# Creating or Importing a Wallet

To get started with the **Revelator Wallet** app, download it from either the [**App Store**](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/revelator-wallet-unlock-web3/id1484642420?platform=iphone) or [**Google Play**](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.revelator.originalworks\&pli=1). 

You can create a new wallet or import an existing wallet you use in MetaMask, Trezor, Coinbase Wallet, or elsewhere. 

Follow the detailed instructions below for steps to either create a new Revelator Wallet or import your existing Ethereum-based wallet.

Download the Revelator Wallet from the [**App Store**](https://apps.apple.com/app/id1484642420?platform=iphone) and [**Google Play**](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.revelator.originalworks).

Most Ethereum-based wallets have a 12-word recovery phrase, which acts as the key to accessing your wallet. With your recovery phrase, you can transfer your wallet (and everything on it) from one wallet provider to another.
