In the next chapter of the Internet, wallets replace usernames and passwords. They’re how you prove who you are, what you’ve done, and what you own — all without relying on a centralized authority. At Nexus, we believe this future should be accessible to everyone, not just crypto natives.

That’s why we partnered with Dynamic to make wallet creation effortless. Whether you’re a developer exploring verifiable computation, a user claiming onchain credentials, or someone simply curious about web3, your Nexus wallet is your entry point.

Here’s how to get started in under two minutes.

What is a Web3 wallet?

A Web3 wallet is like a secure digital vault. It lets you interact with decentralized applications (dapps), store digital assets like tokens or credentials, and prove your identity without needing a third party. Unlike traditional accounts that rely on passwords stored on servers, Web3 wallets use cryptographic keys to authorize actions.

This can sound intimidating, especially when people talk about private keys, seed phrases, and hardware wallets. But with modern systems like Nexus + Dynamic, you get the power of a Web3 wallet without needing to manage any of those complexities yourself.

When you create a wallet on Nexus, Dynamic handles the technical setup and secure key management behind the scenes. You log in with familiar methods (like email), but you still retain control over your wallet and its contents. It’s self-custody, made simple.

Why Web3 wallets matter more than ever

Web3 wallets are quickly becoming foundational to how people interact online. They’re not just tools for holding crypto — they’re becoming essential infrastructure for identity, access, and ownership.

Think of your wallet as your digital passport. It can verify who you are across apps, store records of what you’ve done (like completing a course or participating in a project), and give you access to features, rewards, or communities based on your onchain history.

As the internet shifts toward systems that are more open, composable, and user-owned, wallets are taking the place of usernames and centralized logins. They enable new models of interaction that are both more secure and more empowering. And the best part? You don’t need to be an expert to start using one.

Step 1: Go to app.nexus.xyz

Start by visiting our app in any browser. There are no downloads, plugins, or extensions to worry about. Everything you need to get started is built right into the site.

Step 2: Sign up

On the homepage, you’ll find a clearly labeled button to “Sign up” in the right hand corner. Click it to begin the onboarding process. From there, you’re just a few clicks away from having your own wallet.

Step 3: Choose your login method

You can sign up using your email address or a Google account. After signing up you can also connect your Discord or X handles to unlock future social features. These options are all handled securely by Dynamic, which takes care of the technical setup in the background. You don’t need to know anything about crypto to get started.

Step 4: Your wallet is live

And that’s it. Once you’ve logged in, your wallet is ready to go. It’s fully self-custodial, meaning you control it, and it lives onchain, ready to be used with apps across the Nexus ecosystem and beyond.

What makes this wallet different?

Traditional wallets often require users to manage seed phrases or private keys — a significant point of friction and risk. With Nexus, there are no seed phrases to remember or lose. Your login credentials serve as your access method, making the experience feel familiar and intuitive.

Unlike basic wallets, Nexus wallets are smart contracts. This means they come with advanced features like programmable permissions, batch transactions, and recovery options that can be customized in the future. Behind the scenes, Dynamic abstracts away the complexity so that everything just works. You get the benefits of verifiability and control, with the simplicity of logging into any modern app.

These wallets aren’t just for holding tokens. They’re built to support credentials, onchain participation, and evolving forms of reputation and identity.

What can you do with your wallet?

Once set up, your wallet lets you interact with everything Nexus has to offer. You’ll be able to earn rewards, verify your participation in events or communities, and tap into a growing range of verifiable apps.

We’re constantly expanding what’s possible with your wallet. New features and integrations are added regularly, and your wallet ensures you’re always ready to take advantage of them.

How your wallet stays secure

Behind the scenes Dynamic uses a multi-layered approach to protect your wallet, including advanced technologies like encryption, Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), and Threshold Signature Schemes (TSS-MPC). These systems work together to safeguard your credentials and ensure only you can access your wallet.

Dynamic regularly undergoes independent audits, maintains SOC 2 Type II compliance, and runs a public bug bounty program to catch potential issues before they become problems. Real-time monitoring helps detect threats quickly, and automated defenses kick in when needed.

They also take transparency seriously. Developers and users are kept in the loop, and security is treated as a shared responsibility. One critical reminder: Staff from the Dynamic or the Nexus team will never ask for your login codes or secrets. If you get a request like that, it’s likely a scam and should be reported.

You’re ready

Your Nexus wallet is more than a key. It’s your identity in the new internet. Thanks to our integration with Dynamic, setting it up is as simple as signing in. But what you get in return is powerful: control, interoperability, and access to a future shaped by open, verifiable systems.

Take a minute to set yours up. You’ll be ready for everything that comes next.
