Setup Your Safepal Wallet Extension A Guide to Installation and Key Functions

Install the SafePal Wallet Extension directly from the official Chrome Web Store or SafePal website to ensure you get the legitimate software. This browser add-on creates a secure gateway for managing your crypto assets without needing your hardware device for every single transaction.

Once installed, you have a clear choice: generate a brand new software wallet for daily use or connect your existing SafePal S1 hardware wallet for enhanced security. The extension seamlessly integrates with the hardware, allowing you to propose transactions from your browser which are then securely signed offline on your S1 device, keeping your private keys completely isolated.

You will manage over 100 blockchains and thousands of tokens within a single interface. The extension supports direct swaps across multiple decentralized exchanges, shows real-time gas fees on Ethereum, and lets you view your NFT collections. You can also stake certain assets like BNB or Solana directly from the portfolio view to earn rewards.

For optimal safety, use the extension alongside your SafePal S1 hardware wallet for asset storage. Enable the built-in phishing detection feature, which warns you about suspicious websites. Always verify transaction details on your hardware wallet’s screen before approving, and consider using the “Lock Extension” function for automatic locking after a period of inactivity.

Safepal Wallet Extension: Setup Guide & Features Overview

Download the Safepal Extension only from the official Chrome Web Store or the SafelPal website to avoid fake software. Click ‘Add to Chrome’ and confirm the installation; the extension icon will appear in your browser’s toolbar.

Open the extension and select ‘Create Wallet’. Write down the 12-word recovery phrase on paper, store it securely offline, and confirm the phrase by selecting the words in the correct order. This phrase is the only way to restore your assets if you switch devices.

Set a strong password for daily access to the extension. For added security, connect your Safepal Hardware Wallet. The extension works directly with S1 and S1 Pro devices, allowing you to sign transactions with a physical button press while keeping private keys offline.

Manage over 100,000 tokens across more than 30 blockchains. Use the built-in swap feature to exchange assets directly within the interface; it aggregates rates from multiple DEXs to find you a good price. The ‘Bridge’ function lets you move assets between different chains, like sending ETH from Ethereum to BNB Smart Chain.

Connect to decentralized applications by clicking the extension icon when on a supported DApp site. You can approve transactions and interact with DeFi protocols like Uniswap or PancakeSwap seamlessly. Always verify the transaction details on the pop-up before signing.

Track your portfolio value and recent transactions in the main dashboard. Use the ‘Buy’ feature with a card through third-party partners to purchase crypto directly into your wallet. Regularly check for extension updates in the Chrome store to ensure you have the latest security patches and features.

Installing the Safepal Extension and Creating a New Wallet

Open the Chrome Web Store or the official Safari extensions gallery from your browser.

Search for “Safepal Wallet” and select the extension published by “Safepal Technology Co., Limited.”

Click the “Add to Chrome” or “Add to Safari” button; a confirmation dialog will appear for you to approve the installation.

Once installed, locate the Safepal icon in your browser’s toolbar and click it to launch the setup.

Choose “Create Wallet” on the welcome screen. You will see a prompt to set a strong password for securing the extension’s local access.

The next screen displays your 12-word secret recovery phrase. Write each word in the exact order on your physical recovery sheet.

Confirm you have written the phrase down, then accurately select the words in the correct sequence when prompted to verify your backup.

Your new wallet is now active. The extension interface will show your asset balance; you can receive crypto by sharing your public address.

For increased security, connect a Safepal hardware wallet to the extension later for transaction approvals.

Connecting Your Existing Hardware Wallet to the Extension

Confirm your hardware wallet is a Ledger or Trezor device, as these are currently supported. Install the SafePal extension from the official Chrome Web Store first, then create a new extension wallet.

Open your new SafePal extension wallet and locate the ‘Connect Hardware Wallet’ option in the settings menu. With your Ledger device, ensure the Ledger Live application is completely closed on your computer to avoid connection conflicts. For a Trezor, have the Trezor Bridge or Trezor Suite software installed and running.

Connect your hardware wallet to your computer using its original USB cable. Unlock the device by entering your PIN directly on its screen. Navigate to and open the specific app for the blockchain you want to use, like the Ethereum app for ERC-20 tokens, directly on your hardware wallet’s display.

Return to the SafePal extension interface and select your hardware wallet brand. The extension will search for and display your device’s public address. Choose the correct derivation path if prompted; the default path is suitable for most users. You will now see a read-only view of your hardware wallet’s balance within the SafePal interface.

To authorize any transaction, you must physically confirm it on your hardware wallet’s screen. The SafePal extension will prepare the transaction details, but final approval always happens on your device’s secure display. This process keeps your private keys isolated and never exposes them to your internet-connected browser.

Managing Assets and Using the Built-In Swap Function

Open your SafePal extension and click ‘Assets’ to see your complete portfolio. The interface automatically groups your tokens by network, showing balances and their current value.

To add a new token you own that isn’t visible, scroll down in the Assets tab and select ‘Add Token’. You can search by name or paste the token’s contract address directly for absolute accuracy, ensuring you see even your newest holdings.

Swapping tokens is integrated directly into the wallet view. Here’s how to exchange assets:

Click the ‘Swap’ button, usually found prominently in the asset view.

Choose the network (like BNB Chain or Ethereum) for your swap.

Select the token you want to trade from and the token you want to receive.

The extension displays a real-time exchange rate and estimated fees. You can adjust slippage tolerance in the settings cog if needed.

Review all details and confirm the transaction. The extension will show a clear status as it processes.

For the best rates, the swap function aggregates liquidity from multiple decentralized exchanges. You can sometimes get a better price by comparing different liquidity sources within the swap interface before confirming.

Always verify the network and token contract addresses during a swap. A small test transaction is wise when dealing with large sums or unfamiliar tokens. Your assets remain under your control throughout the entire process; the extension simply facilitates the trade on-chain.

Q&A:

How do I install the Safepal browser extension?

First, visit the official Chrome Web Store or the official Safepal website to find the extension. Click “Add to Chrome” and confirm the installation. Once added, you’ll see the Safepal icon in your browser toolbar. Click it to begin the setup process, which involves creating a new wallet or importing an existing one using a seed phrase or private key.

Can I use the Safepal extension with my hardware wallet?

Yes, the extension supports integration with Safepal’s own hardware wallets. After installing the extension, connect your Safepal S1 or other compatible hardware device via USB. The extension will detect it, allowing you to approve transactions directly from your hardware wallet for improved security, keeping your private keys offline.

What are the main differences between the Safpal extension and the mobile app?

The mobile app is a full-featured, standalone wallet for managing assets on the go, with built-in swap features and NFT display. The browser extension is designed primarily for interacting with decentralized applications (dApps) on websites. It acts as a bridge, letting you connect your wallet to sites like Uniswap or OpenSea directly from your desktop browser for easier trading and interactions.

Is the extension safe from phishing attacks?

The extension includes security features to help identify threats. It can check and display the security level of connected websites. However, you must still be careful. Always verify website URLs before connecting your wallet and never enter your seed phrase on any website. The extension itself will never ask for your seed phrase; it only requests transaction approvals.

I imported my wallet, but my tokens aren’t showing. What should I do?

This is common. The wallet may not automatically display all token types. Go to the asset section within the extension and look for an option like “Add Token” or “Custom Token.” You will need the token’s contract address for the specific network it’s on (like BSC or Ethereum). Find this address on a reliable block explorer, paste it, and the token symbol and balance should appear.
