Account Setup

Once you’ve installed the Transaction Tool on your macOS device, follow these steps to complete the initial setup:

Open the Transaction Tool application

  • Open Finder from the macOS dock or top menu bar.

  • In the left-hand sidebar, select Applications.

  • Locate and double-click on Transaction Tool to launch it.

  • When the app launches, a pop-up will appear with an important message.

    • Review the message and select “I Understand and Agree” to proceed.


Sign in to the Transaction Tool

  • Choose Sign in with Keychain.

  • Enter your macOS device password.


Setup your Recovery Phrase

  • If you already have a recovery phrase: Select Import and enter your existing 24-word phrase.

  • If you don’t have one:

    • Click Create New to generate a new recovery phrase.

    • Check the box next to: “I understand that if I lose my recovery phrase, I will not be able to create new keys or recover lost keys.”

    • Select Generate.


Store your recovery phrase Securely

  • Ensure you store your recovery phrase securely, as it is not recoverable later.

  • After storing the phrase, check the box: “I have backed up my phrase somewhere safe.”

  • Click Verify to continue.


Verify Your Recovery Phrase

  • To verify you have access to your recovery phrase, you’ll be asked to enter a few missing words from your recovery phrase.

  • Enter the requested words and click Next.


Private Key Creation

  • A private key is automatically generated at index 0.

  • You can optionally add a nickname to help you identify this key later.

  • Click Next when you're ready.


You have successfully completed the setup! You will now be directed to the Personal workspace where you can begin managing your transactions.
