Some important information to know before setting up your new Defly wallet is:

  • Your mnemonic phrase is your key! If you lose this you cannot access your wallet, never show it to anyone.

  • Defly is an Algorand wallet with unique DeFi trading features making it more suited for trading than your Pera Algorand Wallet.

  • Has its own token $DEFLY, that you can stake right in the wallet.

  • They are working on creating a browser version that should be available soon.
