# How to Create Your Walley Wallet on the Canton Network

> Set up your self-custody Walley wallet with a passkey and recovery phrase in minutes. No passwords required — your keys stay on your device.

Walley is a non-custodial wallet built for the Canton Network. Because you control your own keys, no server ever touches your credentials — setup takes just a few minutes and starts with an invite code.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get your invite code">
    Walley is currently invite-only. If you already have an invite code, keep it handy for the next step.

    <Note>
      Don't have an invite code yet? Visit [walley.cc](https://walley.cc) and join the waitlist. You'll receive an invite code by email when a spot opens up.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the registration page">
    Navigate to [walley.cc](https://walley.cc) and click **Create Wallet**. Enter your invite code when prompted, then click **Continue**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your Party Hint">
    Your Party Hint is your public identity on the Canton Network. It must start with the `walley-` prefix, followed by a label you choose — for example, `walley-alice`.

    * Use only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens after the prefix.
    * Your Party Hint is permanent and visible to other network participants, so choose something you're comfortable sharing.

    Type your desired label into the **Party Hint** field. Walley automatically prepends `walley-` for you. Click **Continue** once the label is confirmed as available.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your passkey">
    Click **Create Wallet with Passkey**. Your browser opens a WebAuthn prompt asking you to authenticate using your device's biometrics (Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello) or PIN.

    <Tip>
      Passkeys are tied to your device and browser. If you plan to access Walley from multiple devices, make sure your passkey is synced through your platform's credential manager (iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, etc.) before proceeding.
    </Tip>

    Complete the biometric or PIN prompt. Walley registers your passkey without transmitting any private key material to the server.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save your 24-word recovery phrase">
    Immediately after passkey creation, Walley generates a 24-word BIP-39 recovery phrase entirely in your browser. This phrase is the **only** way to recover your wallet if you lose access to your passkey.

    Write down all 24 words **in order** on paper and store them somewhere secure and offline — a fireproof safe or a safety deposit box are good options.

    <Warning>
      Your recovery phrase is shown exactly once and is never sent to any server. If you lose it, your wallet cannot be recovered by anyone, including Walley. Do not save it in a notes app, screenshot it, or share it with anyone.
    </Warning>

    Confirm your backup by re-entering the requested words from your phrase when prompted, then click **Continue**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Access your wallet">
    You now land on your Walley dashboard. Your Party Hint appears in the top navigation bar confirming your identity on the Canton Network. Your wallet is ready to use.
