Setting Up Your Account
For Voi Swarm to participate on the network, it is necessary to have Voi to stake on the network. This is done by setting up a Voi account and a Voi wallet.
If you are not ready for this yet, do not worry as you can always install Voi Swarm and setup your account later.
Setting Up a New Voi Account
To set up a new account, you need to install and use a wallet app. The wallet app will manage secure access to your tokens and can be used for sending and receiving Voi.
