. Step 1: Open Vala Go to [vala-wallet.cc](https://vala-wallet.cc/) in your browser. There is: - No app to download. - No browser extension to install. Vala runs directly in your browser on desktop, tablet, or mobile. By removing the installation step, Vala removes the first and biggest point of friction. Step 2: Enter Your Invite Code Vala is currently onboarding users in phases to ensure platform stability.. To begin, you need a valid invite code. Enter your code on the landing page to unlock the onboarding flow. This ensures a stable experience for every new user on the Canton Network. Step 3: Choose Your Username Pick a unique identity. Usernames must be at least 3 characters (letters and numbers only). As you type, Vala shows you a preview of your wallet address. This username is how you will be identified within the Canton AllFi ecosystem. Step 4: Create Your Wallet with a Passkey This is where the magic happens. Instead of a complex password, Vala uses WebAuthn passkeys. Depending on your device, you will use: - Face ID - Touch ID - Device PIN or Windows Hello Vala uses this secure hardware-level authentication to generate and encrypt your wallet keys locally. Technical Truth: Your keys are generated in your browser's IndexedDB. If your device supports it, Vala uses "PRF" encryption: the strongest hardware-bound security available. If your device is older, Vala offers a secure password fallback. Step 5: Secure Your Backup Vala is a true self-custody wallet. That means you are in control. After your wallet is created, Vala displays a private key backup. It is blurred by default for your privacy. Reveal it, copy it, and store it in a secure location (like a password manager). This is your ultimate recovery tool if you ever lose access to your device. No one, including Vala, can recover your funds if you lose this key. Step 6: Final Configuration Before you hit the dashboard, Vala performs a few automated setup steps to ensure your wallet is optimized for the Canton Network: - Allocating your Party ID: Your unique identifier on the network. - Activating UTXO Merging: A background feature that keeps your wallet efficient. - Wallet Proxy & Auto-Accept: Setting up the infrastructure to interact with external dApps and receive transfers automatically. Once these are green, you are in. ## What Happened Under the Hood? The simplicity of the UI hides a sophisticated, zero-knowledge architecture. During those 60 seconds, your private keys were generated entirely on your device. At no point did those keys: Leave your browser. Pass through a Vala server. Get stored in a central database. Vala is a non-custodial interface. Your keys are generated and stored on your device — they never touch our servers. We provide the software; you provide the keys. ## Why This Matters Traditional onboarding is fragile. Seed phrases are easy to lose and hard to manage. Ready to join the Canton AllFi ecosystem?
