### Create a Zen Card Wallet (Hybrid Wallet)

After adding your Zen Card to the Coin98 Super Wallet, the next step is to **add a wallet** to begin using it.

Go to the **Manage Zen Cards** section to view all your added cards, then find the one you want and tap **Set up Wallet.** You can either create a new wallet or import/migrate an existing one to your Zen Card.

#### 2.1. Create a new Zen Wallet:

If you’re new to Coin98 or want to start fresh with a **new multichain wallet**, this option is the way to go.\
It creates a **new wallet** inside the Coin98 Super Wallet app and links it to your **Zen Card.**

**Step 1:** Name the wallet as desired, then click **Continue**

<figure><img src="https://2549780185-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FirKWZRA5WMZ5uBeDGB96%2Fuploads%2F5ws4Z2NBcYmYUMcvXvKl%2Fcoin98-app-create-zen-wallet-1.png?alt=media&#x26;token=91a929ad-275c-45f8-9319-1c1f600ddcc7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Step 2:** Carefully back up your Seed Phrase or Private Key in a secure location.

Read the warnings, then select the three checkboxes to acknowledge the risks of losing your keys. Click **Import to Zen Wallet** to proceed

**Step 3:** Click on **Tap & hold Zen Card** on the NFC scanner of the phone until the notification shows successful

You may create your Zen Card Wallet in a different way by referring to [this guidance](https://docs.coin98.com/products/physical-cards/hybrid-wallet/zen-card-beginner-guide/how-to-create-a-zen-card-wallet)

#### 2.2. Restore Wallet to Zen Card

If you already have a wallet from outside Coin98, you can **import it to your Zen Card** using your **Seed Phrase**. This moves your existing wallet into the **Coin98 Super Wallet app** and links it to your **Zen Card**, giving you stronger security and simpler asset management.

**Step 1:** Enter a desired wallet’s name and Seed phrase

**Step 2:** Click **Import to Zen Wallet**

**Step 3:** Click on **Tap & hold Zen Card** on the NFC scanner of the phone until the notification shows successful

You may also restore your Zen Card Wallet by following the instructions provided [in this document](https://docs.coin98.com/products/physical-cards/hybrid-wallet/zen-card-beginner-guide/how-to-restore-a-zen-card-wallet)

#### 2.3. Migrate Hot Wallet to Zen Card

This process keeps your wallet address and assets exactly the same but moves the wallet’s key storage to your Zen Card, providing stronger protection through split-key encryption and enhanced security.

**Step 1:** Choose the existing Hot Wallet (Multichain) that you want to migrate then click on **Migrate Zen Card**

<figure><img src="https://2549780185-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FirKWZRA5WMZ5uBeDGB96%2Fuploads%2FRwjwnTPvpjcO5qb5VG0L%2Fcoin98-app-migrate-zencard-wallet-1.png?alt=media&#x26;token=c53d5f00-8515-4eda-b389-fde5d022161d" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Step 2:** Click on **Tap & hold Zen Card** on the NFC scanner of the phone until the notification shows successful

There is another way to migrate your Zen Card Wallet outlined [here](https://docs.coin98.com/products/physical-cards/hybrid-wallet/zen-card-beginner-guide/how-to-migrate-hot-wallets-to-zen-card)

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important Note:**

* Each **Zen Card** can store **only one wallet** at a time.
* Creating, restoring, or migrating a wallet will **replace the existing wallet** on your Zen Card.
* Before continuing, always **back up your Seed Phrase and Private Key** in a safe place.
* Once replaced, a previous wallet can **only be recovered** using its **Seed Phrase or Private Key**.
* If you add a wallet to a card that already has one, the app will show a **warning message,** make sure your backup is complete before proceeding.
