Before you can begin purchasing or mining Monero (XMR), you must first set up a wallet. Visit xrnrwallet.com to create your Monero wallet.
After selecting “Create XMR Wallet,” you’ll be shown “Your seed.”
This seed, also known as a 25-word mnemonic phrase, is critical for recovering your wallet. Write it down by hand and store it in a secure location. Experts recommend making three copies and storing them separately to ensure access if one is lost. Never share your seed phrase with anyone unless you trust them completely.
Click the button labeled “I’VE WRITTEN DOWN MY SEED, LOG ME IN.”
Once logged in, your wallet will begin syncing with the Monero blockchain. The red progress bar labeled “Height” will turn green once synchronization is complete. It’s essential to wait until syncing finishes before sending any XMR. The height reflects the most recent block your wallet has connected to.
Your current XMR balance will be displayed in the top right corner of every page on XMRWallet. Navigation tabs like “Transactions,” “Send,” and “Receive” are located on both the top and left-hand menu.
The “Your address” section displays your primary Monero wallet address. It starts with a 4 and is 95 characters long. To enhance your privacy, click “View subaddresses.” You’ll see multiple unique addresses. Use these when requesting XMR to maintain privacy between transactions. Subaddresses let you receive Monero without revealing your main address. You can assign different subaddresses for specific use cases like exchanges, freelancing, or personal transfers.
To receive Monero, either click “Receive” from the left-hand menu or select “View” under the Receive section on your Account Overview page.
Your wallet address will be displayed again along with a copy icon. Click it to easily copy and share the address. However, it’s recommended to use one of your subaddresses for better privacy. You’ll find them further down this page by clicking “View subaddresses.” Although labeling and entering an amount is optional, it can be useful when you’re expecting recurring payments.
To send Monero, choose “Send” from the left menu or click “View” under the Send option in Account Overview.
Enter the recipient’s address and the amount of XMR you want to send. A conversion into USD will automatically display in the USD Amount field to help you track the fiat value.
To view all your transactions, click on “Transactions” from the left-hand menu or the “View” button under Transactions in Account Overview.
Since Monero emphasizes privacy, transactions are not publicly viewable on the blockchain. However, your wallet does provide key transaction information including a Transaction ID. You can input this ID into a Monero blockchain explorer like Explore Monero to confirm payments or generate a send receipt as proof of transaction.
If you need help at any point, click the “Support” tab. To log out, simply click “Quit.”
XMRWallet is accessible from any device—desktop, tablet, or smartphone—and works even on the Tor network. As a lightweight and privacy-respecting platform, it allows you to start sending and receiving Monero immediately after wallet creation. No registration or personal data is required, maintaining the anonymity that Monero guarantees.
