How to Install Munn Wallet on Your Phone
In the following article, we will show you how to install Munn Wallet on your mobile phone. This application can be installed on both Android and iOS devices.
Munn Wallet is not an app developed by Abarai. The purpose of this article is purely informational for users who want to install a Bitcoin wallet. We are not responsible for any issues you may have with this app and cannot provide technical support for it.
If you already have a Bitcoin wallet and want to buy or sell Bitcoin, you can use the services of Abarai. The platform offers you multiple payment methods and multiple currencies (RON, EUR, USD, GBP, CHF). Our service is the fastest crypto exchange in Romania. You don’t need to create an account, and the fees are low compared to other similar services.
Steps to Set Up a New Bitcoin Wallet:
Download the app from App Store or Google Play.
Create a new wallet – “Create a new wallet”.
Choose a pin code that you will remember, as you will use this pin code to log into the app later.
Confirm the pin code chosen in the previous step (enter the same code you entered in step 3).
Congratulations! You’ve created your Bitcoin wallet, now you can receive or send Bitcoin.
The next step is to create a recovery method for your wallet. If you lose your phone or encounter other issues, you will be able to recover your funds. Under the “receive” and “send” buttons, press “Back-up your wallet’.
Create a method to recover your wallet in case you change your phone or install the app on another device.
We recommend not using your email address for backup because if you are a victim of a cyber attack, you risk losing access to the wallet.
The next method is to write down a series of words on a piece of paper that you will use when you want to recover your wallet.
Confirm the words written on paper in the previous step, and keep the paper in a safe place.
Why is it important to have your own Bitcoin wallet?
The concept of “self-custody” refers to the process of storing your cryptocurrencies yourself. You are the only one who has access to the private keys. Only you have access to the series of words with which the wallet can be recovered.
The difference between a self-custody wallet and a crypto exchange?
Self-custody or non-custodial wallet
If you use a self-custody wallet, only you can initiate a transaction or perform operations on the wallet. Only the person who holds the private keys can control the funds.
We recommend keeping the recovery words “seed words” on a piece of paper in a safe place, never in a public place or where there is a risk of confusing it with other documents. The paper should be kept like an important document, such as a birth certificate.
Crypto exchange wallet
When you store cryptocurrencies on a crypto exchange like Binance or Crypto.com, you must be aware that you are not in control of your funds. The exchange platform controls your funds.
When you create an account on such a platform, you receive a deposit address. That address is controlled by the exchange platform. If you want to withdraw cryptocurrencies or funds from that platform, you must request approval, so your transaction initially goes into “pending,” and then, after the platform’s approval, you can withdraw the cryptocurrencies or money.
If the exchange wishes to freeze your funds for various reasons, they have the ability because they control your cryptocurrency wallet.
Advantages of Using a Self-Custodial or Non-Custodial Wallet
Complete control over your funds: You are the only one who can control your funds, the private keys are stored on your own device and not on an exchange platform’s servers.
Increased security: Because all funds are kept on your device, security is much higher than that offered by an exchange platform like Binance or Crypto.com
Privacy and anonymity: On an exchange platform, each transaction is associated with your user and the event is recorded on the platform’s servers. For example, you cannot send money to your brother or cousin from an exchange platform without the transaction being recorded as yours.
Financial independence: Users can always make transactions without considering the policies and financial availabilities of an exchange platform, and even more, they can trade regardless of the policies of the state they are in.
Disadvantages of Using a Custodial Cryptocurrency Exchange
Security risk: The cryptocurrency exchange stores your funds and for this reason, your funds are much more vulnerable. Exchanges are among the preferred targets for hackers because they store large amounts of money and present many vulnerabilities.
Risk of exchange insolvency: If a custodial exchange goes bankrupt or becomes insolvent, users may not recover their funds. Legal procedures can be long and complicated. Although some exchanges claim to have insurance on all funds, in reality, it may take years or even not get the money back in the event of insolvency/cyber attack.
Withdrawal limitations: Some exchanges may impose withdrawal limits or even freeze funds in accounts, especially in situations of financial or legal uncertainty. They may require additional documents that put the user in difficulty, thus delaying access to funds.
More severe government regulations: Custodial exchanges are subject to much stricter regulations and compliance requirements than non-custodial ones. This is because they are digital wallet providers and have much greater responsibilities than a non-custodial exchange, which only performs the actual exchange and does not store client funds.
