# How to create or import a Multichain Wallet to Coin98 Extension

## Introduction

With the increasing number of public chains, most users prefer to hold multiple digital assets of the public chain at the same time. If each digital asset of a chain is placed in a single-chain wallet for storage and circulation, multiple assets would need to have multiple wallets. It is clearly very cumbersome for users to install and with multiple corresponding single-chain wallets at the same time, so we - **Coin98 Extension,** have developed a multi-chain wallet to help users both hold and interact easily.

## What is a Multi-Chain Wallet?

A Multi-Chain Wallet allows users to keep more than one crypto asset belonging to multiple blockchain networks.

Our latest version supports more than 100 blockchains such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Solana, Near, Avalanche, TRON, Polygon, Fantom, Heco ChainChain, GateChain, KuCoinChain, Polkadot, Kusama, Cosmos, THORChain, Terra, BandChain, Kava, Persistence, Viction, KardiaChain, Ronin, Celo, Klaytn, Harmony, Optimism, Boba Network, Arbitrum, etc.

## **Step-by-step to import a Multi-chain wallet**

If you already have a wallet, you can simply import it to Coin98 Extension to store coins/tokens as well as experience multiple AMMs and the Web3 Dapp directly on the Coin98 Extension.

To import a wallet to Coin98 Extension, you need its **Seed phrase**. Therefore, you should store the Seed phrase carefully from the moment of creating the wallet.

{% hint style="info" %}
Seed phrase and Private Key are security keys that can be understood as a type of password in which the Seed phrase consists of 12 random English keywords, while the Private Key consists of a string of letters and numbers.

If you want to restore access to your wallets, you must have ownership of the Seed phrases (used for restoring both Single Chain Wallet and Multichain Wallet) or Private Key (only used for restoring Single Chain Wallet).
